All our friends, they're getting old But the girls are still staying young If I get caught being rude in a conversation With a child bride on her summer vacation

No matter how hard I try, to be just one of the guys There's a little something inside that won't let me (oh, oh, oh) No matter how hard I try, to have an open mind There's a little voice inside that prevents me (oh, oh, oh)

How I live, it got me here Locked in this bathroom, full of tears I have begged for you, and I have borrowed But I've been the only sister to my own sorrow

No matter how hard I try, to be just one of the guys There's a little something inside that won't let me (oh, oh, oh) No matter how hard I try, to have an open mind There's a little clock inside that keeps ticking

There's only one difference between you and me When I look at myself all I can see I'm just another lady without a baby

No matter how hard I try, to be just one of the guys There's a little something inside that won't let me (oh, oh, oh) No matter how hard I try, to have an open mind There's a little cop inside that prevents me

I'm not gonna break for you I'm not gonna pray for you I'm not gonna pay for you That's not what ladies do
