New Girl
New school,
New rules.
I'm the new girl.
Friendships end,
New ones begin,
I'm the new girl.
New workbook,
Fresh new looks,
That's the new girl.
Truth and dare,
But hey, I don't really care,
I'm the new girl.
Wow, personal problems,
Well, social workers can solve 'em,
That's just a new girl's attitude.
My name is Joy, Joy, Joy!
They call me the new girl.
I've got a name -
Joy (not new girl).
