Lyrica Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I told you I might let you get it, you ain't get the joke, right?
I might break your wallet before you can break my heart
I'ma show it out, baby, make 'em all tired
Girls wanna play, girls wanna play
But I get bad, baby, when I feel safe
Tell me, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Tell me, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Who said I can't get nasty, crazy, freaky?
Baby, I've been working lately, overtime
And I just need somе time to lose my mind
Babe, who said my bitchеs can't ride out
Slide out, top down, hop out, take your nigga then ride out?
Who said I gotta follow rules?
Who said I gotta fuck with you?
Yeah, who said I can't have my own party?
Who said I can't freak with somebody?
Who said just 'cause I wanted sex
That make me a hoe 'cause the way I dress?
Tell me, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Tell me, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun?
If I wanna do that, I can
If I wanna cut deeper, I can
If I wanna be single, I can
If I wanna go and mingle
I-I-I won't ask for no forgiveness
I won't ask for no permission
I just take my sins and my secrets to the grave
Baby, I been feeling I get back that way
Sometimes I get lonely 'cause I be wanting you to hold me
But tonight ain't one of them nights
Tonight ain't one of them nights, I'm good
I be thinkin' in my mind
Would you get mad if you knew the real me?
But then I come to my senses, like
Tell me, yeah, who said girls can't have fun? (Who said girls can't?)
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun? (Ooh)
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun? (Oh, who said?)
Tell me, who said girls can't have fun? (Ooh)
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun? (Yeah, yeah)
Who say, yeah, who said girls can't have fun? (Ooh-oh)
