- I had a bit of trouble understanding the lyrics; I'm sure some of you had too ^^;;
Credits: Olivia@BoAjjang.com
Everyone's telling me, I should be, somebody I don't wanna be
I feel you watching, my every move,
The pressure's coming down on me
(I'm much more than the girl next door you see)
Don't you tell me what to do,
Gonna make my decisions on my own
(Are you ready) 'Cause I'm ready to move up
This is who I am so I just wanna be true to myself
(That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else)
If you could understand, why it's never enough
(I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top)
A pretty face, sexy waist, pearls and lace, everybody wants to have a taste
Fake and superficial, it ain't what defines a perfect girl
Take the chance today, doesn't matter what they say about me anyway
(Get it up) I'll show you how (Get it up) Let's do it now
It's the point of no return, there are lessons that you've got to learn
Imma give it to ya, take it up higher
This is who I am so I just wanna be true to myself
(That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else)
If you could understand, why it's never enough
(I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top)
Everyone's telling me, I should be, somebody I don't wanna be
I won't ever let them get me. Shake it like the way I like it
Open up your mind, we can make it work if we take the time
To realize we're all the same inside
You can't judge me by the way that I look on the exterior, no
I just can't take it anymore
(RAP)
All my girls on top if you're feeling me, throw your hands up high yeah
(Go baby, girl rise up, throw your hands up, do you like that?)
Free your mind today, don't be afraid to take the lead yeah
(Go baby, go baby) Yeah
This is who I am so I just wanna be true to myself
(That's just the way I like it, don't wanna be somebody else)
If you could understand, why it's never enough
(I'm gonna make it happen, who says there can't be girls on top)

This version makes me think that Korean pop isn´t different to the American pop is just the language
Right
agree
it's not, at all.
Yup
Because it is the same. Kpop is nothing more than a compilation from Jpop and American black music. It's just a pop,but singing in Korean.
Whoever translated/wrote the lyrics to this version - PLEASE CAN YOU WORK WITH EVERY ARTIST TRYING TO DO THE SAME - so many japanese/english producers try to translate the lyrics literally for songs and it sounds horrible. this is such an iconic song in korean and they've managed to translate it perfectly. - we don't need it to be directly translated line by line please.
Agree.
Agreed
oh man, this is good, this is her best English ver. song I've heard. Her English is usually quite broken, but here it's closer to sounding like a native speaker than I've heard from her. Love that you have the lyrics written out, too bad you couldn't get the words for the rap in, cause that's the only part I couldn't understand very well... oh well, great one
I love in her official video where she's trapped in the glass box (glass ceiling metaphor I'm guessing) w guys on the outside surrounding the box, then at the end **SPOILER ALERT** she's standing on top of the glass ceiling of the box c; so clever!
I haven't heard this song in ages. Never heard it in English. I'm really surprised how well it translates over. Most translated songs sound really silly. This one ALMOST sounds like it could have been written for English.
The best part of this entire video is how flawlessly he follows the lyrics at 2:15
This song is tell the truth BoA
and folks...this is why boa is the queen of korean pop. Rock on boa.
This song is the story of my life!! Boa and SHINee's versions were different... Boa's version states gender equality but SHINee's was about boy groups wanting to be popular against how much people favored girlgroups in the KPOP INDUSTRY back then.
siempre me encanto esta cancion en koreano!!
ahora se su significado y me gusta aun mas!!!
boa is the best!!
i love the lyrics ,it seems like it would make a girl feel good about herself no matter what :)
And now she is in Girls on Top
I´m so used to the original version that it´s weird this version xD
Her english is really good
the way i used to scream 'WHO SAYS THERE CAN"T BE GIRLS ON TOP'
love this song by BoA
I love both krn and eng versions! Boa rocks!
I like the lyrics, except they're kinda hard to understand so thanks for this video
Till this day I still wonder who did the rap verse, I love his flow. I literally looked everywhere and couldn’t find anything.
I appreciate you. The artist's name is Rhyan LaMarr
wow.. it's nice with the lyrics there. the rap part is tough. hahaz. thanks for sharing. =)
yeah girls like on top :D
the enlish version rocks.i mean,it really gives u great advise!
Is there also an instrumental version of this song??? someone plz tell my
I really wish I could find lyrics for the rap in the middle. Every lyric site I've looked on just has (rap) written where it should be. My college is having a HUGE talent show type thing and I wanna sing this but if I can't find the lyrics for the guys part I can't find a guy to sing with
I love the english version >.
i think if she made her copy & paste song in english, it would've sold BIG.
This should have been the lead single on her US album not "Eat You Up" but it was treated like a b-side and had zero promotion.
whoaa. I love this song.
this song rocks
boa pawned me with this song.no offense but whoever sings this version other than boa better be good.
Some of the lyrics sound so familiar and even the beat sounds familiar, like I've heard them in another song but I just can't figure out which song.
Where is that sample from? I swear it's from like a 90's hip hop song or something..Anybody know?
BoA rocks even if she is gentle!!!!
Love BoA and SHINee! The cover was great, but man, the original is great, too! :D
I like the lyrics :D
i love it!
This sounds exactly like a slowed down version of TVXQ's Are You a Good Girl. I love Yoo YoungJin but sometimes he's a bit lazy with his composing skills. -_-
(ie. Most of SJ's title tracks sounding like Sorry, Sorry and SNSD's Mister Mister sounding like BoA's Eat You Up.)
PretentiousTwat snsd doesn't have a sound called mister mister.
Song**
Hadely Huskey they meant Mr.Mr. which is short for Mister. Mister.
her english is good, i like..unlike nobody, i barely understand the song in english..
she should have released this as her single! It would have done so much better!
I'm way late but I definitely agree with you.
Female empowerment
Awsome!
I like her in any language nd in any video.
ogm someone give me the korean version. I cant fin d it anywhere. that has hq good quilaity!!
do anyone know where I can download this song?
Anyone know who is rapping?
Well, now we know were she wants to be! ;)
"(RAP)" xD
@fallingleaves2 so do i. but its nice to be able to sing along to girls on top and not worry if you're pronouncing the words properly
@mizzkeribaby - Look up "Perfume dream fighter" and "Colorful Fragrance" on youtube. Then you'll know what jpop is supposed to sound like.
❤
Anyone know where I can download the English version for free?
Lol I understood them when i got the CD ^-^
@animegoddess98 why? what did they do?
2022 listeners.
im confused....Is the dude rapping on this one the same dude in the Korean one?
I love Boa
@PeaceCheeseLovenRAWR BoA sang the original version of the song in korean in 2005, before any of the SHINee members were even out of high school. And their version defeats the purpose of the song, since it's about female empowerment. Men don't need empowerment anthems, since korea has been and still is a patriarchal society.
.......I see no one commenting about Shinee i hav no idea where you got dat.Also im a BIG shawol BUT i love BoA and i agree BoA is the queen .
@animegoddess98 LOL. Me too. i didn't even know about this song until Shinee and now i love Boa :)
I kno wat you mean. I'm thinking of doing this song for my skool talent show. If I can.
I like the Korean version better sound wise but I never understood what it was saying. now I know and I love the song even more :D
Why did I had a premonition for the meaning of most lyrics? (I'm not a Korean learner either)
I wish they would play this in Hollister & put it in the playlist
@JaniceJLee and chinese though she cant speak the langauge she sings in it
i like the english version...much better from the korean version..but it's boa's song..so i like them both..hahaha
((Also, while she's standing on the ceiling, the guys are now trapped in the box; hehehe >;3 ))
this is alot better than who says .. ahahah
Not all from SME :) , some from JYP , etc ....
ok i live song single you
i live song you
@vietgirl2345 Korean
i love it. or maybe cause i just love Girls on Top generally. lol
u guys only say tht the korean ver is better coz u heard tht first before this...
jst sayin..i like them both..
i think the rapper sounds like lil wayne to. and some parts sound like usher to.
GTA San andreas intro O-o
(RAP) ?? lol ^^
omg SHINee cover this song?!
If you like the SHINee version better then you need to listen to the Korean version (original version)
The rap parts on the other hand should be sung by Sam, Joe, Jake, Blaine, Finn, Ryder, Kurt, Puck, and Artie
Sm literally could have just COPIED these lyrics for step back and we would’ve been happier than we are with the actually disgusting lyrics. Why does SM get all the good artists. They don’t deserve them.
God loves you and He wants you to live in paradise with Him for eternity. All you have to do is believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and ask him to come into your heart and be your Lord and Savior; and start living for him. Just give Him a chance, He won’t disappoint you. I love you guys! ❤️
- If you guys have any questions please don’t hesitate to comment below. ❤️
omg I didn't knew that this song has an English Version!*________* asdasd AND BOA WAS THE FIRST IN SANG THIS SONG IN KOREAN! E_E NOT SHINee!! So please shut up ^^ (?) xD
i love her songs but because she;s famous in usa she turned into a american
and i think that she looked better when she was only knew in asia
She should promote this song since it's something different from the English pop songs.. the rest of the songs in the album sound rather BRitney to me.. nothing new..
Itzy would eat this up
BoA ended that dozens
this great but the korean verison is definitly better lol go listen to it if you havent
The Rap part didn't fit in lol... x_x wonder if the Korean Rap part was better. BoA empowering girls everywhere :D lol
I heard the Japanese version first so now when I listen to this I'm like... wait, this doesn't sound right... @_@;;
But I love this song~ definitely one of my favorites!
She's Korean...i think
I SO HATE IT WHEN MY FRIENDS SAYS THAT IT IS SHINee's SONG...FUCK, ITS BOA, Best Of Asia. _I_ _I_
THIS IS A BOA Song not shinees FTW XD haters
i definatley like the korean version better...
I really don't like the rap in this version. It has nothing to do with the song and it's a sterotypical American rap talking about cars and money. However, apart from that I do like this version, though the Korean one does seem to hold a stronger message
i like korean verson better. i dont know. the lryics are alittle off beat.
This is in big screen 📺 I hate those
This should be sung by Unique, Brittany, Kitty, Tina, Rachel, Marley, and Santana
The rap really sucks, but the rest of the song is great!!!
same beats as one of DBSK's songs
Muntasir Syed Girls on top is 2005 song!
produced by the same producer
not to be mean but i like the shinee version better ^ ^
awesome song but korean way is better im my opinion
i hate the rap part!
I like the song. But I hate the rap part.
