Girl, you're skinny; Girl, you're fat

Girl, you're this; Girl, you're that

Girl, you should stop; Girl, you should go

Girl, you're too smart; Girl, you wouldn't know

Girl, you're full of potential; Girl, you're wasted

Girl, you're special; Girl, you're basic

Girl, you're average; Girl, you're gifted

Girl, you're around too much; Girl, you've drifted

Girl, you're a woman now; Woman, you're just a girl

How can you expect a woman to be a woman in this world?
