Some girls have confidence
Some girls have no shame
I've seen it all, tried to be it all
Got caught up in my own game
Here I am, big city dreaming
Some nights when I go out drinking
My best friends hold me back from screaming
Why'd they fall for her?
I'm thinking of Mildred
What was her secret?
Now we're so far past those times
But I admit that I can't get you off my mind
What did you see in her
That you didn't see in me?
Grown up and glown up
But I'm still bittersweet
Look at me now,
I am the girl who has everything
Now and again I fantasize that I could speak my mind
When I was seventeen
Some girls sing the anthem
Some girls try their best
I'm no athlete, can't wear that jersey
Cnd I'm not one to catch
Ocean driving, raise the mileage
Open up a new horizon
Some things just don't add up
Some things don't make sense
Should I be like Mildred?
I'm feeling conflicted
Cuz I'm far above those times
But I admit that I can't get you off my mind
What did you see in her
That you didn't see in me?
Grown up and glown up
But I'm still bittersweet
Look at me now,
I am the girl who has everything
Now and again I fantasize that I could speak my mind
When I was seventeen
Say something, wallflower
Now is as good a time as ever
Rejection's fine by me
What ifs are harder to get over
What did you see in her
That you didn't see in me?
Grown up and glown up
But I'm still bittersweet
Look at me now,
I am the girl who has everything
Now and again I fantasize that I could speak my mind
When I was seventeen
Now and again I fantasize that I could speak my mind
When I was seventeen
