Well, the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
I used to win all the arguments

when she felt inferior
G#
But now the girl says yes when she means yes
C#
the girl says no when she means no
G# Fm
the girl stands up to me now
D# G#
more than she did before
G#
Well, now when she says no
it comes out smooth as silk
she don't act like no bad breakfast cereal
C# D#
waiting to wilt in the milk
G#
Because, the girl says yes when she means yes
C#
the girl says no when she means no
G# Fm
the girl stands up to me now
G#
more than she did before
G#
When she says no to me
It's just like the umpire's call
It's strike strike strike three buddy
C# D#

G#
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
C#
the girl says no when she means no
G# Fm
the girl stands up to me now

Well, the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
I used to win all the arguments
when she felt inferior
But now the girl says yes when she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
Well, now when she says no
it comes out smooth as silk
she don't act like no bad breakfast cereal
waiting to wilt in the milk
Because, the girl says yes when she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
When she says no to me
It's just like the umpire's call
It's strike strike strike three buddy
and ball ball ball
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
When she first said no
ooh, that was rough
well now, I think I like her better
tough tough tough
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
more than she did before
(hi everybody, welcome to ???)
Well now, the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
I used to win all the arguments
when she felt inferior
But now the girl says yes when a she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
when she says no
well it comes out smooth as silk
she don't act like bad breakfast cereal
waiting to wilt in the milk
cause, the girl says yes when a she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
and the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
When the first time she said no
ooh, that was rough
but now I think I like her better
tough tough tough
the girl says yes when she means yes
the girl says no when she means no
and the girl stands up to me now
more than she did before
oh, more than she did before
