Nerina Pallot - If I Had A Girl Lyrics
I'm a rock, I'm an island: I need no one to love me
At the end of the world, there'll be no man above me
I work the live long day, to do things my way
But if I had a girl, I would tell her this
That you ask for it, will be the whore's suggestion
You'll work the live long day, to take home half the pay
So if I had a girl, I would tell her this
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies
And you work some more, now listen ladies
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
Well you go to school and they tell you that you're equal
But in the big wide world that just means half the people
And one thing you don't see, there ain't no dicks on page three
So if you have a girl, please remind her this
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
Cos' you got to work and you raise the babies
And you work some more, now listen ladies
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
And if you think we're done, we've only just begun
We've only got started
We've only got started
We've only got started
So far to go
So far to go
And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain
And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains
I don't have to hate men, to know that life ain't fair
Now I see how far we've got to go, but I know, I know, I know... I will get there

Nerina Pallot If I Had A Girl Comments
Is the guy Katya Zamalochkava? ( if that's how it's spelled )
If your brows arent touching your hairline you;re not doing drag
They told me - sallie ford and the sound outside
Nerina, this song and style fits your voice so well! Love the melody, lyrics and the video! You just rock it! Love from an old brazilian fan of yours. =)
Nerina wait that's nerina wtf is going on here
Piano bass is best bass x)
ohhhh Nooooooooooooo !!!!!
Wo hoooo! Pallot is back!
Love it😍
At some points he looks like Liz Tailor from AHS
Talent, looks and great make-up skills. Awesome.
I truly hate this song. It is the only song of Nerina's that I do hate. It's the fast forward button every time I'm afraid. I was praying it would not make it to the album, but alas it did. It's also my least favourite album. I feel Nerina has lost her uniqueness in this new style. Sorry Nerina, I still love you really.
@philquine I assume a woman wouldn't dislike a song standing up for her rights and highlighting the troubles she has in society. It's different from her other songs because it has to be bold and catch a person's attention. If you don't like it because it's not like her other songs then it's working. And yeah, I would buy a song standing up for my rights no matter who it was by as long as the artist themselves didn't counteract it message (if it was done by, say, Robin Thicke, it would be rather disgusting given his view on consent). Saying that you dislike the sound of a song is pretty unimportant, actually. Saying you don't like a song isn't going to stop other listening- whereas if people say they DO like a song then other will go an listen. Hate comments are pretty redundant.
Don't preach to me about hate comments. You are full of the stuff! I have made no assumptions about you. You could be male, female, black, white, green it doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't to you. So get off your high horse. It is bigots like you that will put this country back in the dark ages!
You may be right. And the video would certainly indicate this. However, wouldn't that make the song sexist, as transgenderism works both ways?
Well it would seem to be addressing the male to female and not the female to male?
loppytaffy I’m sorry but, what the hell is wrong with you! Since when has disliking a song because of its production and melody, sexism! You realise everything you are saying is making you look like a self-entitled prick. These comments literally make zero sense and end up making you look worse than the person you are attacking. God, what has happened to the world, I though we had free bloody speech.
This is literally the only song I don't like on The Sound and the Fury, can't believe it's the second single. Feels like a bit of a bandwagon-jumping with the whole trans trend at the moment, but I guess if it brings Nerina to a wider audience it's cool. I'd like to see "Boy on the Bus" of "Big White House" or "Ain't Got Anything Left" released though, they're Fires-standard Nerina to me.
Being trans isn't a trend
its cool to me .. first hearing today
“trans trend” ??? the fuck are you on about??
Now that's not the makeovers I see on the morning tube! Riveting vid, and sound to match... and I noticed the song has a shout out for a certain strand of 'phobia' too.
fantastic!
like the melody
Amazing song, amazing video. You keep doing what you're doing!
Christ. don't ever stop what you're doing. you've got my fandom and my money
Best song on the album!! 😊
Love it!
