Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Matute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come home
In the morning light
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 wanna 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
But 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 wanna have
Girls

Wanna have fun

Oh girls

Wanna have fun

Oh Girls

Wanna have fun
Oh 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
Just want to have fun
Oh girls
Just want to have
Girls just wanna have fun
Ohhhhhhh
Girls just wanna have fun
Ohhhhhhh
Girls just wanna have fun
Ohhhhhhh
Girls just wanna have fun
Ohh Ohh Ohh
When the working day is done
Oh Girls
Just wanna have fun
Oh girls
Just wanna have
Oh girls
Just Wanna have fun




Oh girls
Just wanna have fun

Overall Meaning

The song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Matute is an empowering anthem that captures the essence of the 80s, a time when women were fighting to break free from traditional gender roles and push societal boundaries. The song describes the pressures that young women face from their parents and society to conform to their expectations and live a "good" life. However, the singers are having none of it, as they proclaim that their main desire is to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest.


When the chorus comes in with its catchy refrain of "Oh girls, they wanna have fun", it perfectly encapsulates the yearning of young women everywhere to let loose, be themselves, and explore all that life has to offer. The song acknowledges the world's obstacles and limitations that may threaten to hold women back but also emphasizes their resilience and is a testament to their determination to break free and live a life that is authentic to them.


In the end, the song is an anthem of rebellion and self-discovery, proclaiming that women are not just objects to be hidden away and kept under tight control, but rather, they are capable of living exciting and fulfilling lives full of joy and fun.
