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....

That quote is really annoying to me.

1. It doesn't make sense

2. It's untrue

3. It's still sexist, just different sexist

Its obvious that you do. some girls may go for the Damsel in Distress thing but not all do. There is a difference between being a gentlemen( opening a door) and downgrading women (when boys insist on doing something a girl wants to do)

That made me sound like a sexist idiot, didn't it?

Thats not what I meant. I'm reading this and thinking that you think girls are better than guys.

THATS what I disagree with.

LETS HAVE SOME EQUALITY, PEOPLE!!

Well written, apart from that.

I listen to lots of music I disagree with.

Well done! I've always like the quote, " The man may be the head of the household, but the woman is the neck. The neck controlls the head."

STEREOTYPE! I know plenty of females that wear the pants in their relationships, and I know plenty that don't. Don't generalize.

Many of the coments on this page do not focus on what a great song amanda727 has written. Instead, they focus on stereotypes of males and females. Just remember: not everyone fulfills all stereotypes.

Dear TrinityCreed,

Wow, I just read this entire argument and TrinityCreed, you just fulfilled almost every stereotype there is for the male gender. Just as not all of these stereotypes are true for all males, not all the stereotypes you have in your brain are true for all females. Please go eat some humble pie.

Sincerely,

EmilyMichelle
