Eileen Torrez - The Girl Next Door lyrics

[Verse 1] Getting through the day conveniently But legacy has subtly locked you in a tower Cause it's the same old game Where anytime you speak your mind You're pushed aside, you don't have the power Do we have to choose Between the validation we deserve And the pa**ion in our words? Yeah, what do we lose To settle for the easy role? Still we know we're not being heard, said [Chorus] Hey, hey, I wanna be seen As more than just a beauty queen, and Hey, hey, I wanna be more Than the girl next door [Verse 2] Reading magazines would make you think That Pageantry will always mean more than your opinions in our society We seem to have divided femininity from our independence The status quo will never overturn Until we learn to demonstrate what we believe in It's time we show the nation That our self-determination is the only way to win, said [Chorus] Hey, hey, I wanna be seen As more than just a beauty queen, and Hey, hey, I wanna be more Than the girl next door [Bridge] Stand up ladies and speak your truth The world's got something to learn from you No one's gonna do it unless we do Let's give 'em all a little more attitude, and say [Chorus] Hey, hey, I wanna be seen As more than just a beauty queen, and Hey, hey, I wanna be more Than the girl next door Hey, hey, I wanna be seen As more than just a beauty queen, and Hey, hey, I wanna be more Than the girl next door [Outro] Stand up ladies and speak your truth The world's got something to learn from you No one's gonna do it unless we do The world's got something to learn from you
