Nerina Pallot - If I Had A Girl lyrics

I'm a rock, I'm an island: I need no one to love me At the end of the world, there'll be no man above me I work the live long day, to do things my way But if I had a girl, I would tell her this Oh yeah, "no" means "no", but your skirt comes into question That you ask for it, will be the who*e's suggestion You'll work the live long day, to take home half the pay So if I had a girl, I would tell her this You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster Don't take no sh** off no lord, no master Don't listen when they see how far you've gone Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies And you work some more, now listen ladies If you think we're done, we've only just begun Well you go to school and they tell you that you're equal But in the big wide world that just means half the people And one thing you don't see, there ain't no dicks on page three So if you have a girl, please remind her this You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster Don't take no sh** off no lord, no master Don't listen when they see how far you've gone Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies And you work some more, now listen ladies If you think we're done, we've only just begun If you think we're done, we've only just begun And if you think we're done, we've only just begun We've only got started We've only got started We've only got started So far to go So far to go And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains I don't have to hate men, to know that life ain't fair Now I see how far we've got to go, but I know, I know, I know... I will get there
