Quote of the Week - Lewis

"No matter how hard I try
to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside
that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try
to have an open mind
There's a little voice inside
that prevents me!"

~ Jenny Lewis

I've been loving on this cut a while now, and resisting posting quotes from it, but the video just put it over the tipping point.



Everybody needs a rainbow suit. Especially on Mondays!

Basically, I just want to say YES to everything she says in this song. This is how it feels to be a girl.

Thanks, Jenny Lewis!


Just One of the Guys 

Jenny Lewis

All our friends, they're gettin' on,
But the girls are still staying young
If I get caught being rude in a conversation
With the child bride on her summer vacation

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little voice inside that prevents me!

Ooh, how I live it got me here
Locked in this bathroom FULL OF TEARS
And I have begged for you & I have borrowed,
but I've been the only sister to MY OWN SORROW!

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little clock inside that keeps tickin' !

There's only one difference between you & me:
When I look at myself all I can see,
I'm just another lady without a BABY

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little cop inside that prevents me!

I'm not gonna break for you!
I'm not gonna pray for you!
I'm not gonna pay for you!
That's not what ladies do!

Oh when you break
When you break
Oh when you break
Oh when you break
