Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says, "when you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mother dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "what you gonna do with your life?"
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
(Fun)
Girls, they wanna have fun
Girls, they wanna have fun
Girls, they wanna have fun
Girls
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
And girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
(Fun, girls)
Just wanna (wanna have fun) they just wanna
(Girls)
Just wanna (wanna have fun) they just wanna
(Girls)
Just wanna (wanna have fun) they just wanna
(Girls)
Just wanna (wanna have fun)
They just wanna, just wanna
(Wanna have fun)
They just wanna, just wanna
(Wanna have fun)
Gabrielle Aplin's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is a cover of the classic hit song by Cyndi Lauper. The song reflects the desires of young women who want to have the same freedoms and fun as their male counterparts. Aplin's version is slower and more acoustic than the original, but the lyrics remain the same.
The first verse starts with the singer coming home in the morning light after staying out all night having fun. Her mother scolds her and asks when she will live her life right, implying that living a wild and carefree life is not the correct way to live. However, the singer disagrees and argues that girls just want to have fun. The second verse follows a similar theme, with the singer's father questioning her life choices. The chorus is a repetitive affirmation that girls just want to have fun after a long day's work. The song ends with the statement that girls just want to be able to walk in the sun, free from societal expectations and limitations.
