A girl like me can light up any party And hold the crowd in her hand A girl like me can turn heads on the runway And travel off to distant lands A girl like me knows how to make her money She's just as smart as she is cute She's strong and doesn't take it from nobody A girl like me knows how to live her truth A girl like me can dream But sometimes that's all that she can do To belong, to be loved in the arms of someone That's all I wanna be I just need to be heard, to be seen Do you know what I mean? Would it hurt to try and see If you could love a girl, love a girl like me? A girl like me isn't always seen as equal And sometimes not one at all A girl like me can't give a man a baby And when trouble comes she's first to take the fall And girls like me are scared and angry But we always find a way to smile To belong, to be loved in the arms of someone That's all I wanna be I just need to be heard, to be seen Do you know what I mean? Would it hurt to try and see If you could love a girl, love a girl like me? The girl who's fighting for her life The girl who can't go home at night The girl who strives for good But ends up so misunderstood The girl who needs love to call her own To belong, to be loved in the arms of someone That's all I wanna be I just need to be heard, to be seen Do you know what I mean? Would it hurt to try and see If you could love a girl, love a girl like me?
