Marina & The Diamonds - Girls Lyrics
Look like a girl but I think like a guy
Not ladylike to behave like a slime
Easy to be sleazy when you've got a filthy mind
You stick to your yogurts
I'll stick to my apple pie
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls they never befriend me
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Girls, oh girls, wag your tails to the beat
Of girls aloud, oh the journos in heat
Write such good stories
Oh their mothers must be proud
Making money off your insecurity and doubt
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls they never befriend me
'Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
All they say is
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
I feel I've been riding in a fast car
Burning dirty gas won't get you that far
I feel I've been riding up the wrong path
But I'm gonna make sure I get the last laugh
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls they never befriend me
'Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
All they say is
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Girls, wag your tails to the beat (na na na na na)...

Marina & The Diamonds Girls Comments
Amen to this song. There are so many girls obsessed with their weight and dumb gossiping. Do you but stay the fuck away from me :))
when she says " wag your tail to the beat " I keep thinking of furries-
Congratulations "stop girl hating, because the song supports the opposite" type of comments, now I can't find girl hate comments no matter how hard I try 😂
Other girls:
have glasses
think that they are not like the others
''NICE''
Pretend To Be Depressed
wear hoodies
have black hair
LOVE Food
Me:
hamster
tells terrible jokes
speaks with a southern accent
wears a shop apron
I’m not like others girls....
I’m not a girl
Ha ha non-binary jokes
All girls are different in their own way, same with men and non-binary folk
Everyone is different in their own special way
The moment when i realize that 7/10 my most fav songs are by her ❤️
Listen: I generally love Marina, but I honestly hate the line “I fall asleep when they speak of all the calories they eat”, like cool, you’re bored of something that literally drives people to kill themselves and is associated with the most deadly psychological disorder in the world. I just don’t like how she’s treating some girls obsession with calories/weight gain as this shallow thing with nothing behind it except wanting to be attractive. There’s so much more to having a problematic relationship with food, for example it’s a coping mechanism for some, and it’s mostly about the feeling of being “in control”, even when your life is falling apart, so to me this line just seems ignorant.
shes singing from a r/imnotlikeothergirls pov to mock r/imnotlikeothergirls lol
you, didnt get the point of the song did you, not a bit not at all nope none nada try again dork
50% of comments complaining about girl hate comments
50% this is great song
0% girl hate
r/imnotliketheothergirls
i love this song tho
Girl hate should stop and guys need to be kinder not really feminist here but omg it'd be so much better if guys can UNDERSTAND GIRLS JUST FOR ONE FUCKING DAY
We don't want to.
Girls understand girls, and they fucking hate each other.
flowers? sister: gross only if they are dead Short dresses? sister: NOPE! long dresses "only if they have shorts underneath and make me feel comfy" boy shirts? sister: HELL YEA Makeup? "ONLY FAKE PEOPLE WEAR MAKEUP THE ONLY UN SLUTTY MAKEUP IS CHAPSTICK" jeans sister: To tight I like em' but to tight on my thighs.
@brogan banks well sorry I was just saying that my sister ain't girly and she hates spoiled bitches and I lied about being sorry :3
@brogan banks sorry I forgot my sister is bullied by the fact she's not girly and think makeup looks fake when it doesn't look natural maybe if I added that in the comment you'd shut up and not think about replying :3
@Ashley Cline lol you're an actual egit, just because your sister is bullied for not being feminine, doesnt mean you can be hypocritical and bully girls that are girly. that just proves you're no different. :3 you fuckin weirdo weeb
@Ashley Cline you're the type of person who sits at the back of the class watching shitty minecraft youtubers and genuinely believing sssniperwolf's videos (shes the literal definition of girly and slutty so idk wtf you're playing at)
@brogan banks thats what i wanna tell to every tomboy in royale high... They dont talk to me because i wear girly clothes like smh. Also to gacha tomboys
~(^-^)~ nanananana
me at 12: haha girls by marina and the diamonds is about how shallow and obnoxious other girls are. im different
me at 15: its shallow of marina to have an entire song thats I’m Not Like Other Girls
me at 18, finally paying attention to lyrics: girls isnt even about average girls it’s a criticism of female celebrities/influencers who use teenage insecurity to sell a product and keep themselves young and relevant, and who attack any other female celebrities who disrupt that pattern and encourage girls to be genuinely confident and independent because confident girls don’t need to buy their brands
*Me, an aspiring journalist:* *silently cries in the corner *
Literary describes the
r/NOTLIKEOTHERGIRLS sub reddit
I relate this to my DnD character...
ugh marina yr mind. I adore this song bc its about how stupid girl on girl hate/girl hate in general is!!!! all of us have different societal pressures, different situations, and different cultures. it's pointless to hate on someone bc they've been branded a "basic bitch" or smth or other. facts are society has raised girls and women to hate each other and tear each other down instead of being supportive and kind to each other!!! this song calls attention to that and I love it.
Can y’all quit commenting about how the special snowflakes need to shut up, we got enough of those comments I’m tryna see the snowflakes but y’all are commenting too damn much 😂😂😂
This song is just "I'm not like other girls"
Not exactly
no it isn't
nah. mostly talking about girls who think "theyre not like others"...girl on girl hate
LPS popular in one (one) song
I used to love this before I realized I was trans lolol
I love how all the comments are talking about other comments that I can't even see xD
The comments section has perfect r/notlikeothergirls material.
being different doesn't make you interesting.
There, i said it.
Burning dirty gas won't get you that far...
I'm not like most girls bc of my GIGANTIC dick
how many inches
@Lucy Aprilyui 25
I never Seen a girl like this in my school.. Cause im just 5th grader :3
I'm in 6th grade and just to let you know, don't waste your last year in elementary school have fun while you can. For me, I went through so much drama and stuffff 😪✌
@Lucy Aprilyui wow
I ain't takin none of this I'm not like other girls bs, it's not us and them were all females, some more feminine than others. Suck it up.
Why is Marina against Yogurts tho.
I'm not like other girls
I'm a cup of tea
Aw i love girls aloud
Anyone in 2019? No? Ok
What a sad and dumb song. If you think this song is remotely accurate to 99% of women, including Marina herself, you’re sorely mistaken. People saying ‘she’s saying girl on girl hate is bad’ but this entire song IS girl hate.
ĈÖØÕĦĶĨĔ CM ‘Girls they never befriend me cos I fall asleep when they speak of all the calories they eat, all they say is na na na na”
How exactly is this satire? Where in this song is there any evidence of satire?
Saying you’re a feminist means literally nothing. You can be a feminist and want to fight the patriarchy and do so by putting down women who are too girly, and there are plenty of transphobic ‘feminists’, identifying as feminist doesn’t make you flawless.
CrazyGamerGirl the WAY it rejects the expectations of society is by putting down women who follow those expectations, and that is equally gross.
@Aaris Howton I was gonna reply but i accidentally pressed the escape button on the window and deleted my fuckin essay of a comment. I'll get back to this later cus I'm not even gonna try to argue.
lol its satire u fuckin noob
@Aaris Howton in the GENIUS analysis of this song, its proposed shes speaking in a mocking/patronising tone. if she actually isnt, shes being hypocritical to further her point. its a loop hole
I look like a guy but i think like a girl and nobody is getting weird about that
Me: *aggressively headbobs*
My mom who just walked in the room: WTF!?!?
This song about NORMIE girls. Doesn't matter you are boyish or girly. Its about the mindset and pov.
There are more people saying not to say “I’m not like other girls” then people actually saying it
I used to really like this song a few years ago and sweet heavens I know this isn't what the song means to most people but how did I not realize I was trans and liked girls????????
I’m like that and I’m owning up to it. I dress up in a real nice 50’s style similar to somewhat a jumps style
_accidentally made it 1.25x and it sounds freaking awesome_
Girls please behave.....
She looks like she’s about to whip at the start
Idk why but I really like the aesthetic of this video. But really, the colors and fonts are pleasing to the eye, it’s really nice!
this song helped me realize i was trans
I'm not like most girls...
I'm a lesbian
In my mind I'm a pretty girl that doesn't look a day past 30, but in reality I am an old fucking man that can't wait to die 😞
Honestly same
People in the comments are defending themselves from people that don’t exist. Get over yourselves!
Geez Marina, how did you become so sassy so fast?
*I'm not like other girls*
Still one of my favorite songs. :3
100% of the comments: *STOP THE HATE ON GIRLS! THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT! THIS SONGS ISNT SUPPOSED TO MEAN THAT!*
All i wanna know is where was this song when i was in highschool and how is this song mocking people who try to hard to be unique???
It's satire, I like to think of it sung from the perspective from someone who you'd probably find in *r/notlikeothergirls* as it mocks girls who view themselves as different. Girls *trying to be unique* often put down other girls and view themselves above other girls because they are not feminine. The song i s meant to show how stupid Girl on Girl hate is.
r/notlikeothergirls
This is the opposite of that.
This music is so mean to girls. I mean females are told to act like that all their lifes. You can't just teach someone to be like so and expect them to act in another way. It's sad to see that both sides of the song are wrong D:
I think you have misunderstood her. She is pointing out exactly what you said, that girls/women are socialized to be a certain way through media, education, social constructs, etc. In my opinion, she is saying that she sees the truth and all the institutions that support the "feminine ideal." She is saying that she sees it and she is not going to be what they want her to be. Other girls/women on the other hand, completely embrace that construct of female as a size zero, yogurt eating, flirty yet virgin-like, etc. She is saying that she cannot relate to those females, The song, again, in my opinion, should encourage you to be like Marina. Be yourself. Do not worry about what is popular and what society thinks a female should be. Look at her. If she had done ll that was expected of her, she would not be Marina today.
Helena Lena i honestly just thought it was supposed to satirize the whole girl on girl hate
This is an amazing song, I really like the video too. Reminds me of the 50’s kind of style
I love the rythm of the song, is magical.
1:30 Marina predicted the rise of romanticising mental illness before it happened
Na na na na na
i am durty
i am tomboy
no one cares
Anthem for the ' teen idle' archetype💙
id say its more the housewife archetype tbh
everyone talking about haters... *cant find any*
I’m not like other girls Because IIIIiIiIiI don’t identify as a one XD
(Also cuz I’m gay)
hun there are so mu,ch non-gender people and gay people in the word...
Oxony lmao I’m aware it’s a joke lol
that doesnt make sense.
if you're attracted to girls and you're a girl that doesn't mean you're genderless
I agree with all the points she makes in this song. Girls are raised mostly to care about being beautiful. So many women suffer from that stereotype....I certainly have... even though I’ve stopped caring what people think about me I’m still very insecure about the way I look that’s because I’m raised to be...good song!
It’s funny how when this was made girls fought down girls but now it’s just a bunch of girls hating boys for doing nothing wrong lol
Most people don’t seem to get it, but this song is about vanity. When you get so obsessed with your looks, that you’re afraid of them changing. Looks change, and so does weight. Starving yourself isn’t the way to looking beautiful forever, it’s the way to an early grave.
This song is surface level sarcastic relatable for trans guys and tomboys, and deeper sarcastic relatable for everyone
I'm exactly like every girl on the internet lately
Pastels
Skirts and cute clothes
Sarcastic

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GIRK HATE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SONG IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT LIKE DONT BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!!!! IM A TOMBOY AND TBH I HATE DRESSES!!!!!!
good for you?
"WHY ARE YOU GIRL HATING!??? *proceeds to hate on a stereotypicaly femininr thing* "
no one asked if you like dresses or not you're not special.
That's not what this song is supposed to mean you special snowflake. Holy shit this is going on r/notliketheothergirls
The song is satire, it makes fun of girls who view themselves as better for simply having different interesting. The album is fucking Electra Heart, what do you expect?
Boys they never befriend me cause I fall asleep when they speak of all the bubble butts they see. ALL THEY SAY IS NANANANANA.
Girls at my school: swooning over boys, gossip and other stuff.
Me and my friends: Creepy stuff, Being weird, memes.
omg you're so different from other girls that's so quirky!!! XD >.<
OmggggGgGg!!! so differennTtts and QuirkyyYy!11 never seen someone look you beFore!!11! *opens reddit..*
What's a journo? I tried researching it but it wouldn't give a straight answer
I think it's like, journalists?
Woman's day vibes
Was I the only one hearing "not gonna bend over in currency" but I mean it kinda fits in with the song
I love her laugh 🖤
*oh all the calories they eat! All they say is, gay gay gay gay gay*
"Never look a day past thirty" Marina is 33 now. During the later albums she realized how she can be content with herself and grow and only get better as she ages. <3 Always look at the years to come!
I'm so skinny that I don't even think that I know about calories
Everyone, how about we stop getting our panties in a bunch and just, I don't know, *RELAX AND ENJOY THE SONG?*
ok yes but old watchers must have seen that one comment of "Na means Sodium, Sodium = Salt, that means they are salty"
I JUST realized that when she says “girls oh girls wag your tails to the beat” she’s comparing them to dogs. That is the stealthiest way to call someone a bitch I’ve ever heard.
I’m here about girls wagging their tails to the beat
I felt like this was calling them bitches but idk either way I’m not mad 🤣
Why people think this is literal. She is singing : "making money off your insecurity and doubt", even though she sometimes creates a character in her albums, The Family Jewels is feeled with songs based on her fears.
Chill, is satire
legit my theme song-
Boys and their toys and their 6-inch-rockets
"I'm not like other girls"
-Every girl in the world
The sad thing about girls saying "I'm not like other girls!!!11" is not only does society teach us to hate all things feminine and therefore attempts to shun girls away from being feminine (but not too far because then they will be a "dyke" etc...), but also girls think that because the media and society often portrays girls as one dimensional 'bimbos' that only care about looks and material items. These young girls are taught to hate females AND think they are different because each of them are complex and have their own unique thoughts, opinions, and interests. Because aside from the occasional manic pixie dream girl splashed into media, most women are nothing but plot points that further a mans story; whether that man be a pro/antagonist or the men behind the scenes
I thought she said “of all the cutlery they eat”
Riceball Gacha that would make for an interesting lyric lol
*SO WHAT IF I EAT FORKS, THEY TASTE NICE. STOP JUDGING ME.*
I didn't notice at first, but the lyrics make a small but important mistake. Girls Aloud should be capitalized. They are a band, but I had no idea (clearly, I have better taste than that). I love that she is slamming them!!!
Oh shit, I just looked them up, you're right lol. Not the best music, way to go Marina!!
@magicanimals458 BTW, I like your video.
This is my nationaal anthem
that ain't a good thing.
closeted ftm anthem
this song is not about girls hating girls.
not wearing makeup doesn't make you special.
wearing makeup doesn't make you special.
according to society you're only one or the other as a woman.
you're either a feminine doormat who'd make the perfect wife or you're the human embodiment of every over-sexualized, badass female character in media because we all know that they aren't there to inspire young girls, oh no, they're their to give most hetero men something to masturbate to.
I realize I relate to this song so much.
Not because I don't wear dresses, I like things like that, but we are put to a standard where we have to look pretty; have a pretty personality, that it is it. I want to be myself and I am naturally not that feminine.
Can y'all shut the fuck up and listen to this bombass song?
Just love da song 💖💖
Edit: anyone in 2018/2019
