Captain Marvel - Video and Lyrics to Just a Girl by No Doubt
Captain Marvel is a girl. We kind of all knew that in advance. But while her origin story sends the girl power message a bit over the top, Just A Girl by No Doubt still really works, cinematically. It's a fun, feel-good movie moment.
The entire film's 90s sound track is a great trip down memory lane, and this song, obvious as it is, deserves to highlight Carol Danver's heroic journey.
So here to send you back to grungy 1995 are the video and lyrics to No Doubt's Just A Girl. It's still as catchy as it was a few decades ago. (Has it really been that long?)

Lyrics to Just a Girl
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...
