Not That Girl

* Original
* Dream Wife Remix
* Ashnikko Remix

**"Not That Girl"** is a song by GIRLI from her first EP Feel OK. It is the first track on the EP. It was released on March 7, 2017.

## Theme

> "'Not That Girl' is a shout out to the smirks I get on the tube for wearing what I wear, the horror in strangers' faces when they see my pink hair, the sneering guys outside the pub who think that I care. It is the quiet knowledge that as long as I continue to be who I am and not the girl that others would like me or expect me to be, that I will overall come out on top. It's a mockery of mockery, a song of low-key empowerment in knowing that you're the only one who understands why you do what you do" - GIRLI in an interview with Clash Magazine

## Lyrics

Take off my clothes and it's me underneath them

This is full time not just me on the weekend

Tell me my words you don't like, I'll repeat them

I'll repeat them

Walk in the room, there it is, it's that look again

Like who the fuck is this bitch, what she thinking and

What is that shoes, top and skirt combination

That shoes, top and skirt combination

I'm really sorry that I'm not the girl

Who would give the world just to be your girl

It's kinda funny that you're on your own

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

I'm really sorry if my dirty tights

Make you think that you're gonna score tonight

It's kinda funny that you're on your own

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

Don't you think you would look nicer with brown hair

When you have children they'll sit in their high chair

Look at their mummy and see the disaster

Don't you forget that appearances matter

Walk in the room, no surprise, it's that look again

Like who the fuck is this bitch, what she thinking and

What is that shoes, top and skirt combination

That shoes, top and skirt combination

I'm really sorry that I'm not the girl

Who would give the world just to be your girl

It's kinda funny that you're on your own

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

I'm really sorry if my dirty tights

Make you think that you're gonna score tonight

It's kinda funny that you're on your own

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

I'm really sorry that I'm not the girl

Who would give the world just to be your girl

It's kinda funny that you're on your own

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

It's kinda funny that you're even asking me

Ha, could you say that again?

Cause, it's kind of funny that you're even asking me
