"Dear Girls" lyrics

Word spreads like wildfires across my school
If you're not pretty or popular, then you're automatically not cool
And I see how everybody acts like someone's their best friend
Until minutes pass and you're hearing the gossip all over again

I see the girls walk in the hallways and judge as they see
Someone who may not be as popular, who stays true to their beliefs
It must be exhausting getting up in others business
When it's not even your own why don't you sit back and zip it

What I don't understand is why girls can't be happy for another
Life shouldn't be a competition of who's better
Can't stop worrying about the likes or obsessing
Over somebody you just can't be like
And everybody's different, and I know some girls who need to hear it

I see the girls walk in the hallways and judge as they see
Someone who may not be as popular, who stays true to their beliefs
It must be exhausting getting up in others business
When it's not even your own why don't you sit back and zip it
