LYRICS:

Shimmer Like A Girl

Nina Gordon

dishing you

have a mind of your own now

shame on you

completely setting the tone now

i caught you

bleeding under my skin now

I fought you

but you're beginning to win now

well i don't care

i swear its my turn now

shimmer shimmer like a girl should yeah

shimmer shimmer like a girl should yeah

shimmer shimmer like a girl should

you gotta get it glimmer shimmer sparkle while you can

she's crashing

falling off of the tracks now

we're cracking

at the small of my back now

i failed you

and they're beginning to talk now

i nailed you

you take me walking the walk now
