Never Understimate a Girl
September 12, 2009
You're sittin' over there
talkin' like you're better than me
like you've got a right, more skill in everything
like it's destined in some prophecy
But let me tell you something
something one day you'll see
one day you'll figure out, what the world is all about
you'll step back to re-evaluate me
re-think your priorities
CHORUS: Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day she will become your world
she understands,she wears the pants
she knows your thoughts with one glance
Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day you'll be on her pay roll
can control you with her finger,
so don't dare too long to linger,
cause' you know she's in control
never underestimate a girl
Go ahead and drop your mouth
you know what I'm talkin' about
guess one day you'll see
Beauty tamed the Beast
Ariel left the sea
we're stronger than you think
CHORUS
Never underestimate a girl
no, never underestimate a girl

I love this, so subtle, but powerful, and got the message across really nicely, not too aggressive, but not a background voice.

I can relate to this so much, and you're right! Beauty tamed the Beast, Ariel left the sea, Elsa found her inner beauty (sorry on a rhyming roll lol). I love how you captured what we want to say and how we feel. You go girl!

i loved this so much! i love how you described the girls points of views, the ones we are so scared or embarrassed to say.
It's a very powerful poem, amanda727. I know what it's like to be underestimated by guys. There are some things - like move heavy things onstage - that I'm just not supposed to do because "You're a girl and there are literally guys five feet away from you, you could get hurt, and honestly JayeNix, stop before something happens, you're literally the person most likely to get hurt in here...". This poem speaks to me.
Is there a particular person you were thinking of when you wrote it? You poem seems very... focused, like you wrote it for a particular person (or about them).

You made a very beautiful song that could spread to girls world wide almost telling them that they can rule and tell the boys world wide that they won't always be in control.....sorry if i missed the whole point of the song....would you mind if i sang it for my choir as long as i say who wrote it?

Oh my god, why do I love this so much? Oh right, because it's AMAZING! I love this song, and if you are ever in need of someone to sing it, I will be there in 0.5 seconds.

I love this!! Amazing job!
As a girl who gets constantly underestimated, I love these lyrics! Being underestimated can be used to your advantage, but mostly it's just annoying. Somehow, I am weaker, slower, dumber, and less capable because I am a woman? Doesn't make sense. These lyrics express my frustrations really well! Unfortunately, not everyone will understand just how capable women are.
