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

Really like this.  Wish you told us the tune to it.  I like how it doesn't even have to be about boy vs. girl, but anyone that thinks they are better just because you are different then them.

This song is perfect to get a message through, especailly to a significant other. When I read this, I thought "Wow, this is an inspiration to all young women because we should all know that noone can control us; including a guy." In fact, its the oppisite. Most people see it, but yet they are afraid to admit that its true. When a guy or just anyone looks at someone, they judge because its human instinct. When a girl is noticed, some men would think "weak, lonely, cant overcome most, etc." This song, tells the readers/singers that noone should be underestimated depended on how they look, how they percieve and approach themselves, etc. Finally, for some humor, girls dominate the world (:

the only thing that's the same is the title. perhaps you should research before you call someone on something that isn't even true

Okay so I definitly love the message, truely. But I do agree with some of the others that this is ALOT like the song Never Underestimate a Girl by Vanessa Hudgens. I'm not saying you copied it, and I am not even sure if you know the song but I do suggest one thing, If a song like hers gives you insperation, and you want to do a song like it, try to not copy alot of the lyrics or the title. Try coming up with something that is your own.

&quot;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot;<br /> &mdash; John Green

I really like these lyrics because other people do judge without even knowing the person and it seems to be most people don't like taking the time of day to get to know someone.
