You run slower
Stand lower
They say you'll never be as strong as your big brother
Just sit tight
Tongue tied
And take every punch they throw with your head held high
'Cause you're "too emotional"
You don't wanna cry
Come on
Be tough just like one of the guys
Close your eyes
Internalize all the boy scouts ruling your life
Be strong little girl
Take on all the weight of the whole wide world
'Cause it's up to you to make the whole world better
It's up to you to make the whole world better
Be strong little girl
Take on all the weight of the whole wide world
'Cause it's up to you to make the whole world better
It's up to you to make the whole world better
You've had enough
You speak your mind
But you say all the wrong things at the wrong time
And now you're tired
Don't wanna try
'Cause if you do and you fail then they'll think they were right
'Cause you're "too emotional"
You just wanna cry
Come on
Be tough just like one of the guys
Damned if you do
Damned if you don't
Hold your breath just to stay afloat
Be strong little girl
Take on all the weight of the whole wide world
'Cause it's up to you to make the whole world better
It's up to you to make the whole world better
Be strong little girl
Take on all the weight of the whole wide world
'Cause it's up to you to make the whole world better
It's up to you to make the whole world better
She's got the whole world in her hands
She's got the whole world in her hands
She's got the whole world in her hands
She's got the whole world in her hands
Next time they say you're cute, petite
Stand up
Be loud
Show them what it means
To be brave
Be strong
Be so damn tough
You thrive in a world that says you ain't enough
