Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Russian Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says
"When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mommy, dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
The phone rings
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 fun
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun
Oh, girls
That's all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
Girls, girls just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun
Russian Red's rendition of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is a slow, melancholic version of the classic Cyndi Lauper song. The song tells the story of a young girl who wants to have fun, but her mother is telling her to live her life right, suggesting that partying and having fun is not the proper way to live. This theme is reiterated when the girl's father scolds her and asks her what she's going to do with her life. Despite their concerns, the girl claims that all she wants is some fun, like any other girl, and that's all there is to it.
The lyrics are an expression of youthful exuberance and a desire for freedom, but they also reflect the expectations and limitations imposed on young women by society. The idea that girls just want to have fun may seem trite, but it is a powerful message of liberation and empowerment, especially for women. The song speaks to a generation of women who have been told to conform to conventionally accepted roles and behaviors, and it reclaims the right for young women to enjoy themselves and live their lives on their own terms.
Overall, Russian Red's cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is a poignant and thought-provoking rendition that highlights the complexity of the song's message. It reminds us that even seemingly simple lyrics can have profound meaning, and it encourages us to challenge the cultural expectations and norms that limit our freedom and creativity.
