Don&#039;t let anybody tell you who you are; don&#039;t let anyone tell you that you don&#039;t deserve what you&#039;re willing to work for. <br /> Never give up; you\&#039;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

I have to agree with TrinityCreed on the fact that girls do not "wear the pants"; that's not how we were made. Besides that, I really do like the song. =) Being a girl seems to mean being underestimated so I love how it's being called out.

Okay i may admit this: don't underestimate the female gender. But with the phrase: "she understands, she wears the pants" I think that went a little too far. Women do not wear the pants in a relationship! Guys do! And that's coming from a guy's perspective!

um... good song, but girls hold "grudges" guys don't.  We'll fistfight one day, but the next, we'll be complamenting eachother on our punches.  Its just a guy thing.

I had a hard time believing that this song is completely original, but if you say it is, then I trust that. And this song was well-written. And it is SO true

Absolutly love it! I think it might go well with some slow accostic guitar, but that's just my opinion. (:

Really like this.  Wish you told us the tune to it.  I like how it doesn't even have to be about boy vs. girl, but anyone that thinks they are better just because you are different then them.

This song is perfect to get a message through, especailly to a significant other. When I read this, I thought "Wow, this is an inspiration to all young women because we should all know that noone can control us; including a guy." In fact, its the oppisite. Most people see it, but yet they are afraid to admit that its true. When a guy or just anyone looks at someone, they judge because its human instinct. When a girl is noticed, some men would think "weak, lonely, cant overcome most, etc." This song, tells the readers/singers that noone should be underestimated depended on how they look, how they percieve and approach themselves, etc. Finally, for some humor, girls dominate the world (:

the only thing that's the same is the title. perhaps you should research before you call someone on something that isn't even true
