Don't let anybody tell you who you are; don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve what you're willing to work for.
Never give up; you\'ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.

You're sittin' over there
talkin' like you're better than me
like you've got a right, more skill in everything
like it's destined in some prophecy
But let me tell you something
something one day you'll see
one day you'll figure out, what the world is all about
you'll step back to re-evaluate me
re-think your priorities

CHORUS: Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day she will become your world
she understands,she wears the pants
she knows your thoughts with one glance

Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day you'll be on her pay roll
can control you with her finger,
so don't dare too long to linger,
cause' you know she's in control
never underestimate a girl

Go ahead and drop your mouth
you know what I'm talkin' about
guess one day you'll see
Beauty tamed the Beast
Ariel left the sea
we're stronger than you think

CHORUS

Never underestimate a girl
no, never underestimate a girl

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE A GIRL... I know some guys think they are tougher or more skilled but... us girls stick together and we're strong and we're quick thinking... so we'll take your world by surprise....

Save me from myself
I can't relate
We're mouth to mouth
And still I suffocate
There's nothing left
Inside of me to break
Save me from myself
Save me from myself
There's nothing left inside me
There's nothing left

honestly i think it is pretty much identical to the vanessa hudgens song. Same title, same concept, same lines; its just not original at all... sorry to give so much criticism

Pretty much like what Rawwr said: A lot of times in a relationship people will say that the man wears the pants-which essentially means that he make the decisions. So if the woman wears the pants then she's the one who is "leader" in the relationship. (Leader is also a common analogy to a relationship. Leader::follower.

I like it, it's awesomely feminist, quite realistic, etc. etc., but seriously I don't get the line about pants. Is it like to show that girls don't all wear skirts or something like that?

As a women- or young girl, if that's what you'd prefer- that lives with 4 older brothers that always come to me for girl advice, I can understand where you're going with this. And we might understand if you don't like certain girls 'cause of how they treat you, and we might not. Like the author said, "...Us girls stick together and we're strong and we're quick thinking..."

It's good, but it's too similar to the  Vanessa Hudgens song.

pleas dont take this as rude or anything but there is a song exactly like this, same title and everything, by vanessa hudgens. and you used some of the lines from the song. im just wondering if its like an honest coincidence or if u just assumed no one would know the song? it is good though. : >
