Miss Jess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some say we're better off staying daddy's little girls
Some say, some say, some say
Some say we're only about those diamonds and pearls
But I'm here to tell ya these tracks gonna bring us the world
I say, I say, I say, I say
Not gonna walk on thin ice
You can say whatever you like
But girls do what girls do
Not gonna do what you want
You keep thinkin' I will but I won't
Stop thinking I do when I don't
'Cause girls do what girls do
You say you really don't like the clothes that I wear
Too little too short too tight, do you think that I care
You say, you say, you say, you say
Not gonna walk on thin ice
When you tell me I'm wrong and you're right
You can say whatever you like
But girls do what girls do
Not gonna do what you want
You keep thinkin' I will but I won't
Stop thinking I do when I don't
'Cause girls do what girls do
Some say, some say, some say, yeah
Some say, some say, some say, yeah
Miss Jess, press this
Some say, some edit it, some edit it
Not gonna walk on thin ice
When you tell me I'm wrong and you're right
You can say whatever you like
But girls do what girls do
Not gonna do what you want
You keep thinkin' I will but I won't
Stop thinking I do when I don't
'Cause girls do what girls do
Not gonna walk on thin ice
When you tell me I'm wrong and you're right
You can say whatever you like
Girls do what girls do
Not gonna do what you want
You keep thinkin' I will but I won't
Stop thinking I do when I don't
Girls do what girls do
That's what some say
The song "Some Say" by Miss Jess is about female empowerment and rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The lyrics talk about how some people try to limit girls and women by saying they should act a certain way or dress a certain way. The singer is pushing back against these expectations and saying that girls should be allowed to do what they want, regardless of what others say.
The chorus repeats the message that girls will do what girls do, and that means not conforming to others' expectations. The line "Not gonna walk on thin ice" implies that the singer is aware of the risks and consequences of being a rule-breaker, but is willing to take those risks to assert her independence.
One interesting aspect of the song is its use of repetition. The phrase "some say" is repeated throughout the verses, emphasizing the pressure that society puts on girls to act a certain way. The repetition of the chorus also reinforces the idea that girls will continue to do what they want, regardless of what others say.
Another interesting element is the use of language. The lyrics are full of idiomatic expressions, such as "walk on thin ice" and "diamonds and pearls," which add color and personality to the song. The reference to Miss Jess in the bridge is also intriguing, as it suggests that Miss Jess herself is a rule-breaker and a rebel.
Overall, "Some Say" is a catchy and empowering song that encourages girls to be themselves and not conform to societal expectations and norms.
