about
Reharmonised and rearranged, Sona's cover of the pop classic turns the track on its head and exposes the dark nature of the original lyrics, which sadly get more and more relevant every year.
"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" is accompanied by a gorgeous music video shot and directed by Cassidy Hansen: youtu.be/lYldPzFcFwo
lyrics
I come home in the morning light my mother says "when you gonna live your life right?"
Oh mother dear, we're not the fortunate ones
Girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night, my father yells "what you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear, we're not the fortunate ones
But girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have
That's what they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done, oh, girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls...
Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
But girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have
That's what they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done, oh, girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
Girls just want to have
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
Girls just want to have
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
Girls just want to have
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
Girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
But girls just want to have fun
Oh, girls just want to have fun
