If I Had A Girl Lyrics - The Sound And The Fury - Nerina Pallot

I'm a rock, I'm an island 

Don't need no-one to love me 

At the end of the world 

There'll be no man above me 

I work the live-long day 

To do things my way 

But if I had a girl 

I would tell her this 

Oh, your no means no 

But your skirt comes into question 

That you asked for it 

Will be the main suggestion 

You'll work the live-long day 

To take home half the pay 

So if I had a girl 

I would tell her this 

You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster 

Don't take no shit off your lord and master 

Don't listen when they see how far you've come 

'Cos you go and work and you raise the babies 

Then you work some more, now listen ladies 

If you think we're done, we've only just begun.... 

Well, you go to school 

And they tell you that you're equal 

But in the big wide world 

That just means half the people 

And one thing you won't see 

There ain't no dicks on page 3 

So if you have a girl 

Please remind her of this
