All our friends, they're gettin' on 
But the girls are still staying young 
If I get caught [bad word] in a conversation 
With a child bride on a 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 
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind 
There's a little something inside that prevents me 

It's how I live. You got me here, 
Locked in this bathroom full of tears 
And 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 
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind 
There's a little clock inside that keeps tickin' 

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 
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
