Oh, a little more lipstick, baby, yeah
A little more knowledge, baby, yeah
Now give it to me, oh

They don't know what's going on in my mind
They just don't want me to drive late at night, yeah
They don't know what it means to be a girl
What it means to be on enemy shores

They ain't ready for this pink youth
We come up to fight
Like diamonds shining in the sky
Girls like you and I
Girls like you and I

Ooh, if ya feeling it, get down
You shouldn't be worrying 'bout who to impress now
Everything's a headache, and it's leaving you stressed out
You're real low, feeling like your life is a mess now
I'm probably the reason you ain't living for yourself
We found love in a place that don't sell it with no help
Give me space, no credit, I don't need it
Life goes and oh, well my soul reflects gold
Don't try to let go
I give it easy to you, living intense flow
This is real shit, ain't nothing to mess with
I'm just tryna give you something here to connect with
And that's my duty, this is not to suit me
Every day's a scene and my life's a movie
I came to be the best version of me
So everybody could see who I am, really and truly
It's, oh

Don't worry if I'm losing my sleep, yeah
Awake and I don't wanna miss a thing, yeah, oh
They don't know what it means to be a girl
To live in a dangerous world

They ain't ready for this pink youth
We come up to fight
Like diamonds shining in the sky
Girls like you and I
Don't you know that you and I can take it higher
You know that they ain't ready
Know that they ain't ready for us
Yeah, oh

And if you're gonna say I'm going nowhere (oh)
Just gimme a second and I'll find my way to make sure I get there (oh, oh yeah)
'Cause I'm not playing safe
And I don't think you have a clue (ooh)
What I can do, yeah, yeah, oh
Hey, a little more lipstick, baby, yeah
A little more knowledge, baby, oh
Now give it to me

They ain't ready for this pink youth
We come up to fight
Like diamonds shining in the sky
Girls like you and I
