about

Finally ready to embrace my true geek self, "Girls Like Me" is an homage to the finer things in life - Dungeons and Dragons, Star Trek, Excel spreadsheets…now if only I could be president of something larger than my book club.

lyrics

I play D&D on Friday nights
I watch Star Trek re-runs all the time
And my favourite thing is waterslides in the summer

When I'm nervous I make lists because
Of those bullet points and rows I love
And handsome boys in t-shirts make me stutter

CHORUS:
But what if girls like me
What if girls like me could rule the world
What if it was cool to be a nerd
Sitting at my desk and making budgets on Excel
Better than anybody else on TV
If the world belonged to girls like me

I'm an introvert who's out of touch
I'm the last to hear the latest buzz
Wouldn't know who Billie Eilish was without Ellen

And I could be much better off
If I wasn't always writing songs
I could find a fancy office job in a second
CHORUS

[Instr]
