Don't let anybody tell you who you are; don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve what you're willing to work for.
Never give up; you\'ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.


You're sittin' over there
talkin' like you're better than me
like you've got a right, more skill in everything
like it's destined in some prophecy
But let me tell you something
something one day you'll see
one day you'll figure out, what the world is all about
you'll step back to re-evaluate me
re-think your priorities

CHORUS: Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day she will become your world
she understands,she wears the pants
she knows your thoughts with one glance

Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day you'll be on her pay roll
can control you with her finger,
so don't dare too long to linger,
cause' you know she's in control
never underestimate a girl

Go ahead and drop your mouth
you know what I'm talkin' about
guess one day you'll see
Beauty tamed the Beast
Ariel left the sea
we're stronger than you think

CHORUS

Never underestimate a girl
no, never underestimate a girl

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE A GIRL... I know some guys think they are tougher or more skilled but... us girls stick together and we're strong and we're quick thinking... so we'll take your world by surprise....

As a female, I encounter sexism everyday. It's good to know that someone else, besides me, knows the difference between right and wrong. I usually don't like to read lyrics that don't have the notes, or baets, but this was actually okay. Love the lyrics, you really have a way with words... ^_^

This is pretty good! However, what do you think about the countries in which girls really are opressed?  This kind of freedom is not seen around the world.  It's more of a USA thing.

If you love something, then let it go,
If it comes back, it's yours forever,
If it leaves you, then it was never meant to be.

You said it, dude.

This was a  really good! I love the whole "Can control you with her finger" part. I believe that both genders are equally powerful and need each other to share their positive traits fully but you prove a good point haha.

I don't have nothing against women as a whole. I do have things against certain women based on how they treated me, but the ironic thing is that they cry out for equality with men, they get, and then, when he defends himself from her menstrual wrath, he gets put in jail for abuse. IF YOU WANT EQUALITY, YOU GOT IT. LAY YOUR HANDS ON A MAN, DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN HE HAS HAD ENOUGH AND RETALIATES!

Thank you! I hate guys who are insanely sexist....it just kind of puts the entire male population down, you know? At least there are some people that get that this is a really good song, and that it deserves the praise that it has been recieving. [Sorry if I haven't commented on this before! I love it!]

I really like your poem-I love your references to Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid-they show a comparison and a contrast between the young girl who used to watch those movies, and the powerful girl she is now.

I loved it! It really captured the idea that girls are more than what most people make us out to be. It was truly breath taking!

That is so cool and true. This song is what a good bit of the girls out there are thinking but would rather not say (Like me!).

You have said it for the rest of us!  : )

Wow, this song was great It was one of those songs that you can sing to any tune, and it still sounds amazing. This song definitely had strong emotion behind it. Loved it, and keep writing!

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."

This is beautiful! It's just one of those works of art that could be heard as a slow song or a fast-paced, in your face kind of song!
