I used to think
I had the answers to everything
But now I know
That life doesn't always
Go my way, yeah
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize
[Chorus]
I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
There is no need to protect me
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than you know now
So don't tell me to shut my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm not a girl
But if u look at me closely
You will see it in my eyes
This girl will always find
Her way
(I'm not a girl)
I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe
(Not yet a woman)
I'm just tryin' to find the woman in me, yeah
(All I need is time) all I need
(A moment that is mine) that's mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (is all I need)
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
Not now ohhh yet a woman.
I had the answers to everything
But now I know
That life doesn't always
Go my way, yeah
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize
[Chorus]
I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
There is no need to protect me
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than you know now
So don't tell me to shut my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm not a girl
But if u look at me closely
You will see it in my eyes
This girl will always find
Her way
(I'm not a girl)
I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe
(Not yet a woman)
I'm just tryin' to find the woman in me, yeah
(All I need is time) all I need
(A moment that is mine) that's mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (is all I need)
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
Not now ohhh yet a woman.

The line "Am not a girl, not yet a women" is all about the stage in her life. The Media saw her (at the time of release) still as the Teen pop princess and expected her to act like a goody-to-shoes. But she wanted to grow up, do more adult led things, but the Media still saw her as a little girl, and when she went to do adult things (like getting drunk) there would be an up roar in the press.
I love this song and can relate to it. Am 21 (15 when this was released) but my gran still thinks am a little girl, and tries to shelled me from certian things that are really bad in the media. I know a lot more stuff than she knows i know.
So stop dissing the song please.
trust me i mock her all the time. but i'll admit that i used 2 hav her songs memorized. i loved most of her music.
and for you idiots(!) that think shes saying shes not female and shes a duck or some shxt like that. get a life.
Its about growing up [particularly in the spot light] and people treating you like you are a kid, like you cannot do your own thing, its about that middle place, not quite grown, but not a little kid.. she wants to figure it out on her own instead of being told what and what not to do. great song
