My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
That's all they really want
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
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun

I want to be the one to walk in the sun
When the working day is done

The song Girls Just Want To Have Fun by The Maine ft. Adam Lazzara is a cover of the original song by Cyndi Lauper. The song's lyrics tell a story about a young woman who wants to have fun and live her life, but she is constantly met with criticism and disapproval from her mother and father. The song highlights society's expectations of women and how they are often not allowed to enjoy their lives without judgment.
The first verse begins with the singer coming home in the morning light, and her mother questioning when she will start living her life right. The singer responds by pointing out that she and other women are not the fortunate ones, meaning they are not afforded the same opportunities and freedoms as men. The chorus states that all girls really want is to have fun, showing that they are not asking for much, just to be able to enjoy themselves.
The second verse has the singer's father asking what she plans to do with her life, and the singer responds that she wants to have fun. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that all girls really want is to have fun. The final line of the song talks about walking in the sun when the working day is done, indicating that the singer wants to live a life full of enjoyment and freedom.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the societal expectations and limitations placed on women, particularly in the 1980s when the original song was written. The Maine's cover adds a more rock-oriented sound to the song but keeps the same message and meaning as the original.

This is probably my favorite pgp cover. It feels genuine and it's relatable. Also the part when he sings, "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," always gets me. It sounds amazing and it's extremely true.
