Could dress up

To get love

But guess what?

I'm never gonna be that girl

Who's living in a Barbie world

Temari didn't understand why people urged her to settle down and actually act like a 'girl'.

The number of times people had come up to her and said useless things about how she could be so pretty if she only tried was ridiculous.

Could wake up

And make up

And play dumb

Pretending that I need a boy

Who's gonna treat me like a toy

She was the daughter of the Kazekage and she'd be damned if she was going to sit still, look pretty, and fuss over a man!

She was going to work her ass off to become a strong shinobi.

Not just a kunoichi, but a full-fledged shinobi!

She didn't need a pretty name to make things easier for herself!

And all the other girlies wanna wear expensive things

Like diamond rings

But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string

This queen don't need a king~!

She had a family-- two little brothers-- who needed her!

Their mother had passed away and their father couldn't care less about his three children. He had turned his own son into a weapon for the village to use!

He may have given her whatever she asked for, whether it be a new fan or a new kimono, he handed it to her on a silver platter.

He gave her everything except the one thing she really wanted-- the love of her father.

Oh, I don't know what you've been told

But this gal right here's gonna rule the world

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your nine to five

Dream of picket fences and trophy wives

But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

She pretended that she didn't hear the way the elders talked about her and her brothers.

'Marry off the girl to secure an alliance, make the boy the next Kazekage, and have the third one as the village's weapon.'

They were children, not bartering chips!

She was willing to serve her village, and she would die for Sunagakure if it were asked of her. But she refused to be sold into marriage for the sake of an alliance.

Mr. Right,

Could be nice for one night

But then he wanna take control

And I would rather fly solo

She refused to bow before a man who believed he was better than her simply because he was male.

Bullshit!

She would show him who was superior. She would show him the power of a girl!

She was a kunoichi and no one could take that away from her. She would like to see them try.

That Snow White,

She did it right

In her life

Had seven men to do the chores

'Cause that's not what a lady's for

She practically raised her little brothers once she could stand on her own two feet. Their father was busy, so the responsibility fell to her.

She learned how to hold their own little world on her shoulders and she tried her best to share her sibling's burdens.

Just because she lost her childhood didn't mean they had too as well!

The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's

Captivity

And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet

Call me HBIC

Temari may have wanted the best for her brothers, but that didn't mean that she was going to give up on her dreams.

She wanted to prove everyone who told her that she could never amount to something great wrong. She wanted to call them out on their mistakes.

She may have been 'just a girl', but that didn't mean anything!

Girls were just as strong as men, if not stronger!

She wasn't going to let some age-old stereotype weigh her down!

Oh, I don't know what you've been told

But this gal right here's gonna rule the world

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your nine to five

Dream of picket fences and trophy wives

But no, I'm never gonna be, 'cause I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty~!

She worked herself as hard as she could and pushed herself harder and harder each and every day.

She lost her 'feminine figure' to the muscle gained through hours upon hours of training.

The smooth, milky skin that she was told to have was marred by scars that came from training accidents and missions.

She didn't think the marks of her endeavors ruined her appearance, despite what others told her, she thought it made her even more beautiful than she already was.

Sure, I'm a pretty girl

Up in a pretty world

But they say pretty hurts

And I don't wanna sit still

I'm a pretty girl

Up in a pretty world

But no, I won't sit still, look pretty~!

She may have held a high rank because of her family ties, but Temari didn't think she deserved it, not yet.

She wanted to work her way up the ranks and make a name for herself.

And she wanted to do it on her own.

She wanted to become strong and well known because of her accomplishments, not that of her family members.

People would know her name because she had worked for it!

Sure, I'm a pretty girl

Up in a pretty world

But they say pretty hurts

And I don't wanna sit still

I'm a pretty girl

Up in a pretty world

But no, I won't sit still, look pretty

She may have been related to the Fourth Kazekage.

She may have been the older sister of who people considered to be a monster.

She may have been a girl who was supposed to be sold into marriage for the sake of her village.

But over all of that, she was Temari; and that was all that mattered in the end.

She was Temari, and she was a shinobi.

She was Temari, and she was a kunoichi.

She was Temari, and she was a girl, and she was damn proud of it and wasn't afraid to admit it.

Oh, I don't know what you've been told

But this gal right here's gonna rule the world

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your nine to five

Dream of picket fences and trophy wives

But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

She was bold.

She was feisty.

She was blunt.

And she was proud to say it.

She didn't care about her rank or what others thought of her. All she cared about was her brothers' well-being and attaining her dream.

Sit still, look pretty

Sit still, look pretty

Sit still, look pretty

Sit still, look pretty

She didn't care that she was the Kazekage's daughter.

She didn't care what others thought of her.

She didn't care that the elders believed that she should 'sit still and look pretty like a proper young lady'.

She was going to do as she pleased and no one was going to stop her.

Her name was Temari, and she was proud to say she was a girl.

Her name was Temari, and she was proud to say she was a kunoichi.

Her name was Temari, and she was proud to say she would not sit still, look pretty.
