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 kinda like a little sister

Your high five, your goodbyes

And it leaves me nothing but blisters

[Chorus:]

So I don't wanna 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

Not one of the boys

So over the summer something changed

I started reading "Seventeen" and shaving my legs

And I studied "Lolita" 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 OK

Maybe one day

But not until you give me my diamond ring

[Chorus:]

'Cause I don't wanna 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 homecoming queen

Pin-up poster dream

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) don't wanna be

(Don't wanna be)

[Chorus:]

'Cause I don't wanna 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
