Fight Like a Girl

Little girl alone on the playground Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around Wishin' she was invisible to them She ran home cryin' "Why do they hate me?" And mama wiped the tears and said "Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful So, hold your head high Don't ever let 'em define The light in your eyes Love yourself, give 'em hell You can take on this world You just stand and be strong And then fight like a girl" At 31, she was wheelin' and dealin' Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin' She was never gonna be one of the boys, no She coulda gave up on her ambitions And spent the rest of her life just wishin' Instead, she listened to her mama's voice, sayin' "Hold your head high Don't ever let 'em define The light in your eyes Love yourself, give 'em hell You can take on this world You just stand and be strong And then fight like a girl" Whoa, with style and grace Kick ass and take names Ten years of climbin' that ladder Ooh, but money and power don't matter When the doctor said, "The cancer spread" She holds on tight to her husband and babies And says, "This is just another test God gave me And I know just how to handle this I'll hold my head high I'll never let this define The light in my eyes Love myself, give it hell I'll take on this world Yes, I'll stand and be strong No, I'll never give up I will conquer with love And I'll fight like a girl", ooh (yeah)
