Girls Just Wanna Have Fun/
Miley Cyrus 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
And 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 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
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
(Girls, they wanna, wanna have fun, girls, wanna have)
(They just want, they just want)
(They just want, they just want)

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)

When the working, when the working
When the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh girls they wanna have fun
They wanna have fun

(Girls they wanna, wanna have fun) Girls
(Girls, wanna have)

(Girls they wanna, wanna have fun) they want to have
(Girls just want to have fun)




(Girls, wanna have) oh girls
Oh yeah
