Lyrics This Girl's Got To Play - Joyce Cooling

This Girl's Got To Play

I’ve never really planted,
It just settled in my brain.
Music lift inside my bones,
Guitar was running through my veins.
When I got around to High School,
I felt like I was damned.
I couldn’t deal with tests and grades.
I wanted to be in a band.
What can I say?
This girl’s got to play.
The girl’s got to play now.
This girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play now.
Please take me as I am.
Fast as you can.
I pray that someday you’ll find a way,
Cause this girl’s got to play.
I tried to be successful,
At something not defined.
The day seemed to nearly kill me.
And music kept my soul alive.
When I find I got a nightclub gig.
They said put down your guitar and sing.
Just look real cute and entertain.
Sorry honey ain’t my thing.
What can I say?
This girl’s got to play.
The girl’s got to play now.
This girl’s got to play yeah.
The girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play now.
Come on and take me as I am,
Best as you can.
I pray that someday you’ll find a way,
This girl’s got to play.
Some friends didn’t understand it,
Cause women don’t act this way.
They say that dress is too tight for comfort.
It’s a high price to pay.
Sorry this girl’s got to play now.
She said girl’s got to play,
No matter what she said,
Girl’s got to play.
Come on and take me as I am,
Best as you can.
I pray that someday you’ll find a way,
This girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play.
This girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play.
Please take me as I am.
Best as you can.
I pray that baby you’ll find a way.
Cause this girl’s got to play now.
The girl’s got to play.
No matter what she said.
Girl’s got to play.
I just got to play.
No matter what she said.
Girl’s got to play.
