Uh-huh, this my shit

A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
‘Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl

And you didn’t think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that
Getting everybody fired up
So I’m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That’s right, put your pom-poms down
Getting everybody fired up

No principals, no student teachers
Both of us wanna be the winner
But there can only be one

So I’m gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That’s right, I’m the last one standing
Another one bites the dust

A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
‘Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl
