I remember when boys told me,
"You play like a girl"
It's a matter of genetic history,
You play like a girl
"You can't be in my band
You can't play like a man
But there's one thing that you can do
Teach us to play like you..."
Now, all over this big, wide world,
I played like a girl
From the California lights,
To the Serengeti nights,
I played like a girl...
When I was ten years old I was told,
"You can't play baseball
You gotta pitch it underhand,
You can't throw it like a man,
You won't be any good at all
Girls don't know how to have fun,
Girls won't last in the long run
Girls give birth and stuff,
But they're not really tough enough..."
Now, all over this big, wide world,
I played like a girl
From the California lights,
To the Serengeti nights,
I played like a girl...
I don't wanna be Elvis,
Mikey Mantle or Babe
'Cause this isn't a contest
I just want to make some music
Happy, good time while I do it...
I don't need permission,
To change this tradition
When they tell me, "You can't play,"
Well, I just turn my back and say...
Now, all over this big, wide world,
I played like a girl
From the California lights,
To the Serengeti nights,
I played like a girl
I played like a girl
I played like a girl...
