I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
'Cause I [Incomprehensible] a ****

I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
And no one would give a ****
Shorts shorts, short skirts, flower tops, denim shirts
In the big city nothing hurts, nothing hurts

When I was a little girl
I wanted to be a citizen of the world
Being busy with my job and my gay friends
Laughing and drinking with my one night stands

Why are you looking as if I was abnormal?
Oh yes, you're right, I've never tried to be normal
I just wanna walk around free on my own space
I pay my bills with the money I make

I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
And no one would give a ****
Shorts shorts, short skirts, flower tops, denim shirts
In the big city nothing hurts, nothing hurts

I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
And no one would give a ****
Shorts shorts, short skirts, flower tops, denim shirts
In the big city nothing hurts, nothing hurts

When I was 13
My brother moved to New York City
I dreamt so much about being there
And live the life I didn't have yet

Why are you looking as if I was abnormal?
Oh yes, you're right, I've never tried to be normal
I just wanna walk around free on my own space
I pay my bills with the money I make

I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
And no one would give a ****
Shorts shorts, short skirts, flower tops, denim shirts
In the big city nothing hurts, nothing hurts

I wish I'd dye my hair pink, put on black lipstick
And no one would give a ****
Shorts shorts, short skirts, flower tops, denim shirts
In the big city nothing hurts, nothing hurts

Hey, city girl, yeah, yeah, you city girl hot on the heels
How this tide will turn you live your life
To erase the lines of every lesson learned
So put your lipstick on all over your teeth
'Cause you're a natural disaster no one's gonna cheat

You swear? Yeah, I swear
Just get into the groovy
Don't live your life, girl
Unless it's just like a movie
Just like a movie

When I was 16
I finally moved to the big city
My dreams were screaming at my face
Heads up, girl, you can rule this place

Can rule this place, can rule this place
Heads up, girl, you can rule this place
Can rule this place, can rule this place
Heads up, girl, you can rule this place

Can rule this place, can rule this place
Heads up, girl, you can rule this place
Can rule this place, can rule this place
Heads up, girl, you can rule this place
Can rule this place
