Robyn – Who’s That Girl
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA1BliEUthM]
Good girls are pretty like all the time
I’m just pretty some of the time
(yeah)
Good girls are happy and satisfied
I won’t stop asking until i die
(noooOOo)
I just can’t deal with the rules
I can’t take the pressure
[ Chorus ]
Who’s that girl? That you dream of
Who’s that girl? That you think you love
Who’s that girl? Well i’m nothing like her
I know there’s no such girl
I swear I can’t take the pressure
Who’s that girl?
Good girls don’t say no or ask you why
I won’t let you love me, until
you really try (oh no)
Good girls are sexy like every day
I’m only sexy when i say it’s ok
I just can’t deal with the rules
I can’t take the pressure
[ Chorus ]
Who’s that girl? That you dream of
Who’s that girl? That you think you love
Who’s that girl? What if I’m not like her
I know there’s no such girl
I swear i can’t take the pressure
Who’s that girl?
Let’s play a game that you never tried
You be the girl and I’ll be the guy
Let’s pretend everything has changed
and then would you love me any different
I just can’t deal with the rules
I can’t take the pressure (oh no)
Who’s that girl?
[ Chorus x2 ]
Who’s that girl? That you dream of
Who’s that girl? That you think you love
Who’s that girl? What if I’m nothing like her
I know there’s no such girl
I swear I can’t take the pressure
Who’s that girl?
Who’s that girl?
It gets a little exhausting trying to live up to everyone’s expectations all the time and appear normal nice happy perfectly well adjusted and everything else I am expected to be by various people I know. When I have a bad day or am not feeling quite myself, I am often afraid to talk to other people because I am afraid they will finally realize that I am not the perfect “whatever” they expect me to be (wife, daughter, aunt, friend, niece, granddaughter, businesswoman, woman, etc). I’m just me – and that is subject to change at any time, without notice. Why do so many people only love us when we are perfect, and disappear from our lives when we are not?
