“Just a Girl” is a Florence + the Machine dramatic ethereal rock cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl” from their 1995 album Tragic Kingdom.
The track was featured in the season two trailer of the hit Showtime thriller series Yellowjackets. This Florence + the Machine cover seems to be perfect for the show’s horror-inspired nature with Welch’s vocals echoing. Yellowjackets season two will begin streaming on 24th March 2023.

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
‘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
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I’ve had it up to here
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’d rather not be
‘Causе they won’t let me drivе 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
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I’ve had it up to here
Oh, am I making myself clear?
[Bridge]
I’m just a girl
I’m just a girl in the world
That’s all that you’ll let me be
[Chorus]
‘Cause 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
Well, I’m just a girl, oh, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there’s no comparison
[Outro]
Oh, I’ve had it up to
Oh, I’ve had it up to
Oh, I’ve had it up to here
