[Verse 1]
Any chance you get to play the worn-out pity card
Any opportunity to push my buttons hard
It's gettin' old, your "Poor me" thoughts
Believe me, boy, when I say "So what?"
This broken record thing has got to stop
I'm losing interest in your pillow talk

[Pre-Chorus]
And oooh, it's not looking good
And oooh, I'm not in the mood
And oooh, I can't get through
To you, you

[Chorus]
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it, and now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it, you're such a girl about it

[Verse 2]
Now you're up in arms because I say we're not working out
You wonder if I loved you from the start, well, I'll tell you what
I knew a guy who changed my world
And then he grew into a little girl
This metamorphosis is just too much
You're crossing lines that I just can't let go of

[Pre-Chorus]
And oooh, it's not looking good
And oooh, I'm not in the mood
And oooh, I can't get through
To you, you

[Chorus]
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it, and now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it, you're such a girl about it

[Interlude]
And oooh, I'm sleeping with the enemy, oh-oh
And oooh, I'm counting sheep while you're in love
(While you're in love)

[Bridge]
I guess it's true that love can grow in different directions
I chose the high road and you chose to be a girl
Well, I know you're mad at me now
And it's all my fault somehow
Here comes my favorite part
You're so misunderstood

[Pre-Chorus]
And oooh, it's not looking good
And oooh, I'm not in the mood
And oooh, I can't get through
To you, you

[Chorus]
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I didn't say yes
Don't be a girl about it, 'cause I wouldn't pretend
Don't be a girl about it, and now you're whining again
Don't be a girl about it, you're such a girl about it

[Interlude]
And oooh, I'm sleeping with the enemy, oh-oh
And oooh, I'm counting sheep while you're in love (You're in love)

[Outro]
You're such a girl about it
Don't be a girl about it

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
