Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Trick Or Treat 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, mommy 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 doctor yells
"What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh, doctor dear, you know
You're still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have

That's all we really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have...

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 wanna 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
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun

Girls, they wanna
They 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
They 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Trick or Treat is an anthem for young women who want to live their lives without any societal judgment. The first verse begins with the singer coming home in the morning light and being interrogated by her mother about when she is going to live her life "right." However, the singer believes that societal norms are not on their side as they are not "fortunate ones." They understand that girls just want to have fun, and that's what they will do. The chorus repeats the phrase, "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."


The second verse addresses the societal pressure from the medical field. The singer receives a phone call in the middle of the night from her doctor, who asks what she plans on doing with her life. Although the doctor may be at the top of their professional field, the singer still believes that girls just want to have fun.


The third verse speaks about a common issue of young women being hidden away by men. The singer wants to be the one to walk in the sun instead of being hidden away by a man. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with "Oh, when the working day is done, oh girls, they wanna have fun, they wanna have fun."
