"Ordinary Girl" is a song by American singer–songwriter and actress Miley Cyrus, performing as Hannah Montana – the alter ego of Miley Stewart – a character she plays on the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana. It was released to Radio Disney on July 2, 2010 as promotion for the fourth season of Hannah Montana. Lyrically, the track speaks about how Hannah Montana might be famous, but she is just an ordinary girl underneath. The song was later released on July 6, 2010 through digital distribution as the lead single from the soundtrack of the same title as the special title (Hannah Montana Forever) of the fourth and final season of the series.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Don't get me wrong, I love who I am
I don't wanna be ungrateful, it probably sounds strange
I really love the role I play, the songs I sing
But with all the fame
The things that seemed so simple are suddenly so far out of reach
I wish that they could see that underneath
[Chorus]
I'm just an ordinary girl
Sometimes I'm lazy, I get bored
I get scared, I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world for an ordinary girl
Like you, like me
For an ordinary girl
Like you, like me
[Verse 2]
How are you?
Hello, goodbye
One day here, one day there, and again it's time to go
Miss Popular always on the road
Put my best foot forward, gotta get on with the show
Strike a pose for the front cover of a magazine
Everywhere I arrive, I get high-fives
They paint me larger than life (yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm just an ordinary girl
Sometimes I'm lazy, I get bored
I get scared, I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world for an ordinary girl
[Bridge]
So give it everything or nothing at all
And get back on your feet when you stumble and fall
A little luck can go a long way
So don't you worry about what people say
Who knows when the wind may blow for an ordinary girl
[Chorus]
I'm just an ordinary girl
Sometimes I'm lazy, I get bored
I get scared, I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world for an ordinary girl
Like you, like me, yeah
For an ordinary girl
Like you, like me
[Outro]
For an ordinary girl
Mmm, for an ordinary girl
Like me, like you
