Lyrics
I will never wear my skirt shorter so I can catch your eye
I will never fake my own tragedy and happen to stop by
I will never order what pleases you when I?m on a date
I will never overly-analyze every word you say
I won?t strategically place myself where I know you will be
I won?t tell you what you want to hear ? that just isn?t me
I refuse to be your typical girl
There?s plenty of her in this world
Why should I change myself into what you think I should be
When all you?ve got to love is me
I work like my father ? fearless of the dirt
My fingers earn their calluses so keep your manicure
I don?t need constant attention to edify myself
I don?t need diamonds or jewelry or any other wealth
When I stand to leave the room ? no one come along
And when I am upset with you I?ll tell you what went wrong
Chorus Twice
