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....

Hi Lexi!

Firstly, I think you should make an account and get your work on your own profile so people can see it and vote for it!

It's a good song but I wanna tell you something... songs don't always have to rhyme. That song could be so intuitive and easy to relate to but it feels like you spent too much time making it try to rhyme that you took away some of the depth and meaning and emotion behind it. When you write a song, it should come from your heart. You can't rhyme that all the time.

Sunset 17, I didn't even know she had a song called that until a few months ago. But I have researched the song recently, and you will see that it is not the same. They are totally different songs with the same title.

Thank you! I'm only the writer... the strength comes from the girls who actually stand up for themselves :) I'm glad my piece has inspired some people though!

Thank you guys! :) I'm so glad you like my song... I know though-the wait time to get something online is horrible. It's not even guaranteed a spot in the magazine. This wasn't in the mag. Oh well-keep trying, right?

Yeah, I really liked it. It was really really good actually! I do think it was very similar and close to Vanessa Hudegens song Never Underestimate a Girl. But I still liked it. Nice work. You're very talented
