Like the Other Girls
Marina & the Diamonds Lyrics

You think I'm like the other girls,
You assume that I am comparable to every other girl you have ever known or encountered,

You think I'm like the rest.
You suppose I am no different from the norm, conforming to the expectations and tendencies of the masses.

You think I'd like to rule the world,
You believe that I have a deep desire and ambition to possess power and control over the entire planet.

But this is all a test.
However, my actions are just part of my experiment to understand how people react when they assume certain things about me.

Hey! You think you're seeing the future.
You have a presumptuous conception of my goals and aspirations as if they were already set in stone.

Hey! You think the feeling is mutual.
You incorrectly believe that I share your desire or opinion about a situation or circumstance.

You think I'm like the other girls,
You are convinced that I am indistinguishable from every other female, lacking unique qualities or characteristics.

You think I wanna rule the world,
You have the misguided notion that I aspire to achieve global domination and authority.

And this is all a test.
However, everything you know or think you know about me is just part of my experimentation to understand and learn from your assumptions.

Hey! Thinking you want domination.
You are fixated on the idea of possessing control, authority, and power, failing to realize that true power comes from within oneself.

Hey! You're not a teenage sensation.
You are not the object of adoration, attraction, or popularity among young people, particularly teenage girls.

Hey! I'll wipe that sunburn away.
I will help you heal from your emotional pain and distress, much like how one eases the discomfort of a sunburn.

Hey! Won't give a fuck what you say.
I will not let your negative opinions, judgments, or criticisms influence my thoughts, feelings, or actions.
