This One's For the Girls

I first heard this song during a summer at camp. It's such a sweet, beautiful and true song about being proud to be a girl at any age, and how the different stages of life are all to be celebrated with love and happiness :-) The video is sweet and adorable also :-) This song always makes me teary and emotional - not just because it reminds me of camp days, but because the lyrics are so beautiful and empowering to love yourself at any age and be happy and love :-)

This One's For the Girls
by Martina McBride



This is for all you girls about 13
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold on to, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everybody's givin' in
This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about 25
In little apartments, just tryin' to get by
Livin' on, on dreams and spaghettios
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holdin' back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world, this one's for the girls
(This one's for all the girls)

This is for all you girls about 42
Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

Yeah, we're all the same inside
From 1 to 99

This one's for the girls
