Girl Lyrics


Do you like the way it feels when you get hurt?
Maybe you should take a long hard look at your self-worth
Theres an emptiness inside
It started many years ago
You always try to fill it up
Its a familiar place you go
One day youll just have to wake up, girl[Chorus]You know you got a lot to learn
Youve got to do it for yourself
Find your own direction, dont rely on someone else
You got to know it in your heart
Youve got to build it up with love, it isnt hard to rise above
Wake up, you dont wanna make up
Youve got to do it for yourselfI know it feels sometimes that loneliness is worse
And with every change there comes a melancholy search
Now you can walk away from this
It doesnt have to bring you down
Have faith in destiny you what goes around, comes around
You dont have to stay and take it, girl[Chorus]Got nowhere to run

Got nowhere to hide
These changes will come if you just open your eyes
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hideYou gotta do it for yourself
You gotta know it in your heart
It isnt hard to rise above

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Pat Benatar is a four-time Grammy winner with six platinum and four gold albums to her credit as well as such hit singles as "I Need A Lover", "Heartbreaker", "Fire and Ice", "Treat Me Right", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Hell Is For Children", "Shadows Of The Night", and "Love Is A Battlefield". Benatar is acknowledged as one of the leading female rock vocalists in the industry.

She was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City, USA, on January 10th 1953, as Patricia Andrzejewski and graduated Lindenhurst High on Long Island in 1971. She married her lead guitarist, Neil "Spider" Geraldo, in 1982, and has two children, Haley and Hana.

In 1973, Benatar quit her job as a bank teller to pursue a singing career after being inspired by a Liza Minnelli concert she saw in Richmond. She got a job as a singing waitress at a flapper-esque nightclub named "The Roaring Twenties", and got a gig singing in lounge band Coxon's Army. They garnered enough attention to be the subject of a never-aired PBS special, and the band's bassist, Roger Capps, would go on to be the original bass player for the Pat Benatar band.

This period also yielded Benatar's first solo single – 1974's "Day Gig" – until her eventual major label debut on Chrysalis Records in 1979. The song was released via Trace Records, and was both written and produced by Coxon's Army band leader Phil Coxon.

Benatar's big break came in 1975 at an amateur night at the comedy club "Catch a Rising Star" in New York City. Her rousing rendition of Judy Garland's "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" earned her a call back by club owner Rick Newman, who would later become her manager.

After many years of producing big budget albums, Neil and Pat have continued to produce albums together, even though they have decided to end their association with major labels. They have chosen instead to place the care of their children above industry demands, and make records at home in their own professional quality studio. Each summer when their girls get out of school for vacation, they all pack up, board a tour bus, and set out to play as many shows as they can fit into the summer months. Pat and Neil maintain a close, and much more personal, relationship with their fans, than they were able to do in 80's during the heights of their commercial success.
