Lyrics

I don't know what I want So don't ask me 'Cause I'm still trying, to figure it out Don't know what's down, this road I'm just walking Trying to see through the rain coming down Even though I'm not the only one, who feels the way I do I'm alone, on my own And that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong Oh, but life goes on Oh, I'm just a girl Trying to find a place in this world Got the radio on, my old blue jeans And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine Could you tell me what more do I need? And tomorrow's just a mystery Oh yeah, but that's okay I'm alone, on my own And that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong Oh, but life goes on Oh, I'm just a girl Trying to find a place, in this world Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission But I'm ready to fly I'm alone, on my own And that's all I know Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong Oh, but life goes on Oh, I'm alone, on my own And that's all I know Oh, I'm just a girl Trying to find a place, in this world Oh, I'm just a girl Oh, I'm just a girl Oh, oh Oh, I'm just a girl
