I don’t want a baby
And I don’t want to get married.
And I don’t want a house
Made out of stucco.
Maybe someday I will
But til that day comes I still
Know I don’t want a baby.
'Cause I don’t want to be….
That girl who falls in love
Makin’ sacrafices with no pay off.
All for a boy who just turns over when he’s done
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
I don’t want a husband
‘Cause I don’t want to love him
And lose my only sense of sanity.
And maybe someday I will.
But til that day comes I still
Know I don’t want a husband
‘Cause I don’t wanna be.
That girl who loses herself
Putting all her dreams on the highest shelf
Doing everything for everyone else
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
And if I have offended you
I’m sorry but it’s still the truth
'Cause I’m not ready for that life
He wanted to make me his wife
And I almost gave it all to him
But then he let me go,
And I was
That girl who lost herself
Putting all her dreams on the highest shelf
All for a boy who just turns over when he's done
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
(Music interlude)
‘Cause I just want to be me
And if he cannot see me
Then I don’t want to give him
Everything.
