"Tomboy" lyrics - MELISSA ETHERIDGE

[Intro:]
I am a woman of power, desire, and of joy
And when I was a young girl, they called that a tomboy

My hair was short, my chest was lean
Red Ball Jets, old blue jeans
I only wanted to be James Dean

I liked the smell of paint and gasoline
Card in the spokes of my banana seat
Playing some kickball in the middle of the street
Hey, tomboy, yeah

[Chorus:]
There was no part of me that ever felt wrong
No part that felt I wasn't right where I belonged
Ain't nothing weak when little girls are strong
Tomboy, tomboy

No Easy-Bake, no Barbie dolls
I got my Hot Wheels and my Super Ball
My G.I. Joe marching down the hall
Hey, hey, tomboy, yeah

[Chorus:]
There was no part of me that ever felt wrong
No part that felt I wasn't right where I belonged
Ain't nothing weak when little girls are strong, yeah
Tomboy, tomboy, yeah

[Guitar solo]

Oh

These days I feel I'm standing tall
I got my band, my black Les Paul
Don't tell a girl that she can't have it all
Hey, hey, just call her tomboy, yeah

[Chorus:]
There was no part of me that ever felt wrong
No part that felt I wasn't right where I belonged
Ain't nothing weak when little girls are strong
Oh, oh, tomboy, tomboy
Tomboy, tomboy
