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 wanna have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun (girls, they wanna, wanna have fun, girls wanna have)
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
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun (girls, they wanna, wanna have fun, girls wanna have)
They just wanna, they just wanna (girls)
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girl (girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just wanna have fun
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna (girls)
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girl (girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just want to have fun
When the working
When the working day is done
Oh when the working day is done, oh girls
Girls, they wanna have fun, everybody
They just wanna, they just wanna (girls)
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girls (girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just want to have fun
when the working
When the working day is done (they just wanna, they just wanna)
Oh when the working day is done, oh girl (girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just wanna have fun (they just wanna, they just wanna)
Kylie Frey's rendition of the hit song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" speaks of the age-old idea of freedom and the struggle to attain it. The lyrics start with the singer coming home early in the morning, and her mother asking her when she will start living life right. In response, the singer states that they are not the "fortunate ones" to live a sheltered life. They then express the sentiment of girls just wanting to have fun, which is the core of the song.
The song's second stanza sees the phone ringing in the middle of the night, and the singer's father yelling at her, demanding to know what she is going to do with her life. She acknowledges her father's importance but reiterates that girls just want to have fun. The third and final stanza sees the singer expressing her strong desire to be the one who basks in the sun, just living life for the fun of it. The chorus is a continuation of the idea that all girls want is to have fun and that it is what they deserve after a tough day's work.
The song's main theme is the feminist idea of women deserving freedom just like men, and that they should be allowed to let off steam and have fun. It is a call to embrace life and enjoy it, irrespective of societal expectations. Despite the song's popular upbeat and carefree tone, Kylie Frey's version successfully manages to convey its core message of the need for women to be allowed autonomy and freedom.
