THIS GIRL’S GOT TO PLAY

Verse 1:
I never really planned it – it just settled in my brain
Music lived inside my bones – guitar was running through my veins
When it got around to high school I felt like I was damned
I couldn’t deal with tests and grades – I wanted to be in a band
What can I say? This girl’s got to play
Chorus:
Please take me as I am, best as you can
I pray someday you’ll find a way – 'cause this girl’s got to play
Verse 2:
I tried to be successful at something nine to five
The daily scene nearly killed me and music kept my soul alive
When I finally got a nightclub gig they said put down your guitar and sing
Just look real cute and entertain – sorry honey it ain’t my thing
What can I say? This girl’s got to play
Bridge:
Some friends didn’t understand it – women don’t act this way, they say
That dress was too tight for comfort – it’s a high price to pay
Sorry, this girl’s got to play
