If I Were a Girl
Dave Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd roll out of bed in the morning and wonder what just happened to me.
Oh no don't tell me they're real.
Yeah I think they're real.
Something else is missing
Where the heck's my pen15?
If I were a girl would I still look like a guy?
If I were a girl I could mess with the guys.
No, no not like that I mean
When we get a nice dinner I'll make sure they buy.
I could seduce them.
Show them my nice behind.
Yo Zach check out that a...OMG
Ha gotcha. You totally like guys!
If I were a girl I'd have the nicest legs.
I refuse to cook in the kitchen but I'm pretty dang good with the microwave.
If I were a girl please don't get mad if I'm mean.
I'm not used to my body this monthly thing is kinda new to me.
No I don't really know if I want to change back.
Because I like my new hair and the guys love my
Face, what?
Oh if I were a girl I don't think I'd ever understand
How it feels to be a girl.
God please change me back to a man!
If I were a girl
The lyrics to Dave Day's song "If I Were a Girl" are about a guy who imagines what it would be like to be a girl for a day. He first comments on the shock of having breasts and the confusion of whether they are real or not, then laments the fact that something else is missing and wonders where his "pen15" (penis) is. He also wonders if he would look like a guy if he were a girl, but admits he might want to try wearing a bra. He then jokes about messing with guys and getting them to buy her dinner, but remembers that she would have to deal with her monthly period. Finally, he concludes that he likes his new hair and the attention it brings him, but ultimately wishes he could change back to being a man.
The song can be seen as a commentary on gender boundaries and stereotypes. It highlights the differences between how women are expected to act versus men and the confusion and curiosity that comes with imagining oneself in a different gender. The lyrics also touch on societal expectations around beauty standards and relationships with the opposite sex.
