[Verse 1]
When you see the trees bend
And when you see the trees bend
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
I try to resist...
[Chorus 1]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband pony tails
I could learn to twang like a rubber band
I'd be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Verse 2]
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I wanna land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
[Chorus 2]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold my trousers up
A rubberband pony tails
I wanna learn to twang like a rubberband
And be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Interlude]
[Outro]
A rubberband bend the beat back
A rubberband bend the beat back
I wanna snap like a rubberband
I wanna twang like a rubberband
A rubberband girl, me
When you see the trees bend
And when you see the trees bend
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
I try to resist...
[Chorus 1]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband pony tails
I could learn to twang like a rubber band
I'd be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Verse 2]
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I wanna land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
[Chorus 2]
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the bend
If I could learn to give like a rubber band
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold my trousers up
A rubberband pony tails
I wanna learn to twang like a rubberband
And be a rubberband girl
[Post-Chorus]
A rubberband girl, me
A rubberband girl, me
I wanna be a rubberband girl
[Interlude]
[Outro]
A rubberband bend the beat back
A rubberband bend the beat back
I wanna snap like a rubberband
I wanna twang like a rubberband
A rubberband girl, me
