I saw a spider I didn’t scream ’Cause I can belch the alphabet Just double dog dare me And I chose guitar over ballet And I take these suckers down ’Cause they just get in my way The way you look at me Is kind like a little sister Rubbed by your goodbyes And it leaves me nothing but blisters So I don?t wanna to be One of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be One of the girls Pretty in pearls And not one of the boys So over the summers something changed I started reading Seventeen And shaving my legs And I studied the litter religiously And I walked right into school And caught you staring at me ?Cause I know what you know But now you?re gonna have to take a number It?s okay maybe one day But not until you give me my diamond ring So I don?t wanna to be One of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be Your home coming queen Pinup poster dream And not one of the boys I wanna be a flower not a dirty weed I wanna smell like roses not a baseball team And I swear maybe one day you?re gonna wanna Make out make out make out with me Don’t wanna be Don’t wanna be Don’t wanna be So I don?t wanna to be One of the boys One of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be One of the girls Pretty in pearls And not one of the boys

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le désir d'une jeune femme de ne pas être perçue comme l'un des garçons, malgré ses talents et sa personnalité. Elle exprime son envie d'être reconnue pour sa féminité et ses aspirations, plutôt que de se fondre dans le groupe masculin. À travers des références à son adolescence, elle souligne sa transformation et son souhait d'être appréciée de manière romantique, tout en revendiquant son identité. Le tout se passe dans un cadre scolaire, où les dynamiques de genre prennent tout leur sens, mettant en avant la quête d'acceptation et d'amour.
