The band started when James Roche heard Doko singing at a pub in Melbourne. Many of their songs are depictions of life as a young single female, though ironically the lyrics are penned by Roche.
They won ARIA Awards in 1998 and 1999.
The band split after the release of their scond album proved less than successful. Tania is now trying to resurrect her career with a new band whilst James has gone into music production.

I'm Just A Girl
Bachelor Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might feel Little
Put serns In my hair
I might need comfort
More than my share
I might seem to follow fashion
The cling that I don't care
When it pulls my hair
I might want to talk a lot
Don't ask me why
And I'll get impatient
If you don't reply
I might always search for something wrong
I want you to deny
And if you love me just stay close
And hold me when I cry
Don't try to understand me
I'm just a girl
Won't hold the greatest mysteries you'll find in this world
I'm not hard to handle
I'm just a girl
I'm just girl
I don't seek money
But I want your time
Cause id live my life for you
Where you are mine
And it hurts me more than I can say
When you pulled away
But if you love me
You should tell me everyday
Don't try to understand me
I'm just a girl
Won't hold the greatest mysteries you'll find in this world
I'm not hard to handle
I'm just a girl
I'm just girl
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
You don't think I'm 2 to many
That your just not understanding
No
I might like to take advice
But your my own way
Its when I hurt the most
Is where I'm ok
And its always when you least expect
I say I want to stay
Well I suggest I sing your kiss
To steal my heart away
Don't try to understand me
I'm just a girl
Won't hold the greatest mysteries you'll find in this world
You think I'm your x file
I'm just a girl
I'm just girl
Don't try to understand me
I'm just a girl
Won't hold the greatest mysteries you'll find in this world
I'm not hard to handle
I'm just a girl
I'm just girl
Ya I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
The lyrics to Bachelor Girl's "I'm Just A Girl" convey a sense of simple humanity and vulnerability in the face of everyday life. The singer is a self-described girl who doesn't understand herself completely and doesn't necessarily believe that anyone else could, either. She admits to feeling little at times, to wanting attention and comfort, to following fashion without seeming to care, and to being impatient and eager to talk. However, she also recognizes her own strengths and passions; her heart is her best friend, and she doesn't seek material things like money, just the time and devotion of her partner.
Despite all of this, the singer cautions against trying to understand her too deeply. She is a mystery, but one that shouldn't be too difficult to handle. She recognizes that she may seem like an X-File to some, but ultimately she is just a girl, and that should be enough. The song speaks to the universality of human experience, and the way that we can all feel lost or unsure at times, even while trying our best to find our way.
Overall, "I'm Just A Girl" is a heartfelt and relatable song that speaks to the struggles of being human. It conveys a sense of vulnerability and honesty that is refreshing in a world that often prizes toughness and detachment. The singer recognizes that she is not perfect, but she is still deserving of love and understanding, just like everyone else.

This video was included as a bonus feature on the CD single. This clip was filmed at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport in Australia. I was living in Melbourne at the time and remember a call out for extras to feature in this video clip.

Oh thought it was filmed at a disused Ansett building - maybe part of Tullamarine

I never heard of this song but this is definitely close to 90's-early 2000's. :))
