Any chance you get to play the worn out pity card
Any opportunity to push my buttons hard
It's getting old, your 'poor me' thoughts
Believe me boy when I say 'so what'
This broken record thing has got to stop
I'm losing interest in your pillow talk
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, it's not looking good
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm not in the mood
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I can't get through
To you ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it
And now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it
You're such a girl about it
Now you're up in arms because I say we're not working out
You wonder if I loved you from the start well I tell you what
I knew a guy who changed my world
And then he grew to a little girl
This metamorphosis is just too much
You're crossing lines that I just can't let go of
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, it's not looking good
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm not in the mood
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I can't get through
To you ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it
And now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it
You're such a girl about it
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm sleeping with the enemy oh, oh (oh no)
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm counting sheep while you're in love (while you're in love)
I guess it's true that love can grow in different directions
I chose the high road and you chose to be a girl
I know you're mad at me now
And it's all my fault somehow
Here comes my favorite part
You're so misunderstood
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, it's not looking good
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm not in the mood
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I can't get through
To you ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it
'Cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it
And now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it
You're such a girl about it
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm sleeping with the enemy oh, oh (oh no)
And ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm counting sheep while you're in love (you're in love)
Don't be a girl about it
