I saw a spider
I didn't scream.
Cause I can belch the alphabet
just double dog dare me.
And I chose guitar over ballet.
And I take these suckers down cause they just
get in my way.
The way
you look at me
is kinda like a little sister.
Rubbed by
your goodbyes.
And it leaves me nothing but blisters.

[Chorus]
So I don't want to be one of the boys.
One of your guys.
Just give me a chance
to prove to you i'm neither.
I just wanna be one of the girls.
Pretty in pearls.
Not one of the boys.

So over summer something changed.
I started reading 17
and shaving my legs.
And I study the litter religiously.
And I walked right in school
and caught you
staring at me.
Cause i know
what you know.
But now your gonna' have to take a number.
Its OK.
Maybe one day.
But not until i get my
diamond ring.

[Chorus]
Cause I don't want to be one of the boys.
One of your guys.
Just give me a chance
to prove to you i'm neither.
I just wanna be a homecoming queen
Not one of the boys.

I wanna be a flower
not a dirty weed.
And I wanna smell like roses
not a baseball team.
And I swear maybe one day.
Your gonna' wanna' make out make out make out with me

(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)

[Chorus]
Cause I, I don't wanna be one
one
one of the boys.
I just wanna be one of the girls.
So pretty in pearls.
Not one of the boys.
