I'm that girl you think that's got it figured out
But I walk around with a head full of doubt
The cruelest words about me
Come from my own mouth
La da de, la de da
Yeah, I'm that girl who wants what I ain't got
Who looks in the mirror, and sees all that I'm not
Wish I could jump off this reckless train of thought
La da de, la de da
Well, it's a cruel, cruel world
For Carly and her golden homecoming crown
For Penny's dirty secret getting spread all over town
For Hannah and her skinny jeans, so damn scared to eat
Well, the DJ haunts the halls
And the boys, they never call
And I guess we're all the same after all
Nervous girls
Well, I'm that girl who gave my heart up
Got close to picture perfect or at least close enough
To watch the pieces scatter, then pick 'em all up
La da de, la de da
Oh, but I still believe in love
For Heather waiting tables, tryna pick up from the past
For Jenny with that diamond ring and a vow that didn't last
For Alice turning 30, looking through that looking glass
Well, the DJ haunts the halls
And the boys, they never call
And I guess we're all the same after all
Nervous girls, yeah
♪
I'm scared and I'm brave, or somewhere between the two
I'm beautifully strong, and tragically confused
Yeah, I'm that girl that's just like you
Well, the DJ haunts the halls
And when the boys finally call
We're not sure that we want 'em after all, yeah
Nervous girls, nervous girls
Nervous girls, yeah
Nervous girls
