No One's Little Girl Lyrics

I'm no one's little girl, oh no, I'm not,
I'm not gonna be - cause I don't wanna be,
I never shall be on your family tree -
Even if you ask me to.
I'm gonna turn you down,
I won't mess you around.
I'm no one's little girl, oh no, I'm not,
I'm not gonna be - cause I don't wanna be in your family tree
Even if you ask me to - I'm gonna turn you down.
I won't mess you around.
Oh no I'm not.
Oh no, I'm not,
Oh no, I'm not gonna be -
Cause I don't wanna be
I never shall be
In your family tree -
Even if you ask me too...
I'm gonna turn you down.
I won't mess you around -
Cause I don't wanna be,
I don't wanna be.
Trying on,
You can do it, you can choose it -
Trying on.
Trying on,
You can do it, you can choose it -
I'm no one's little girl -
Oh no, I'm not.
I'm not gonna be - cause I don't wanna be,
I never shall be on your family tree -
Even if you ask me to.
I'm gonna turn you down,
I won't mess you around,
Cause I don't wanna be.
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
