Waiting all your life
To talk about (talk about) the birds and the bees, yeah
Waiting all your life
To do the things (2x) the birds and the bees do
Growing up you learn to wait a while (a while)
Or take it slow awhile (a while)
Cause youre learning from the right role models
Cinderella, Snow White you know the rest
They made us all wanna choose perfection
(Doohoo Doo, ru, doohoohoohoe yeah)
Growing up you think youve found the One (the One)
But you get hurt over and over again
Growing up you learn (you learn) to take control (control)
Or hurt them back (2x) or stop this loving thing cause its not for you
Then one day you meet this guy
He seem so right
Are you mad to try again
But you do, you try again
If people wanna know why this is my answer
Chorus:
Im just a girl (Im just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
A girl (Im just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
His eyes make me believe in love
His heart made me try again
His life made me reach for life
Verse Two
Waiting all your life (your life) to live your life (life)
now youre caught up in group talk (talk)
Waiting all your life (your life) to stand up tall (tall)
now youre too shy to let them see you (see you)
All grown up and it doesnt make sense how they still hold you down (down)
And they still make you doubt (doubt)
Cinderella, Snow White, you know the rest
They might be real but focus on your own love story
(Doohoo Doo, ru, doohoohoohoe yeah)
You know you wanna tell them about his dreams (dreams)
About his visions (visions) and how he made them real (real)
You know you wanna tell them amongst these things (things)
He still makes you feel like number one
But theres one thing, theyll find his flaws
Are you mad thats what theyll say
But you know and God knows he is human
If people wanna know why (why) Im holding on
I have to say that
Chorus:
Im just a girl (Im just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
A girl (Im just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
His eyes make me believe in love
His heart made me try again
His life made me reach for life
