I learned from my mother, where she learned from her mother 
 Said: Still look pretty, just flow with the water 
 Feel the ache in my stomach, but I'll go a little longer 
 No, ill won't kill me, just try a bit harder 
    But you, will never know 
 'Cause that's just how it goes, ooh   
 Girls will be girls, hold the weight of the world behind a painted smile 
 Sayin': Oh, I'm fine, and 
 Girls will be there, hold your hand when you can't get out of bed sometimes 
 Sayin': You'll be fine, 'cause   
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls   
 You picked me up in the middle of the night 
 He broke my heart for the hundredth time 
 You knew what to say, you've been here before 
 And you seen all the pain that he will ignore   
 Oh, that's just how it goes (ooh, ooh)   
 Girls will be girls, hold the weight of the world behind a painted smile 
 Sayin': Oh, I'm fine, and (oh, I'm fine) 
 Girls will be there, hold your hand when you can't get out of bed sometimes 
 Sayin': You'll be fine, 'cause   
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (they will be girls) 
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (ooh) 
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (ooh) 
 Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls 
 Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls   
 Girls will be girls, hold the weight of the world behind a painted smile 
 Sayin': Oh, I'm fine
