Official lyrics for "elephant girl"
Verse 1:
Little girl what are you fighting for
Little girl what are you looking for
Little girl where do you fit in
Little girl where do you belong
Prechorus:
One more one more one more game to play
One more one more one more blame to prove
One more one more one more thing to say
One more one more one more…
Chorus:
Cuz I’m big girl now
Don’t tell me who to be
Cuz I’m big girl now
Don’t tell me what to say
I’m sick of all the rules
Sick of all the tools
Sick of all the games
So don’t tell me what to do
I’m sick of all the rules
Sick of all the games
Sick of all the tools
So don’t tell me what to say
I’m sick of all the rules
Sick of all the games
Sick of all the tools
So don’t tell me what to do
Verse 2:
You’re not a communal body for a sacrifice
Ya take cover in that secret life
Those smiles and ties of what you think you are
Won’t fool no one, not even yourself
Prechorus:
One more one more one more game to play
One more one more one more blame to prove
One more one more one more thing to say
One more one more one more…
Chorus:
Cuz I’m a big girl now
I’m just trying to find my place
Yeah I’m a big girl now
I’m just starting to lose my trace
I’m sick of all the rules
Sick of all the games
Sick of all the tools
So don’t tell me what to do
I’m sick of all the rules
Sick of all the games
Sick of all the tools
So don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do!
And, don’t tell me what to say!
“Tis true, my form is something odd, but blaming me is blaming God.” -- Isaac Watts
