Why Can't We?

(Verse 1) Girls are girls, why's it so tough? You and I clash though we're made of the same stuff Why should it be that we just can't agree? Could be allies instead of enemies We rock different styles, have our own dreams to chase Yet, it feels like we're stuck in a relentless race Why the cold shoulder? I've done nothing to provoke Haven't crossed your path, why fix what's not broke? (Chorus) Why can't we just understand? When a girl looks at another with envy in hand Girls are girls, why can't we just be? Friends not foes, united and free Help me understand, help me see Why can't we? (Verse 2) You whisper, you frown, and the rumors fly I hope for kindness as the days pass by It's lurking somewhere, your better side unseen Takes a while to emerge, from behind the screen (Bridge) If hearts can heal, and if words can mend Let's start anew, why pretend? Through gossip and glares, let's find our grace In our mirrored reflections, see a friend's embrace (Chorus) Why can't we just understand? When a girl looks at another with envy in hand Girls are girls, why can't we just be? Friends not foes, united and free Help me understand, help me see Why can't we? (Bridge) If hearts can heal, and if words can mend Let's start anew, why pretend? Through gossip and glares, let's find our grace In our mirrored reflections, see a friend's embrace (Chorus) Why can't we just understand? When a girl looks at another with envy in hand Girls are girls, why can't we just be? Friends not foes, united and free Help me understand, help me see Why can't we? (Outro) Let's tear down walls, let's build a bridge From heart to heart, let's make a pledge Girls are girls, that's plain to see But more than that, we're meant to be Friends, not foes—let jealousy end Help me understand, my potential friend (Outro) Let's tear down walls, let's build a bridge From heart to heart, let's make a pledge Girls are girls, that's plain to see But more than that, we're meant to be Friends, not foes—let jealousy end Help me understand, my potential friend
