BoA - Girls On Top (English Version) Lyrics






Everyone's telling me I should be somebody I don't wanna be

I feel you watching my every move
The pressure's coming down on me
I'm much more than the girl next door you see (so)
Don't you tell me what to do
Gonna make my decisions on my own
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to move on...

This is who I am, so I just wanna be true to myself
That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else
If you could understand why it's never enough
I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top

A pretty face, sexy waist, pearls and lace, everybody wants to have a taste
Fake and superficial, it ain't what defines a perfect girl

Take the chance today, doesn't matter what they say about me anyway
Get it up, I'll show you how, get it up, I'll show you now

It's the point of no return, there are lessons that you've got to learn
I'ma give it to ya, take it up higher

This is who I am, so I just wanna be true to myself
That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else
If you could understand why it's never enough
I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top

Everyone's telling me I should be somebody I don't wanna be
I won't ever let them get me, shake it like the way I like it

Open up your mind, we can make it work if we take the time
To realize we're all the same inside
You can't judge me by the way that I look on the exterior, no
I just can't take it anymore

[Rap]

All my girls on top, if you're feeling me, throw your hands up high yeah
Go baby, girl rise up, throw your hands up, do you like that?
Free your mind today, don't be afraid to take the lead yeah
Go baby, go baby, yeah

This is who I am, so I just wanna be true to myself
That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else
If you could understand why it's never enough
I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top

BoA Girls On Top (English Version) Comments
  1. b.... ....

    Some of the lyrics sound so familiar and even the beat sounds familiar, like I've heard them in another song but I just can't figure out which song.

  2. T.... M....

    I haven't heard this song in ages. Never heard it in English. I'm really surprised how well it translates over. Most translated songs sound really silly. This one ALMOST sounds like it could have been written for English.

  3. M.... S....

    same beats as one of DBSK's songs

    M.... S....

    Muntasir Syed Girls on top is 2005 song!

    M.... S....

    produced by the same producer

  4. L.... ....

    Whoever translated/wrote the lyrics to this version - PLEASE CAN YOU WORK WITH EVERY ARTIST TRYING TO DO THE SAME - so many japanese/english producers try to translate the lyrics literally for songs and it sounds horrible. this is such an iconic song in korean and they've managed to translate it perfectly. - we don't need it to be directly translated line by line please.

  5. J.... B....

    i hate the rap part!

  6. y.... S....

    korea need equality of the sexes. never, boys don't better than girls. we are all the same people! fucking korea bastard! stop the male chauvinism! and I LOVE YOU BOA♥

  7. N.... w....

    This version makes me think that Korean pop isn´t different to the American pop is just the language

    N.... w....

    it's not, at all.

  8. N.... w....

    I´m so used to the original version that it´s weird this version xD

  9. A.... A....

    The rap really sucks, but the rest of the  song is great!!!  

  10. �.... �....

    ok i live song single you

    �.... �....

    i  live song you

  11. P.... ....

    This sounds exactly like a slowed down version of TVXQ's Are You a Good Girl. I love Yoo YoungJin but sometimes he's a bit lazy with his composing skills. -_-
    (ie. Most of SJ's title tracks sounding like Sorry, Sorry and SNSD's Mister Mister sounding like BoA's Eat You Up.)

    P.... ....

    PretentiousTwat snsd doesn't have a sound called mister mister.

    P.... ....

    Hadely Huskey they meant Mr.Mr. which is short for Mister. Mister.

  12. B.... F....

    This song is tell the truth BoA

  13. b.... ....

    ((Also, while she's standing on the ceiling, the guys are now trapped in the box; hehehe >;3 ))

  14. b.... ....

    I love in her official video where she's trapped in the glass box (glass ceiling metaphor I'm guessing) w guys on the outside surrounding the box, then at the end **SPOILER ALERT** she's standing on top of the glass ceiling of the box c; so clever!

  15. x.... _....

    Her english is really good

  16. H.... F....

    I wish they would play this in Hollister & put it in the playlist

  17. x.... ....

    (RAP) ?? lol ^^

  18. a.... ....

    i think if she made her copy & paste song in english, it would've sold BIG. <3

    a.... ....

    This should have been the lead single on her US album not "Eat You Up" but it was treated like a b-side and had zero promotion.

  19. A.... S....

    GTA San andreas intro O-o

  20. H.... M....

    she was talking about anyone saying it's shinee's song and that she copied it or something, not necessarily done in the comments but just in general

  21. g.... .....

    .......I see no one commenting about Shinee i hav no idea where you got dat.Also im a BIG shawol BUT i love BoA and i agree BoA is the queen .

  22. T.... ....

    and folks...this is why boa is the queen of korean pop. Rock on boa.

  23. K.... ....

    The best part of this entire video is how flawlessly he follows the lyrics at 2:15

  24. H.... M....

    it's what a guy calls a woman slightly older than them or their sister

  25. n.... ....

    The rap parts on the other hand should be sung by Sam, Joe, Jake, Blaine, Finn, Ryder, Kurt, Puck, and Artie

  26. n.... ....

    This should be sung by Unique, Brittany, Kitty, Tina, Rachel, Marley, and Santana

  27. T.... ....

    i like korean verson better. i dont know. the lryics are alittle off beat.

  28. D.... ....

    ogm someone give me the korean version. I cant fin d it anywhere. that has hq good quilaity!!

  29. l.... ....

    This song is the story of my life!! Boa and SHINee's versions were different... Boa's version states gender equality but SHINee's was about boy groups wanting to be popular against how much people favored girlgroups in the KPOP INDUSTRY back then.

  30. O.... T....

    omg SHINee cover this song?!

  31. y.... m....

    I SO HATE IT WHEN MY FRIENDS SAYS THAT IT IS SHINee's SONG...FUCK, ITS BOA, Best Of Asia. _I_ _I_

  32. D.... S....

    The Rap part didn't fit in lol... x_x wonder if the Korean Rap part was better. BoA empowering girls everywhere :D lol

  33. S.... ....

    Where is that sample from? I swear it's from like a 90's hip hop song or something..Anybody know?

  34. x.... ....

    Love BoA and SHINee! The cover was great, but man, the original is great, too! :D

  35. M.... A....

    whoaa. I love this song.

  36. L.... C....

    Not all from SME :) , some from JYP , etc ....

  37. Z.... ....

    Well, now we know were she wants to be! ;)

  38. L.... G....

    "(RAP)" xD

  39. k.... l....

    THIS IS A BOA Song not shinees FTW XD haters

  40. V.... W....

    @animegoddess98 why? what did they do?

  41. B.... ....

    BoA's voice fits Sean Garrett's voice damn well

  42. h.... ....

    @animegoddess98 LOL. Me too. i didn't even know about this song until Shinee and now i love Boa :)

  43. t.... ....

    SHINee made me like this song, not gonna lie~

  44. A.... ....

    omg I didn't knew that this song has an English Version!*________* asdasd AND BOA WAS THE FIRST IN SANG THIS SONG IN KOREAN! E_E NOT SHINee!! So please shut up ^^ (?) xD

  45. m.... ....

    @PeaceCheeseLovenRAWR BoA sang the original version of the song in korean in 2005, before any of the SHINee members were even out of high school. And their version defeats the purpose of the song, since it's about female empowerment. Men don't need empowerment anthems, since korea has been and still is a patriarchal society.

  46. i.... ....

    boa pawned me with this song.no offense but whoever sings this version other than boa better be good.

  47. K.... S....

    If you like the SHINee version better then you need to listen to the Korean version (original version)

  48. h.... ....

    I really don't like the rap in this version. It has nothing to do with the song and it's a sterotypical American rap talking about cars and money. However, apart from that I do like this version, though the Korean one does seem to hold a stronger message

  49. K.... W....

    this is alot better than who says .. ahahah

  50. �.... ....

    not to be mean but i like the shinee version better ^ ^

  51. m.... l....

    yeah girls like on top :D

  52. s.... ....

    Anyone know who is rapping?

  53. d.... ....

    i like the english version...much better from the korean version..but it's boa's song..so i like them both..hahaha

  54. A.... C....

    I like the Korean version better sound wise but I never understood what it was saying. now I know and I love the song even more :D

  55. B.... -....

    Is there also an instrumental version of this song??? someone plz tell my

  56. n.... ....

    love this song by BoA

  57. m.... ....

    i love it!

  58. h.... ....

    I love the english version >.<

  59. M.... ....

    I like the lyrics :D

  60. e.... ....

    she should have released this as her single! It would have done so much better!

    e.... ....

    I'm way late but I definitely agree with you.

  61. R.... ....

    this song rocks

  62. d.... ....

    @mizzkeribaby - Look up "Perfume dream fighter" and "Colorful Fragrance" on youtube. Then you'll know what jpop is supposed to sound like.

  63. J.... S....

    BoA rocks even if she is gentle!!!!

  64. P.... L....

    nothing beats BoA's version... i love SHINee! they also did a great job on singing this song! well we could say that SHINee did the male version of this song!!

  65. d.... ....

    No no no no, this music is not good. It's like all the crappy American pop music. I go to Japan for originality.

  66. I.... E....

    I heard the Japanese version first so now when I listen to this I'm like... wait, this doesn't sound right... @_@;;
    But I love this song~ definitely one of my favorites!

  67. S.... ....

    Awsome!

  68. s.... ....

    @fallingleaves2 so do i. but its nice to be able to sing along to girls on top and not worry if you're pronouncing the words properly

  69. s.... ....

    @JaniceJLee and chinese though she cant speak the langauge she sings in it

  70. S.... ....

    @vietgirl2345 Korean

  71. S.... B....

    Anyone know where I can download the English version for free?

  72. E.... L....

    She's Korean...i think

  73. K.... ....

    I like her in any language nd in any video.

  74. A.... ....

    i definatley like the korean version better...

  75. H.... ....

    siempre me encanto esta cancion en koreano!!
    ahora se su significado y me gusta aun mas!!!

    boa is the best!!

  76. L.... B....

    i love her songs but because she;s famous in usa she turned into a american
    and i think that she looked better when she was only knew in asia

  77. -.... t....

    this great but the korean verison is definitly better lol go listen to it if you havent

  78. I.... ....

    I love Boa<3

  79. m.... f....

    She should promote this song since it's something different from the English pop songs.. the rest of the songs in the album sound rather BRitney to me.. nothing new..

  80. I.... ....

    I love both krn and eng versions! Boa rocks!

  81. k.... ....

    Lol I understood them when i got the CD ^-^

  82. i.... ....

    i love the lyrics ,it seems like it would make a girl feel good about herself no matter what :)

  83. m.... ....

    her english is good, i like..unlike nobody, i barely understand the song in english..

  84. S.... H....

    What happened with (RAP)?

    I wanted to knw what they were saying lol

  85. L.... B....

    I really wish I could find lyrics for the rap in the middle. Every lyric site I've looked on just has (rap) written where it should be. My college is having a HUGE talent show type thing and I wanna sing this but if I can't find the lyrics for the guys part I can't find a guy to sing with

  86. P.... ....

    I like the lyrics, except they're kinda hard to understand so thanks for this video <3
    Hope someone else can do a version to this song :]

  87. V.... ....

    i love it. or maybe cause i just love Girls on Top generally. lol

  88. K.... ....

    I kno wat you mean. I'm thinking of doing this song for my skool talent show. If I can.

  89. q.... ....

    do anyone know where I can download this song?

  90. t.... ....

    i think the rapper sounds like lil wayne to. and some parts sound like usher to.

  91. C.... S....

    im confused....Is the dude rapping on this one the same dude in the Korean one?

  92. J.... C....

    u guys only say tht the korean ver is better coz u heard tht first before this...
    jst sayin..i like them both..

  93. s.... ....

    I like the song. But I hate the rap part.

  94. S.... K....

    awesome song but korean way is better im my opinion

  95. H.... A....

    wow.. it's nice with the lyrics there. the rap part is tough. hahaz. thanks for sharing. =)

  96. G.... L....

    the enlish version rocks.i mean,it really gives u great advise!

  97. K.... R....

    oh man, this is good, this is her best English ver. song I've heard. Her English is usually quite broken, but here it's closer to sounding like a native speaker than I've heard from her. Love that you have the lyrics written out, too bad you couldn't get the words for the rap in, cause that's the only part I couldn't understand very well... oh well, great one
