what it means to be a girl - Emeline

Fake a smile, fake an orgasm

Fake a laugh, do it all for him

Be polite, spend the night

Call it self-defence

Got the time of his life at my own expense

But even if he were my man

He’d never truly understand

What it means to be a girl

Put ribbons in my curls

Then carry around a knife with my diamonds

It’s psycho, we’re living in a world

Where I get into clubs because I’m hot as fuck

But I don’t trust what’s in my cup

That’s what it means to be a girl

Take his name, give your sanity

Take the blame, put his mind at ease

Trade it all, for a false self-insecurity

Fall in love, fall in line with all his fantasies

But even if he were my man

He’d never truly understand

What it means to be a girl

Put ribbons in my curls

Then carry around a knife with my diamonds

It’s psycho, we’re living in a world

Where I get into clubs because I’m hot as fuck

But I don’t trust what’s in my cup

That’s what it means to be a girl

Fake it till we make everyone happy but ourselves

Use us for our bodies till there’s nothing but a shell

It’s a mutual experience we’re not supposed to tell

And won’t act like you have felt

What it means to be a girl

Put ribbons in my curls

Then carry around a knife with my diamonds

It’s psycho, we’re living in a world

Where I get into clubs because I’m hot as fuck

But I don’t trust what’s in my cup

That’s what it means to be a girl

That’s what it means to be a girl

Ah-aah

That’s what it means to be a girl

Ah-aah
