What It Feels Like for a Girl (Tracy Young Cool Out radio mix) - Madonna

(Spoken:)

Girls can wear jeans

And cut their hair short

Wear shirts and boots

'Cause it's okay to be a boy

But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading

'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading

But secretly you'd love to know what it's like

Wouldn't you?

What it feels like for a girl

Silky smooth

Lips as sweet as candy, baby

Tight blue jeans

Skin that shows in patches

Strong inside but you don't know it

Good little girls they never show it

When you open up your mouth to speak

Could you be a little weak?

Chorus:

Do you know what it feels like for a girl?

Do you know what it feels like in this world

For a girl?

Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby

Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting

Hurt that's not supposed to show

And tears that fall when no one knows

When you're trying hard to be your best

Could you be a little less?

(chorus)

(chorus, prefixing 3rd line with "What it feels like")

Strong inside but you don't know it

Good little girls they never show it

When you open up your mouth to speak

Could you be a little weak?

(chorus, repeat)

In this world

Do you know

Do you know

Do you know what it feels like for a girl?

What it feels like in this world
