Don&#039;t let anybody tell you who you are; don&#039;t let anyone tell you that you don&#039;t deserve what you&#039;re willing to work for. <br /> Never give up; you\&#039;ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.

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

That's amazing! You should totally make music for it and post it on YouTube. I think it would be a great song! :).

Awesome use of Disney characters! Usually people see it as weak and cheesy but the point made here was all girl power. The beginning was a little awkward but got better! Careful not to accidently copy lines from other songs! Vanessa Hudgens wrote a song years ago called Never Underestimate A Girl and this chorus is eerily similar.

I think that your concept was amazing, but the words a a little awkward. You tried to mix poetic justice with modern lingo, and still make the rhyme pattern work, and it didn't. "..can control you with her finger/ so don't dare to long to linger.." is an example. the poetic shape of the second line just doesn't sit well with the casual modern shape of the first line. I understand that you wanted to keep up the rhyme scheme, but sometimes songs don't rhyme all the way through for a reason. I really don't mean to be harsh and I love your concept, but, personally, its awkward. Just think about the fact that it doesnt always need to rhyme. Happy Writing to you!! :D
