This song is Im just a Girl by No Doubt. I relate to this song (and so do all the other girls in the world..) alot because my grandpa is trying to turn me into something im not and he keeps telling me i have to do this and that because ''girls are supposed to do that" Well...uh here are the lyrics:

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand

'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh ... I've had it up to here!

The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear

'Cause I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl

Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
I'm just a girl
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh... I've had it up to here I
Oh... am I making myself clear?

I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
In the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!

I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl ... my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison

Oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to here

I remember that song too. I cannot believe your grandfather would do such a thing. That is sooo mean! It's not like you try to change him into something he's not. If he tries it again, trick him and make him wear make up and give the excuse of all the men are doing it these days. Revenge couldn't be sweeter.

lol if i tried to make him wear make up, he might actually kill me. i dont know, my grandpa is just this guy who believes women should look a certain way..and he thinks im beautiful, but i fully dont fit the standards..well to him.
