"Jealous Of The Boys" lyrics

"Jealous Of The Boys"

When I was younger I wanted to be Superman
Tie a cape to my back and fly around as fast as I can
I could hear the kids laughing as soon as I left the room
And I found out the hard way that's not what the other girls do

Cause he made it looks so easy
The way he saved the world
And got all of the attention of every pretty girl
I would have a different body
If only God gave me the choice
But I've always been jealous of the boys

When I was in high school, had crushes on some of my friends
They'd ask my advice about all of their shitty boyfriends
And she'd take him back after every dramatic fight
But if I was her man
I swear I would've treated her right

Cause he made it looks so easy
The way he walked through world
Breaking all the fragile hearts of every pretty girl
I would have a different body
If only God gave me the choice
But I've always been jealous of the boys

Walking her home and she's getting cat-called from the street
So I spring into action just like a bull dog off the leash
She reigns me in and tells me to just let it go
Hold your head high and don't ever let your weakness show

Cause he makes it looks so easy
Having power in this world
And he's never had to hold his keys or keep his knuckles curled
I would have a different body
If only god gave me the choice
But I've always been jealous of the boys
