I'm hiding it all down inside
You think you know the real me
But you really don't, it's not true
I'm not telling anything to you

This girl that you think you know
She is just wishing she can rock and roll
She just wants to be known
She wants to get out and sing

She wants people to know her name
She wants to get out and be seen
She wants to have her own style
She wants to live a little wild

Chorus:
This girl that you see
She's not really me
This girl that you think I am
She's been fooling you all this time
Just think, it; s been obvious
My life changed in an instant
I don't need you to be who I am
This girl you see
She lives her own life

[[Verse 2]]
She wants to be respected
She wants you to understand
She won't take it out of hand
You won't stop her

She wants you to support her
Make all of her dreams come true
Help her get through, her life
She needs someone by her side

Chorus:
This girl that you see
She's not really me
This girl that you think I am
She's been fooling you all this time
Just think, it; s been obvious
My life changed in an instant
I don't need you to be who I am
This girl you see
She lives her own life

That girl may be me inside
But she's dying to let go
She wants to run and go crazy
Don't let her future get hazy

Chorus:
This girl that you see
She's not really me
This girl that you think I am
She's been fooling you all this time
Just think, it; s been obvious
My life changed in an instant
I don't need you to be who I am
This girl you see
She lives her own life
