Dancing in her platform ballerinas
That's about as girly as she gets
She ain't like no other señorita
And she will never let you forget
She says, don't believe everything you see
That a girl wakes up with makeup and her heart on her sleeve
She says, better be yourself, your making
'Cause every other girl out there is taken
She says, so come on
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
And her hips she moves, grooving to the music like a woman do
Throws her body in it not for me, not you, but for her
And that don't make her less of a girl
Dancing in her platform ballerinas
Like she's dancing in her kitchen at home
She says life is made up of decisions
But that every one of them must be her own
Don't believe everything you see
That a girl wakes up with makeup and her heart on her sleeve
She says, better be yourself, your making
'Cause every other girl out there is taken
She says, so come on
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
And her hips she moves
Grooving to the music like a woman do
Throws her body in it not for me, not you, but for her
And that don't make her less of a girl
When that song comes on
She don't know the words, but she still sings along
Everybody's laughing, but it doesn't even matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
She don't have to aim to miss
Blowing up her lips to make them best to kiss
That won't even help to get a guy to kiss her better
And that don't make her less of a girl
She says, so come on
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
