You're sittin' over there
talkin' like you're better than me
like you've got a right, more skill in everything
like it's destined in some prophecy
But let me tell you something
something one day you'll see
one day you'll figure out, what the world is all about
you'll step back to re-evaluate me
re-think your priorities

CHORUS: Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day she will become your world
she understands,she wears the pants
she knows your thoughts with one glance

Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day you'll be on her pay roll
can control you with her finger,
so don't dare too long to linger,
cause' you know she's in control
never underestimate a girl

Go ahead and drop your mouth
you know what I'm talkin' about
guess one day you'll see
Beauty tamed the Beast
Ariel left the sea
we're stronger than you think

CHORUS

Never underestimate a girl
no, never underestimate a girl

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE A GIRL... I know some guys think they are tougher or more skilled but... us girls stick together and we're strong and we're quick thinking... so we'll take your world by surprise....

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;

hey; I agree with you! No, I do not believe that women are superior necessarily. I believe we are equal, if not better, than men.

I like how the strength of a woman is emphasized in this poem but I think its not okay to say women are better than men...I feel this is too extreme and can prevent total equality for women

Thanks for the comment! I agree-no one is inferior to the other. Everyone is equal. I wanted to show that. :)

I agree with what you said in the song, but only about "some" guys. Don't let the minority of guys get to you. You can always tell a good guy because they are probably the one's that don't get along with the guys portrayed in your song.

haha I agree with Josh and you other user. I think some guys have an annoying ego, but not all guys are that way. This is a heated subject, eh?

thank you! :) My hope is to become published-have my own book, ya know? Ha, I wrote this after an argument with my brother. And of course I respond to everyone! I wouldn't be in the position I am in with the rankings if the people who rated/voted for my song hadn't done so! So I like to thank people. So thank you :)

and sure, I'll check your work!

Right! She was an admirable person. Also, Soujorner Truth! I'm glad you mentioned Harriet Tubman :)
