Lyrics:
A GIRL

V1
Have you ever got to thinking
They’re all swimming while I’m sinking in the sea
Is it only me

They’re all maxing and relaxing
While I’m masking, re-enacting like a chump
Am I the only one?

It’s like every time they trip and fall
They get another chance
You slip once and you’re escorted from the dance

It’s because you’re a girl
It’s because you’re a girl

V2
Have you wondered why your teacher
And the mailman and the preacher’s such a dick
It’s ‘cause you’re a chick.

Have you wondered why your vendor
From the mailman to bartender’s such a heel
Just ‘cause you’re in heels

And the make you set the table
But you can’t sit down to eat
It’s like reproduce, rinse off and then repeat

It’s because you’re a girl
It’s because you’re a girl

Bridge
See I know what I want
Cause I know who I am
And I know where I stand
And I do not give a damn

That you don’t know what I want
Cause I know who I am
And I know where I stand
And I do not give a damn, that you don't…

V3
Realize we’re running things
Cause we hold more elected seats
In better universities
Clevererer intuitively 

Don’t realize we live longer
And were made to handle more
From the classroom to the bedroom
We outperform

It’s because we’re girls
It’s because we’re girls
It’s because
We’re girls

A Girl

Laugh It Off

Say It Again

When you scream at Ghosts....

I met a masked robber at an open bar at Mardi Gras
He smiled and said ” I’m gonna steal your heart”
I said, if you’re trying to get my attention 
That’s a pretty good place to start 
I'd never thought he'd break my heart


I fell hard and fast
I thought, this kind of love could last
But....damn 
How could I have been so wrong?
Different dancer,  same song 
by the time the fall leaves fell
he was gone


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why...
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
but I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay 
Take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder, 
I need closure,
This Louisiana girl needs to bury you


I sleep on your side of the bed
Where your head used to rest
I know that doesn't make sense 
I still don't know why you left
This is the state of affairs 
you left me in 
Was I not worth an explanation?
 I still feel your breath on my skin


I still go to Welty's  on Saint Charles Avenue
Our usual waitress, Miss Olivia 
she doesn't ask about you 
a knowing look, she says, 
Sugar, are you doin' okay?
I can barley nod, yes
Because inside I'm dying 
She knows I 'm lying

I could tell her you moved to California
But the truth is to this day
I don't know where you are either way


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
But I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me ?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay
take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder,  I need closure,
This Louisianna girl needs to bury you


I'm gonna bury you 
I'm gonna bury you
