Girls Just Want To Have Fun Lyrics

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

I think what she's saying is that girls want to do what THEY want to do, not what Mommy, Daddy, Husband, or Boyfriend have in mind for them. They want to be able to have the freedom to do what they want, whether it's go out or whatever.

@llama37 How does this relate the song???

She-bop is the song about masturbation,this one's just about FREEDOM!!!!!!!!

@Boonechic_21 Amen!!!

once i googled my friends name and found a video of him drunkenly singing along and dancing in his underwear to this song. then i told him. then it disappeared. which was really sad because that was definitely one of the best moments of my life. he's a funny kid. he had a tendency to hang out in the dorm hallways in his boxerbriefs, anyway.

this song is hot and it tells my life straight at the moment. its just bout wanting to have freedom but having to listen to what the adults in your life are saying

People need to get their minds outta the gutta -_- Anyway, cute song, it IS about being free. Mom and Dad tell ya to live responsibly like a good little girl, but ya gotta break loose sometimes! Love the music video, it's so funny at the end when all those people come in to her house and party.

i think its talking about womens freedom. because like women are portrayed as the stay-at-home-moms, and they're not suppose to go out and have a life. like for a girl to "come home in the morning light" was unusual and not right. so i think this song is what the title and 90% of the song says, girls just want to have fun...they want to go out have a fun night out and party

It's about the feminist revolution, and women embracing womanhood whole heartedly and with pride.

i love this song! its such a great party song! anyway, i reckon its about a girl who is sick and tired of all the old-fashioned "stay at home wife" views afound her, and she's trying to live a modern carefree life. at te beginning she "comes home in the morning light" after an all-night party and hetr mother thinks thats just NOT the done thing. "we're not the fortunate ones" could refer to them not being able to choose everything about their lives, like in the old days. they have to take into account the fact that girls DO wanna have fun, not just be housewifes. in the next verse when the phone rings in the middle of the night and her dad gets mad and she says "daddy dear your still number one" she probably means "you're still the main man in my life" (in a nice way) because he was always thyere for her, but he has to accept that girls just wanna have fun and party and live there own lives. the "some bys take a beautiful girl" verse is my favourite part of the song. she wants to be the one to kick start the modern idea of living your own life and just having fun! rathr than sticking to the old-fashioned way of being a good little housewife all the time.

I agree with this interpretation of the song!
