Lyrics
YOU?LL NEVER SEE ME CATCH A BIG BOLT OF LIGHTNING.
FIGHT A MONSTER DEEP IN THE SEA.
I?M NOT THE TYPE THAT BEASTS OR BULLIES FIND FRIGHT?NING.
TRUTH IS THAT THEY TERRIFY ME
BUT IN SOME THINGS I?VE GOT THE POWER,
IN SMALL THINGS I?VE GOT SOME STRENGTH,
SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE TOWN AT NIGHT,
NEED SOMEBODY WHO COULD HOLD THE LIGHT,
GUARANTEE YOUR GARDEN?S WATERED RIGHT,
I?M YOUR GIRL!
I?M NOT A KID A KING WOULD THINK WAS ALARMING.
COULDN?T CHANGE THE WAY THINGS WILL BE.
I?D NEVER HOPE TO CURE THE WORLD THAT IS STARVING.
I CAN BARELY EVEN FEED ME.
BUT IN SOME THINGS I?VE GOT THE POWER,
IN SMALL THINGS I?VE GOT SOME STRENGTH,
SO IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HAUL YOUR LOAD,
KEEP YOU COMPANY OUT ON THE ROAD,
GET YOUR ROW OF FIG TREES PRUNED AND HOED,
I?M YOUR GIRL!
BUT IN SOME THINGS I?VE GOT THE POWER,
IN SMALL THINGS I?VE GOT SOME STRENGTH,
SO IF YOU WANT ME TO FORGET THE PAST,
HAVE TO SEND AN URGENT MESSAGE FAST,
IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO FIX YOUR MEALS,
WIPE THE DUST AND GRIME OFFOF YOUR WHEELS,
FETCH YOU WATER FROM THE WELL TO DRINK,
CLEAN YOUR PALACE UP BEFORE YOU BLINK,
STAIGHTEN UP YOUR HUSBAND?S HEAP OF TOOLS,
SHOW YOU WHERE TO BUY A HERD OF MULES,
I?M YOUR GIRL!
