[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Mom bought me a pink dress Said "honey, try to look your best" But I got paint stains on my jeans And that's exactly who I mean to be They say "fix your attitude" "Be sweet and nice, that's what girls do" Well, sorry if I break your rules But I ain't nobody's fool [Break] [Chorus] I'm not your perfect girl Won't fit into your world Don't need your validation Or your standing ovation Yeah, I might mess it up But I don't give a what I'm gonna be myself Can't be nobody else (Hey! Yeah!) [Guitar solo] [Verse 2] They want me to speak softer Walk slower, smile broader But I run wild and free That's the only way to be Got my own imagination My own interpretation Of how this life should go And that's all I need to know [Break] [Chorus] I'm not your perfect girl Won't fit into your world Don't need your validation Or your standing ovation Yeah, I might mess it up But I don't give a what I'm gonna be myself Can't be nobody else (Hey! Yeah!) [Bridge] Maybe I'm too loud Maybe I'm too proud Maybe I don't fit in your crowd But I won't back down Won't change who I am Won't play pretend 'Cause at the end I gotta be my own best friend [Chorus] I'm not your perfect girl Won't fit into your world Don't need your validation Or your standing ovation Yeah, I might mess it up But I don't give a what I'm gonna be myself Can't be nobody else (Watch me shine!) [Outro] So take your perfect world And your perfect girls I'm gonna make my own way (Hey! Hey! Hey!) [end]
