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)

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
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.
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.
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.
This song is tell the truth BoA
The best part of this entire video is how flawlessly he follows the lyrics at 2:15
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
and folks...this is why boa is the queen of korean pop. Rock on boa.
the way i used to scream 'WHO SAYS THERE CAN"T BE GIRLS ON TOP'
And now she is in Girls on Top
siempre me encanto esta cancion en koreano!!
ahora se su significado y me gusta aun mas!!!
boa is the best!!
Her english is really good
i love the lyrics ,it seems like it would make a girl feel good about herself no matter what :)
I´m so used to the original version that it´s weird this version xD
love this song by BoA
Female empowerment
I love both krn and eng versions! Boa rocks!
boa pawned me with this song.no offense but whoever sings this version other than boa better be good.
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.
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
BoA rocks even if she is gentle!!!!
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.
this song rocks
yeah girls like on top :D
I like the lyrics, except they're kinda hard to understand so thanks for this video
I love the english version >.
the enlish version rocks.i mean,it really gives u great advise!
I like her in any language nd in any video.
whoaa. I love this song.
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
wow.. it's nice with the lyrics there. the rap part is tough. hahaz. thanks for sharing. =)
Is there also an instrumental version of this song??? someone plz tell my
Love BoA and SHINee! The cover was great, but man, the original is great, too! :D
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.
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.
I like the lyrics :D
@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
Well, now we know were she wants to be! ;)
Where is that sample from? I swear it's from like a 90's hip hop song or something..Anybody know?
Awsome!
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
i like the english version...much better from the korean version..but it's boa's song..so i like them both..hahaha
❤
@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.
2022 listeners.
Lol I understood them when i got the CD ^-^
.......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 .
"(RAP)" xD
((Also, while she's standing on the ceiling, the guys are now trapped in the box; hehehe >;3 ))
ogm someone give me the korean version. I cant fin d it anywhere. that has hq good quilaity!!
I love Boa
@animegoddess98 LOL. Me too. i didn't even know about this song until Shinee and now i love Boa :)
I wish they would play this in Hollister & put it in the playlist
Anyone know who is rapping?
im confused....Is the dude rapping on this one the same dude in the Korean one?
do anyone know where I can download this song?
@mizzkeribaby - Look up "Perfume dream fighter" and "Colorful Fragrance" on youtube. Then you'll know what jpop is supposed to sound like.
@animegoddess98 why? what did they do?
this is alot better than who says .. ahahah
I kno wat you mean. I'm thinking of doing this song for my skool talent show. If I can.
Itzy would eat this up
BoA ended that dozens
Anyone know where I can download the English version for free?
If you like the SHINee version better then you need to listen to the Korean version (original version)
i love it. or maybe cause i just love Girls on Top generally. lol
i think the rapper sounds like lil wayne to. and some parts sound like usher to.
@JaniceJLee and chinese though she cant speak the langauge she sings in it
The rap parts on the other hand should be sung by Sam, Joe, Jake, Blaine, Finn, Ryder, Kurt, Puck, and Artie
u guys only say tht the korean ver is better coz u heard tht first before this...
jst sayin..i like them both..
Not all from SME :) , some from JYP , etc ....
ok i live song single you
i live song you
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
omg SHINee cover this song?!
this great but the korean verison is definitly better lol go listen to it if you havent
GTA San andreas intro O-o
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..
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
THIS IS A BOA Song not shinees FTW XD haters
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.
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!
@vietgirl2345 Korean
i definatley like the korean version better...
I SO HATE IT WHEN MY FRIENDS SAYS THAT IT IS SHINee's SONG...FUCK, ITS BOA, Best Of Asia. _I_ _I_
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
(RAP) ?? lol ^^
This should be sung by Unique, Brittany, Kitty, Tina, Rachel, Marley, and Santana
The Rap part didn't fit in lol... x_x wonder if the Korean Rap part was better. BoA empowering girls everywhere :D lol
She's Korean...i think
i like korean verson better. i dont know. the lryics are alittle off beat.
This is in big screen 📺 I hate those
The rap really sucks, but the rest of the song is great!!!
awesome song but korean way is better im my opinion
not to be mean but i like the shinee version better ^ ^
i hate the rap part!
same beats as one of DBSK's songs
Muntasir Syed Girls on top is 2005 song!
produced by the same producer
I like the song. But I hate the rap part.
No no no no, this music is not good. It's like all the crappy American pop music. I go to Japan for originality.
