Lyrics:

[English]

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl, girl? (Girl, girl)

Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Yeah, I don't know if you like me

Sometimes I think you might hate me

Sometimes I think I might hate you

Maybe you just wanna be me

You always say, "Let's go out"

So we go eat at a restaurant

Sometimes it feels a bit awkward

'Cause we don't have much in common

People say we're alike

They say we've got the same hair

We talk about making music

But I don't know if it's honest

Can't tell if you wanna see me

Falling over and failing

And you can't tell what you're feeling

I think I know how you feel

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl)

Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

You're all about writing poems

But I'm about throwing parties

Think you should come to my party

And put your hands up

I think we're totally different

But opposites do attract

Maybe we're so meant to be

Just you and me

'Cause people say we're alike

They say we've got the same hair

One day we might make some music

The internet would go crazy

But you might still wanna see me

Falling over and failing

At least we're closer to being on the same page

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

Girl, how do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl)

Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl (girl, girl, girl, girl)

(Girl, girl, girl, girl...)

Grammar:

  • Yeah, I don't know if you like me

    ➔ Subordinating conjunction "if" expressing doubt.

    ➔ The word "if" introduces a clause that expresses uncertainty or doubt about whether the other person likes the speaker.

  • Sometimes I think you might hate me

    ➔ Modal verb "might" expressing possibility.

    ➔ The word "might" indicates a weaker possibility than "may" or "will". It suggests the speaker is unsure but considers it a plausible scenario.

  • Maybe you just wanna be me

    ➔ Use of "wanna" - a colloquial contraction of "want to".

    "Wanna" is very common in informal speech and song lyrics, creating a more relaxed and conversational tone.

  • Sometimes it feels a bit awkward

    ➔ The use of "a bit" to soften an adjective.

    "A bit" functions as an intensifier, but it makes the adjective slightly less strong. Instead of "very awkward", it's "a bit awkward", which sounds less severe.

  • People say we're alike

    ➔ The use of the contracted form "we're" which is "we are".

    ➔ Using contractions like "we're" makes the language sound more casual and conversational.

  • But opposites do attract

    ➔ Emphatic use of "do" before the verb "attract".

    ➔ The "do" is used for emphasis. Without it, the sentence would simply state a fact. With "do", it emphasizes the truth of the statement.

  • Maybe we're so meant to be

    ➔ Use of "meant to be" to express destiny or predetermination.

    "Meant to be" implies that something is destined to happen and that it is part of a greater plan.

  • The internet would go crazy

    ➔ Use of the conditional "would" to describe a hypothetical situation.

    ➔ Using "would" suggests that this is not a real situation, but a possible outcome if they made music together.
