Back in the days when this song came out, and it was played in the local club on Saturday night party, there were 100 punk rock dudes on the dancefloor yelling "I'M JUSTA GIRL!" and dancing the pogo me included. Best times.
Now that is friggin awesome....wish I could've seen that.
fuck i am rn
Lol
can't be done this now days.. It would be gender appropriation for feminist, bullying for lgtbetc,
aberration for religious, fasism for the left, comunism for the right, and soya beef for homero simpson.
I’m Just Girl 🤘
didn't realize how great it was to have stuff like this casually playing on the radio in the 90s....
Still do in Country towns

I was too young to understand this song in 1995. It's a masterpiece, especially the lyrics. "Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies."
I was honestly just about to say the same thing.
I thought this song came out around 1998/1999
I also wanted to say the same!
Just the level of feminism I approve, the rest is bullshit.
100%. I'm just relistening now and get it now.
They were groundbreaking. I loved them from the start. And Gwen's facial expressions were always so brilliant and scathingly satirical.
Agreed x Patty
Gwen was awesome back in the day and it still is and people today who see her with Blake and don’t necessarily approve so to speak. Don’t realize what a talent and just how she big she was back in the day.
Yes🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The way she softens her voice when she says "here" is so metaphoric. Because it like a metaphor for how the world thinks women aren't allowed to get angry and mad, but wants us all to be sweet good girls. That are nice to everyone and only smile.
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 ok, that's your interpretation and this is mine. 👍🏻
Just heard this song for the first time as a 20 yr old male and it clicks with me I understand what shes saying but what is the solution? What can I do for the women in my life to make them feel less (justifiably) miserable?
@@bugbuger3770 be the best human being possible 🙏
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 Incel take.
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 just is lol
I'm 68 and have this album on in the car, loud. My grandkids still think grandpa rocks. It was a great era.
👍👍
64 in 5 weeks.
Im 19 and I love "old" music. Almost all new pop songs sucks. Big respect to you guys!
I read "I have 68 grandkids" and was like whaaaat the hell lol badass. Good for you for passing it to the next generation, they need to know the awesomeness that is No Doubt. 🖤
😢❤️
the cinematography, lighting, close ups, and angles.. pure early 2000s/late 90s visual style. brings back hard hard nostalgia and memories
overexposure / big contrast was such a hot thing back then it's no wonder I always got in trouble for it in my photography class, I just thought that was the best way to go about things! it's fun! that whole POP feeling aesthetic throughout everything felt so energetic, bright & modern
Yeah I very much agree!
Mid-1990's
I almost had a heart attack from sheer joy when NB broke out into this song at Coachella this weekend, I was screaming the lyrics so loud and jumping up and down that I wanted to cry. What an AH-MAZING set they pulled off, the entire group really giving 100% and really leaving it all out there on the stage!
Honestly, I didn't know I could still feel this kind of exhilaration in my 50s. The No Doubt version of Gwen Stefani channels the spirit animal in me to come roaring forth.
Honestly, they all performed so well and really gave it their all, but nothing blew me away more than Stefani's gorgeous and powerful vocals. If you've been to Coachella before, you know that dust and wind can be fierce and Coachella Cough is definitely a thing. I don't know how she pulled this off. She must have flow in last minute because she sure was NOT breathing all the find dust from the polo grounds, that's for sure. Sparkling vocal performance!
See, I might be old but I know what I like. Glad you enjoyed it.
Must have been a sick show! Glad you got to experience that!
This is low-key my workout song.
I’m just a grown man.
It's more medium-key though
Mine is Eye of the Tiger
@@eoinoconnell185 I prefer Hearts On Fire from Rocky 4

This is my no-key workout song.
I listen to this song every day after my internship!! I am a women engineering student and I am focusing on processing. This song empowers me to follow my own path and dreams and not care what society thinks!!! Because I know my truth!!!!
Hell yeah, go out and inspire women everywhere. I'm a dude who ended up abandoning engineering, but one of the best teachers I had while I was doing it was a woman. You've got this!
yasss u go girl proud of u
❤❤❤
Yeah girl! You got this!
YAAAAS go show those boyos how its DONE
I was too young to understand the depth of the lyrics back then, today I am convinced Gwen was ahead of her time. Such an important song, and message! ❤🔥
Every teenage girl's anthem ♡
Yes
Yall are so ignorant
This song is about how women did not used to have the same rights as men
@theonerandomdude. No way? 😱😱😨 nobody realized!!! Thank you for making us aware!!! Your so smart
@@hyme601Whoops. Appears that you used incorrect grammar.
If you want to engage in an argument, please use correct grammar.
@edittzz4175 In fact, you used a lowercase f when it should be capitalized.
"I'm just a girl in the world, that's all that you'll let me be" this song is brilliant ❤
‘oh im just a girl, my apologies’
‘oh im just a girl, guess im some kind of freak, cause they all sit and stare with their eyes’
these lyrics 😭❤️
My bad. I thought people stared with their necks
2024 and this still sounds so good. 90s music is unmatched.
I SWEAR THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS BE FIRE.
I know right!!!!
🤘
Period🙌🏽
Yes going 90 down the highway
ALWAYS! Gwen will always speak for a certain side of me. Rap, r&b, jazz, rock aside, I'll always look for the mosh pit when this chorus hits. Its lyk Nirvana, Guns n Roses, it's the spirit of soul. Guess u had to be there
No Doubt, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers....Korn, Rage Against The Machine, Blink 182...All of the West Coast hip-hop during the Golden Age...SoCal music scene in the '90s was unreal....
Facts!!!!!
Fuck yea. That’s why it’s hard to connect to this eras music.
i miss the old days :( Music has not ever been the same since 2005.
YES. I’m called weird for being 14 and loving no doubt, sublime and the chillies lmao
@redoubt 1989 red hot chile peppers ig
A rock masterpiece. This was the first album that I owned as a child.
Who is still listening in march 2024?
Here 🔥
May not be a girl, and I’m not the biggest No Doubt fan, but I respect equal rights. Love the imagery used in the video. March 2024!! 🤘😝🤘

As an adult woman, I’m discovering that these lyrics really hit closer to home than when I initially heard this song as a kid :/
Big emotions right now.
PoshHyena just was thinking the same thing!
Feels
Literally same
As an adult male, i see the frustration and double standard and pre-set expectations society has on the female gender..... I feel like I understand, that I do not understand the world through a girls eyes. Music is awesome
@@boltspeedman21 you're absolutely correct. Wish more men would see that, and more importantly, care.
I was a 12 years old girl when this song came out... Im a 38 year old woman now, but Im still just a girl :)
Strange cuz i m 43..lol
I’m 14- I wasn’t even existing when this came out. I love 80’s-90’s music so much. Your guy’s music era was honestly one of the best
I'm 15 and was not alive when this was made lol
@@tatianaw4517 agreed
Nothing like the 90s.
Beautiful! I love her energy! Those facial expressions are priceless!!!
here after coachella and im still in shock that i got to witness this live. so fulfilling
LYRICS!!
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, oh, little old me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh, I've had it up to here
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh, I've had it up to here
Oh, am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be
Oh, I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
Oh, I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison
Oh, I've had it up to
Oh, I've had it up to
Oh, I've had it up to here
Thanks sm

@@lindaeriksen7513 welcomeee😙
In junior high, a girl in school performed this for the talent show, including beginning it with taking a pink ribbon off her eyes, and then performing a choreographed dance to it. It was great. I loved the song ever since.
Not the Generation then
Growing up in the 80's and 90's, I loved this band and song back then, and now many years later, I still love this band and song. xx
Props to the band for supporting her girl power! I love this song on so many levels.
She had a gift
Gwen is hardly the be all of empowerment, try Heart
This is wasn't it was supporting.
Do you not know that women used to not have the same rights as men?
They couldn't work or do stuff that men did; they would stay home.
They couldn't even have a credit card.
This song reflects on how it used to be.
@@theonerandomdude.Bro, what?
@@theonerandomdude. long before anyone in the band was born lol. Women were the first to get credit cards because they took care of family finances.
Families were when both parents lived together for life and took care of things as a team.
Why is no one talking about the bass player, dude's basslines are just beautiful.
The whole band was awesome
Bass players sicker than trump
@@jaffaxl 5 STAR POST 😂😂
Tony is very underrated.
Amazing liveliness and incredible feel in the bass.
no matter how old this album gets it will forever remain a classic. im still sad that they split up.
They are together again 😊🎉🇩🇪
No Doubt was 🔥🔥🔥 on the ‘90s,young people enjoy a classic!
A feminist song from the 90's, unfortunaly the lyrics are still so relatable almost 30 years later
The comments. Looks at them. Full of misogynistic men. Which proves ur point I’m literally just gonna leave earth soon and go to Mars lmfao
@@tatianaw4517 So, where's the misogynistic comments? I certainly don't see any!
@@galek75
I think their mainly at “new comments” then you have to scroll a bit. There’s ppl saying she’s flat and needs to cover up and crap
Not really , these days ''men'' are failling over themselves to prove how progressive they are , so 'you' as a woman can't really be sure if you got a position on merit.
Back in the 90s if a woman had what was seen as a mans role in life , you knew it was because she had mad skills that paid the bills*. That was my experience with the first few bosses I had ( women who were shit-hot at their jobs )
*Thatcher
i did not know that a lot of guys are assholes hopefully I wont be one
Song is still so fire
Trippy Commentaries ikr
& the video is iconic!
so fire 20 years before people said so fire
Fire ??? :) Yes Trippy and it's why you have 911 thumbs up ;)
Trippy Commentaries always will be
29 years and still a masterpiece

"yes I'm just a girl, some kind of freak" I realize now what she was trying to say back then when I was 14, I didn't understand like I do now. I use to love that song and the whole CD so badly, thanks Gwen. Powerfull message.
same! searching for the lyrics in the comments rn lol
I totally agree with you
I used to listen to this all the time when I was 7 💀 I wasn't even my style, but loved it. It was before my time, yet I still listened to it on repeat over and over. I'm glad I found it again, I recognized it as soon as I heard a clip of it on shorts
Happy International Women's day. ✌️💁♀️♀️
it's women's right day but yeah
No Doubt was huge in the 90's, but little did we know that that was Gwen Stefanis humble beginnings. She's a fucking powerhouse of a person and 100% dedicated to her craft
Praise her!
Hell fukin yea she is!
So funny, I told my daughter a couple of weeks ago that in my next life I wanted.
Come back as Geen
I've been shouting these lyrics everywhere I go since yesterday morning. Thanks, No Doubt, for having No Doubt about the future of women. I've HAD IT UP TO HERE.
I wouldn't have thought that this particular song would end up being the vibe of 2022, but I'm here for it. Gwen was ahead of her time omg
Sameeeee
Yell it Sista!!!
Is nice
im just a girl all pretty and petite, so dont let me have any rights. true words, like the fucking gospel
I bought this CD when it first came out!, All the great no doubt songs on one CD!
The best piece of music ever written and sung.
I had the pleasure of seeing No Doubt light the crowd on FIRE at an outdoor show in Fresno, CA the summer of 1996. Watching her stalk the stage, belting this out, through a cloud of flying empty water bottles is forever burned in my brain.
Yesss. Exactly this!!
I saw them in Detroit in 96 and it BLEW MY MIND.
wait wtf happened?
I'm so jealous of yall, I wasn't even alive yet.
@@Righteous_lex_22 no seriously us 90's babies just living vicariously through our parents and them 😅🥰
I saw them in Detroit too and the show was absolutely mind-blowing!!! No Doubt knew how to put on a concert and a party all at the same time!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes

I miss videos like this. As a kid I just knew “I’m
Just a girl” as a fun song and didn’t understand the lyrics, but now this song is relevant more than ever❤❤
Just a 30-something year old black woman reminiscing my childhood favorite songs.
Same here lol!
It's a good song. I also like the " The Fallout Boys".
You go girl ~ I ain't stopping you. 💛
Oh the looks I got for liking this song back in the day, glad I didn't let people's opinions change me
same
I know this song is about female empowerment and stuff but the lyrics are literally how I feel everyday as a person diagnosed with depression and anxiety
Honestly... being a "pretty," female-presenting person can be exactly that. I used to think about sexual assault every. Single. day, and it's never even happened to me! When the world is safer for women and girls, EVERYONE will have less to be anxious/depressed about 🤞🏾
This is what I like to call my "rage song." I just cry, and scream the lyrics because so many of my problems boil down to me just being a girl, and I relate to EVERY SINGLE LINE🥲
Gwen said she wrote it when she was afraid to walk home alone and realized how much easier guys have it.
YES
@DruidVW ok?
Just a girl. Just the most powerful creature in existence.

Who else is doing a 90s throwback night???

Says right there in the description that it was copyrighted in 2003
Her vocals here are just amazing.
I just love this gurl voice and attitude !!! Dammmn !!! God bless u more and more gurl !!!

Woman. She’s a woman.
@@ORGSE "Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me" ;)
i remember rocking out to this back in the day when it first came out. I was younger and really just getting my groove on.But I actually sat down and listened to the lyrics a few days ago and this has become one of my favorite songs. I think the lyrics are really brilliant honestly. I wonder what encouraged her to write them! I have always been a Gwen fan, still am. LOVE HER!
love no doubt. it reminds me of simpler times. I'm getting older, but still young at heart. I found a picture of me from 1999. I was so young looking.
Lisa Johnson I just read that she was inspired to write this song after an incident where her father got mad at her for driving by herself late at night. It's definitely a feminist anthem about women being independent and not needing to be "protected" all the time.
She said about this song;
“ I wrote that because my dad got mad at me for going to Tony’s house and driving home late at night. I mean, c'mon, I’m, like, going on 30 here! " -Gwen Stefani
Lisa Johnson @@@
The lyrics were utter rubbish... They won't "let her have any rights," WTF is she talking about, she's in a bad touring and doing whatever the f*ck she wants???
@@kelkil79 oh shut up. Women don’t have rights in many countries. She’s talking about being a woman generally
I'm definitely not a girl but this is still one of my absolute favorite songs

lol
she was 25 here, shes 46 now lol. still hot

sounds legit

Being old & old school, this song just makes me nostalgic. Seeing her live, she kills it everytime with all her fits & the energy 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Very underrated, great band and as a guy will always jam the hell out
Everything she’s wearing is back in style now. Im ready for it 😎
Me too! I was too young to try to dress like that but this time around, I’m ready!
Beatriz Garcia its hideous
I say, it's not what she's wearing, but how she wears it! Everyone's mileage will vary!!!
You're too fat
Is it fr? I mean, I believe a lot of trends are on cycle anyway. Bc I read i.net comments & look at ppl around my age, & think sh like ," 🤔I don't think we exactly have the same beliefs. Why are they always hating on the younger folks? Did I dress just as crazy? Did they not eventually have kids? 💡 My nieces..." Think back to ish like this & I'm like yeah, I guess ...they have a point. I did cover myself up a lot more. Even in public. But like, do you still not have dress codes :/...? Lol, I ironed letters on tank tops. But I did show off my tummy sometimes. Just a bit... & Wore a lot of jerseys. And factory worker shirts. Bc ppl said I stuffed my bra. And I copied Korn's style (hair, but when I was out of hs). Michelle Branch (dress over jeans, out of hs). And a whole lotta other randomness. But that's ok tho., Bc at least Tre Cool likes my style. I grew up in the suburbs. I was really trying emphasize that individuality... Im pretty sure a lot of females wore white tanks and black strapped bras. Although, once I did get in trouble for not wearing a bra :/. I didn't actually put that much like perverse thoughts into it. It's just my mom kept buying my lace bras, & they were itchy af. - 90s kid right hurrr:/ 🙋
I’ve never even seen captain marvel I’m just here for the song 😭

@@kimberlylippington9582 I have found my people
I love this so much. I always have. I’m 65 years old. This song was confirmation for me. That I was raising my pretty and petite daughter right. I never held her back, always encouraged her to, go ahead and climb that tree if you want to, even though her mother and others discouraged it. She’s better off for it now. I’m proud to say she’s no joke, very strong and powerful woman.
THE GOOSEBUMPS WONT STOP
There's definitely two distinct times you hear this song. Once when you first as a kid where it just rocks and the first time as an adult when you realise how sad the lyrics are because they are about the oppression of women. This song is straight fire, both musically are lyrically.
Edit: Please help I'm being swarmed by Karens and Kyles for speaking truth to power.
I wouldn't say "opression" of women but at the time of the making of this song in 1995 there was definitely much more casual disrespect of women in daily life than in 2022.
Do you live in Afghanistan or something?
Lol! I work with someone who clearly still believes that woman should not get special rights he literally thinks woman get special treatment it’s like dude you’re 32 years old please act your age. Of course I’m nice to this moron. People have told me just keep being nice but I’m honestly losing patience with idiots who cannot accept that the world is changing. Give it a rest idiots we are just done with the bs we don’t live in the 1950’s where woman are encouraged to get married or have kids. Theirs a lot of single people out there for a reason.

I never really appreciated it as much back in the day...but the whole band was so on point for this tune. And Gwen's vocal performance is just killer!

Great real life lyrics.
Relatable to anyone who betrays oneself, is conditioned by those around.

You're the only one in the comment section that puts your finger on the key phrases in the lyrics. Gwen has turned herself into a fraud, and the song shows how she feels about it.
Gwen has painted a prettier and more sexually attractive face on top of her real face, using a secret female seduction technique called "makeup". She is taking full advantage of the power of sexual manipulation that is available to her as a girl, and has in fact become a big star for it, with the entire world fawning over her and showering her with attention. The song is about how she hates what she has become (a big fat lie!), and she tells us straight up she has had it up to her fake eyebrows.
This is probably the most feminist song in existence, since it perfectly sums up the feminist desire to have the cookie and eat it too. Gwen wants to be taken seriously as a man is taken seriously, but she ALSO wants flutter her fake eyelashes and harvest money and attention from all the simps. She chooses to be "just a girl" to reap all the rewards that come from it, then she turns around and blames the world (but at least she seems to have self awareness about her own behavior).
This is apparently super relatable to all the women commenting here, so I'm assuming they're all doing the same thing (abusing the sexual power that comes with being a girl, then playing victim when being treated as a sex object), albeit not all women do this as successfully as Gwen. She is a very gifted woman after all.
Gwen Stefani was just a teenager when No Doubt got rolling. In 1992 they signed a record deal and released an album with Interscope Records but due to poor album sales, the label cancelled plans for additional albums. Undeterred, the band independently released a second album which impressed Interscope Records enough that they suffered FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). The label resigned the band to release their 3rd album in 1995 which became "Tragic Kingdom".
"Just A Girl" was the song that broke the band into mass consciousness and its the first song that Gwen solely wrote the lyrics for. It's sarcastic tone and a nod towards an independent attitude for women has been seen as a statement for feminism but in reality, Stefani simply wrote the song in reference to a time when she got in trouble with her parents for sneaking out of the house.
The video featuring a cute and vibrant Gwen, went into heavy rotation on MTV after the single was released... and the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks for sharing. And she went to practice with her band until late at night and her brother wasn't with her so she drove back home alone late at night form LA to Fullerton. And her parents were mad at her and that's when she noticed that it was only because she was a female.
Is this Wikipedia now?
I’m not trying to be an asshole. But a lot of this information isn’t true. Gwen And Tom wrote Just a Girl, the only songs Gwens wrote on her own for ND are Simple kind of life and Suspension without Suspense. The second album The Beacon street collection was a fuck you to interscope. They where never dropped from interscope. Turned over to TRAUMA in 95 then that subdivision of interscope closed then Just a girl was off the 3rd album Tragic Kingdom. I could keep going and going
Can be a statement for feminism towards her parents too ...
Im a farmersdaughter and in opinion of my mother and grandparents im not capable to have a farm.
I would need a husband for it ...
Parents are sometimes the ones who treat you wrong
Such a banger
Top ten band of the 90s and among the Top 20 female rock singers of all Time.
finally someone who writes it
This song makes me sing "I'm just a girl"... I'm a 43 year old male.
You're awesome!!!!
Same
me too buddy, me too...

Geiler 90ger Jahre Song, habe ich als Jugendlicher beim Fortgehen schon gerne gehört. In den alten überfüllten Gassen zwischen den Lokalen!
Masterpiece.
How the fuck did 1,000 people have the NERVE to dislike this video?????????? How??????????
truthfully i dont fucking know
+Barbara Black two thousand...
They must be jealous or are sexist bastards lol This song is really good, and the theme too.
+Barbara Black They are being hunted down ala Jay & Silent Bob style and beaten mercilessly :) Some folks just have no taste.
+llcruize fuck that easter bunny!
+Barbara Black because people go to music they don't like and dislike it.. opinions are allowed. also, they do it to piss you off..
Wow. How it still holds up to this day.
A lot of music from that era does... They were focused on timeless, not timely
Calm down mate she's talking about real girls.
@@rileyk5228 perfectly said
I danced to this two times today and it made me forget the overthinking, bad thoughts, just everything bad, only happiness was in me and i had so much fun!
2024 anyone BTW may ... june
Gwen is the fucking boss. I always felt like this described the way my parents treated me as a young woman. I’m 50 now, and it still reminds me of the bias I felt when compared to my twin brother.
I teach sociology and always rock my class with this one when we look at prejudice and discrimination. I'm partial to belting it out with Gwen too, even though I'm a 43 yr old male.
If it makes you feel any better, I was a Taiwanese male that grew up in the US and even I felt some of this. No doubt (no pun intended), my sister got it worse but still. Prejudice is prejudice.
A person who appropriates culture isn't a boss. They're dumb.
@@nandini8814 What?
@@missghosty wdym what. Gwen has been appropriating Indian culture since years.
This album “Tragic Kingdom” is to me one of the all time greatest albums, ever. Hit after hit after hit and thus becoming/being iconic. I bought the album when it came out in 95’, when I was 25 & because of this song in particular, and was totally blown away, from the beginning till the end. I didn’t know much about “No doubt” previously, as they weren’t known really well here in Australia, so I didn’t have their earlier albums, but this album cemented it for me. I’m now 50 ( f*ck, I’m getting old!) I was and always will be a HUGE fan of No Doubt. Gwen and the band are iconic.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ always
Turning 40 and from Finland 🇫🇮 but otherwise pretty much the same 💪🏽
I wish I was born in that generation tbh...
one of the greatest albums ever? bold statement but each to their own.
I love this song! It's the best! Good job! ❤

LOVE IT!!!!
Lyrics
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Well don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh, I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
Oh I'm just a girl
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh I'm just a girl
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh, I've had it up to here!
Oh, am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be!
Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Make me worry some
Oh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
Oh, I've had it up to!
Oh, I've had it up to!!
Oh, I've had it up to here
Iñigo Ilzar Thank you :)
Iñigo Ilzar thanks for putting up lyrics i love this song but not heard it in few years so kinda forgot the words lol so thank you again

She was so ahead of her time
You are!
0:15 Girl driver is in dhe denial stage ov grief.
Way ahead of Her Time
Actually she really wasn't...she's in her 40's here
@@christinaperez7681 what? Who gives a shit if she has a love interest!
I love this song it makes you think of a different time period and beyond life is adventures inside adventures and beyond.
one of my favorite riffs of all time
*_No Doubt - Just A Girl_*
This is *_STILL_* my ultimate Independence song!
Gwen rocks it and will always be immortal in my head and heart.
#Independence #JustAGirl
Listened to it last week, thought just the same
Oh that is too awesome, Darren Moloney!
I love it! =D
Coool, I did'nt know her. Merci Kristin Drysdale ;)
This is such a cool and true song, Kristin Drysdale. A bit father back in musical history (probably a lil' bit before your time, lol) my "theme song" has been & always will be "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent. (Quick play version to follow, although the long play is my favorite.) You GO, "girl!" :) xo

I loved that Kim Bultman (been enjoying it in my mix all weekend). #Muahhh ♥
Is she getting younger? I am scared she will just eventually disappear
She's got the Benjamin Button's disease. Her skin is completely flawless and she's forty six! She has really taken care of herself!
Elias Mertens she probably uses fillers.
yes she is getting younger oh my
its called plastic surgery....this best $$$$$$$$$ can buy...and she also sucks the stem cells out of pure Aryan baby spinal cords
***** I would believe it was plastic surgery but her facial features don't look any different.
Still playing on 104.5 great song and video 💎
Que buena banda, Dios mío. ¡Cómo suena!
I wrote her a fan mail when tragic kingdom came out. Think I was in 6 or 7th grade back then. Saying that if she got bored after the tour she could stop over at my parents house and we could ride ATV's together.....still haven't got a answer on that LOL! Whole band was great with a great front woman.
One day Mike. One day.
I wish I was u
Even as a dude I used to rock the shit outta this song, not to mention that I had such a crush on Gwen Stefanie and I still do! Oh the 90's the best time of music along the 80's!
omg yes !
Luke RoyalDeftonicBoy 90s music blow the shit out of overplayed 80s music
Luke RoyalDeftonicBoy I rocked the shit out of this song too! I’m a dude. The whole album was fire. Pretty nostalgic listening to this again. And yes bro she was super hot. I had a huge crush on her. I was 8th or 9th grade when this album came out in 95.
... and you guessed it, I'm a dude too!!! Back in the day, I was definitely crushin on this little girl HARD. The music was not what I normally listened to but after a few times, it grew on me. Fact, these guys pretty much turned me on to a bunch of other stuff I probably wouldn't have given a second thought.
