Little Girls
Cameron Diaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ha ha ha ha ha
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ugh
Little girls, little girls
Night and day, I eat, sleep, and breathe them
Get out of here
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
I should be anywhere but here
On the planes, on the stage or on TV
But I find myself here at the Snot House
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me, I'm serious
Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking
Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped through the cracks
And now I'm stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Get me out, get me out of here (not kidding around)
I'm ready for stardom after all these years
I'm done with little girls
I wanna be someone in this world
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ugh
Little girls, little girls
Night and day, I eat, sleep and breathe them
Get out of here
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Yes, I wanna tear my hair out
I should be famous and part of history
But I find myself here at the Snot House
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me, I'm serious
Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking
Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped through the cracks
And now I'm stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Oh get me out, get me out of here
(Oh, throw me a rope)
I'm ready for stardom after all these years
I'm done with little girls
I wanna be someone in this world
Little girls, little girls
(Hee hee hee hee hee)
Ugh
The song "Little Girls" by Cameron Diaz has a dark but humorous tone. Diaz's frustration with dealing with young girls is clear from the chorus: "Little girls, little girls. Everywhere I turn I can see them. Night and day, I eat, sleep and breathe them." She continues to express her dissatisfaction with her current state, wishing she was somewhere else, "on the planes, on the stage or on TV." The chorus ends with the artist practically begging for a way out of her situation, "Get out of here. Please kill me, I'm serious. Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking."
The verses paint a picture of a trapped individual who has slipped through the cracks and can't seem to find her way out of her predicament. She feels she is locked in a cage with all the rats, and is stuck with the scraps. However, she hasn't lost her ambition and continues to say that she is ready for stardom after all these years.
The song seems to be an ironic take on the idea of being a celebrity, and how it isn't always as glamorous as it seems. Diaz may be expressing her frustration that, even though she is a successful actress, she is still stuck dealing with the "little girls" of Hollywood.
