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

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;Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.&quot; - Thoreau<br /> &quot;Sometimes you&#039;re flush and sometimes you&#039;re bust, and when you&#039;re up, it&#039;s never as good as it seems, and when you&#039;re down, you never think you&#039;ll be up again, but life goes on.&quot;

This is really good, and I can see your point, you got it through with much clarity. Also, as a guy, I know us guys are always putting you girls down, which I hate. I wish we could treat you as equals and not treat you as secondhand people, like your nothing. Anyways, really great piece, I'm totally speechless! Oh, and if you want you can read some of my pieces.

...not really! Guys have the tendincy to think that a girl can't think for herself! This song proves differently(:

I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of this song, it was a very good example that men are not always in control in a relationship. I was happy with the fact that someone was confident enough to write a song explaining this to others. Because many people underestimate the ability a girl may have.

I like the song lyrics. The only downfall is I think the words "never underestimate a girl" are repeated too much. After reading the lyrics all I really remember are those lyrics and not the information in between.

I understand the message you are trying to get across, good job with clarity. Only suggestion would be to use more refined vocabulary to attain the desired effect. Overall, solid effort. Looking forward to hearing this on the radio! Good job, keep it up! Please consider checking out my work.

i think this song is really totally amazing. So many parts in the world where men are in control, but women are just as if not more powerful. The world wouldn't be here without us.

Great song, it's tone has a firm attitude. Its easy to relate to because of the fact that females abilities are ALWAYS underestimated .

I agree; feminism should promote that idea that "women are people," not "women are better people."
