Kind of Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm the kind of girl
Who takes things a little too far
Presses a little too hard
That's why you left a mark and
I'm the kind of girl
Who wants everything she can't get
Leaving alone and yet
Somehow still leaving a mess, but
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a girl who's learnin' everything I say isn't
Definitive
I'm not some kind of minor trope
Who's never gonna change, that's so
Derivative
[Chorus]
I could get up tomorrow
Talk to myself real gentle
Work in the garden
Go out and meet somebody
Who actually likes me for me
And this time I'll lеt them
Yeah, I like tеlling stories
But I don't have to write them in ink
I could still change the end
At least I'm the kind of girl
I'm the kind of girl who thinks I can
The kind of girl who thinks I can
[Verse 2]
I'm the kind of girl
Who's likely to drive you insane
Restless, forever untamed
A little in love with the pain, but
I'm the kind of girl
Who owns up to all of my faults
Who's learning to laugh at 'em all
Like I'm not a problem to solve
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a girl who's blowing on a dandelion
Thinkin' how the winds could change at any given time
[Chorus]
I could get up tomorrow
Talk to myself real gentle
Work in the garden
Go out and meet somebody
Who actually likes me for me
And this time I'll let them
Yeah, I like tellin' stories
But I don't have to write them in ink
I could still change the end
At least I'm the kind of girl
I'm the kind of girl who thinks I can
The kind of girl who thinks I can
Hmm-ooh-hmm

What did MUNA say about "Kind of Girl"?
This song is the album’s country moment, and in some ways we feel it is the heart of the record. This song explores the power of language and the words we use to describe who we are and who we want to be. Even though it is a happy, hopeful song, I shed the most tears of the record in the vocal booth...
What have the artists said about the music video?
The video for this song highlights another layer of meaning that we feel the song holds, which is that we as queer people are particularly vulnerable when we are sharing how we identify and how we would like to be perceived. We wanted to play with the gendered nature of this song because we all thre...
What have the artists said about the song?
For songs that I start on my own, there’s two categories: I did it on Ableton, which was ‘Home by Now’, or I did it on an acoustic guitar, which is ‘Kind of Girl’. ‘Kind of Girl’ I wrote in a bathtub. I wrote it from start to finish, chronologically, first the pre-chorus, then the chorus. I was thin...
