You're My Girls

© DK Sweet

 

It's not easy being a girl

Especially growin' up these days

You're 'sposedta look like a cover girl,

work McJobs and make straight A's

 

And if you're not measurin' up

You're falling for half of the plan

The rest is just to hate yourself

So walk away and take my hand . . . 'cuz

 

You're my girls, everyone,

I love you all so madly

You're my girls, a piece of my heart,

I give it to you so gladly

 

It's not easy being a woman

Living in the world today

Can't stay at home to raise the kids

Gotta work, and for half the pay

 

So when she comes home at night

Remember what she's been through

One day you might be in her place

That's why I'm saying to you . . .

 

You're my girls, and you're the best

I love you madly, madly

You're my girls, a piece of my heart,

I give it to you so gladly

You're my girls, everyone,

Our future needs you so badly

 

Bridge:

If you've got a mom and a dad

and it's safe for you to walk to school

Count yourself lucky girl:

you're an exception, exception to the rule

 

(rest for two repeats)

 

Chorus: You're my girls, everyone,

I love you all so madly

You're my girls, a piece of my heart,

I give it to you so gladly

You're my girls, like Ellington

I love you madly, madly

You're my girls, everyone,

Our future needs you so badly

 

You're my girls!
