Story Behind The Song

I was touring on the road for a couple months living out of a suitcase and going thru a moody time. There are days where everything feels right and other days when you feel like you're starting over again. That's how I was feeling at the time.

Song Description

A girl living through the positive and negative aspects of her life and accepting herself for who she is as a person.

Lyrics

I AM ONLY A GIRL
(Lamoureux/Macpherson/Doane)

I am discouraged
I have a fear
I can hide in a room for a year

I?ve got the brains
I?ve got the guts
I?m a shooter when it comes to my looks

Then I?m up and down
Then I?m all around
I?m your friend one minute and I?m off in the next

I?m up and down
I?m all around
I?ve got a moody reflex

Chorus:

I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something?s got me trapped inside

I?m like a man
I take a stand
I don?t care what anybody thinks

I?ve got the means
I do the work
I bury all my feelings in the dirt

Then the tricky part crushes my thin heart
I?m afraid one minute and I lose in the next

The tricky part crushes a delicate spot
I?ve got a moody reflex

Chorus

Oh?.
I like me the way I?m made up yeah
I?m not gonna change my way
I like it, I like it
I am only a girl who suffers too
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I am only a girl who?s brave and true
I am only a girl in the world
