Girls like us like cotton candy
Plastic handbags alcohol
Girls like us sometimes ignore people on the street
Even though they’re people that we know
Girls like us sneak breaks at Wendy’s
And girls like us invented jazz
Girls like us have no foundations
Creation myths are so passé
 
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us might flock to scandals
But girls like us don’t give a shit
Girls like us pick up the hot handles
And burn our hands and we get over it
Girls like us use highlighter pens
Especially to write our poems
Girls like us stand back to back
Just because you know we want to know
 
Girls like us
Girls like us
 
Girls like us eat salt for breakfast
Girls like us are good at that
Girls like us refuse to hang
License plates on our bedroom walls
Girls like us carry our passports
Just in case you know we have to go
Girls like us are most perfect
When we’re biting off all our fingernails
 
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us use highlighter pens
Especially to write our poems
Girls like us stand back to back
Just because you know we need to know
Girls like us are maybe most perfect
When we’re biting off all our fingernails
Girls like us love the calm
Just before it starts to hail
 
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
