Girls Just Want to Have Fun
STRFKR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says when you gonna live your life right?
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life?
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done, oh
Girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Girls, they want
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 want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Girls, they want
Wanna have fun
Girls
Wanna have
They just wanna
They just wanna
The song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by STRFKR is a remake of the popular 1983 hit by Cyndi Lauper. The lyrics depict a young woman's desire to live her life on her own terms and have fun despite the criticisms and expectations of her parents and society. The first verse depicts the singer coming home in the morning after a night out, to face her mother's judgment and question of when she will start living "right". The singer defends herself and says that she is not one of the "fortunate ones", and that girls just want to have fun, implying that she wants to enjoy her youth and freedom. In the second verse, the singer receives a phone call from her father in the middle of the night, questioning her plans for her future, but she brushes it off with the same response that girls just want to have fun.
The pre-chorus of the song emphasizes that all the girls really want is to have fun, especially after a long day of work or trying to meet societal expectations. The chorus emphasizes this desire even further, with the repetition of the line "Girls they want to have fun" and the use of the word "just" to emphasize that this is a simple desire that should not be denied. The bridge of the song brings in the theme of sexism, with the singer noting how some boys lock away beautiful girls for their own exclusive enjoyment. She counters this by saying that she wants to be the one who walks in the sunlight and has fun, again emphasizing her desire for freedom and fun.
Overall, STRFKR's version of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" emphasizes the song's message of female empowerment and the desire for young women to have fun and live their lives on their own terms.
