  • This is for all you girls about thirteen
    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 twenty five
    In little apartments just tryin' to get by
    Living on, on dreams and Spaghetti-o's
    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 forty-two
    Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth
    Every laugh, laugh line on your face
    Made you who you are today

    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

    Yeah, we're all the same inside
    (The same inside)
    From one to ninety nine

    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, yeah
    This one's for the girls

    (This one's for all the girls)
    Yeah, this one's for the girls

  • Jenni from Central FloridaI love this song! I remember all those ages, stages, and emotions. You really hit the nail on the head with this one and sing it marvelously. Now that I’m divorced and alone, I certainly have time to reflect on my broken heart, dreams, and life that didn’t quite turn out the way I thought it would.
