Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello I, hello I, hello I
Hello I, hello I, hello I
Hello I am, hello I am, hello I am
You have no TV, just had my mind to keep me company
Lost in my thoughts, never thought about my destiny
My role models are from novels
Oh, and you'll never know that I′m emotional
'Cause I'll always make you laugh, even when I′m miserable
But really, I′m okay, so please don't sell me on your faith
Just have faith I′ll finally figure out all my shit one day
You wanna know who I am (You wanna know who I am)
I'm just some girl (I′m just some girl)
With blood on my hands (With blood on my hands)
From trying to love the world (From trying to love the world)
You wanna know where I'm from (You wanna know where I′m from)
I'll tell you where I've been (I′ll tell you where I′ve been)
From Heaven to every sin (From Heaven to every sin)
And I'd do it all over again (And I′d do it all over again)
Oh, so you wanna know?
Do you wanna know? Do you wanna?
So you wanna know?
Then I'll let you know
Hello I am, hello I am, hello I am
Hello I am, hello I am, hello I am
I′m just some girl
Hello I am, hello I am, hello I am
I'm just somegirlnamedanna

This played on mtv every day while I was in jail the last two months. You'd never expect an entire cellblock of full grown men to sing this. But they did
