Actually I Can
You can laugh if you want
Hey I think it's kinda funny too
When the place is too bling for me
When manicures and pedicures speak in your stead
When your English twang is all it takes to make somebody think you're something
I choose to become somebody else
I'm a simple gal you see
I ain't do no makeup
I ain't know no pedicures nor manicures
So I slip into the girl I know how to be best
She ain't anyone I've ever seen
Nor is she the brightest star in the room
But this girl, she is the girl in my dreams
This girl ain't so trimmed either
She speaks with no flourish
oh but she is the girl in my dreams
She knows how to stand her ground
she carries her head high above every storm
She arches her eyebrows when people tell her she can't do it
With a stubborn lift of her chin
I've never heard anyone say
"Actually, I can" with such conviction.
