The Girl Stands Up to Me Now

Jonathan Richman

[Verse 1]
Well, the girl stands up to me now
More than she did before
I used to win all the arguments
When she felt inferior

[Chorus]
But now the girl says yes when she means yes
The girl says no when she means no
The girl stands up to me now
More than she did before

[Verse 2]
Well, now when she says no
It comes out smooth as silk
She don't act like no bad breakfast cereal
Waiting to wilt into milk

[Chorus]
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
The girl says no when she means no
The girl stands up to me now
More than she did before

[Verse 3]
When she says no to me
It’s just like the umpire's call
It's strike strike strike three buddy
And ball, ball, ball

[Chorus]
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
The girl says no when she means no
The girl stands up to me now
More than she did before

[Verse 4]
When she first said no
Ooh, that was rough
Well now, I think I like her better
Tough, tough, tough

[Chorus]
Because the girl says yes when she means yes
The girl says no when she means no
The girl stands up to me now
More than she did before

[Refrain]
Oh, more than she did before
