I saw a spider, I didn't scream 'Cause, I can belch the alphabet just double dog dare me And I chose guitar over ballet And I tape these suckers down, 'cause, they just get in my way The way you look at me is kinda like a little sister Rubbed by your goodbyes And it leaves me nothing but blisters So I don't wanna be one of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be one of the girls Pretty in pearls and not one of the boys So over the summer something changed I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs And I study Lolita religiously And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me 'Cause, I know what you know But now you're gonna have to take a number It's okay Maybe one day, but not until you give me my diamond ring 'Cause, I don't wanna be one of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be your homecoming queen Pin-up poster dream and not one of the boys I wanna be a flower, not a dirty weed I wanna smell like roses, not a baseball team And I swear maybe one day You're gonna wanna make out, make out, make out with me Don't wanna be Don't wanna be Don't wanna be 'Cause, I don't wanna be one of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be one of the girls Pretty in pearls and not one of the boys
