Lyrics

(intro:)

Girls can wear jeans

And cut their hear short

Wear shirts and boots

Cause it's okay to be a boy

But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading

Because you think being a girl is degrading

But secretly

You'd love to know what it's like

Wouldn't you?

What it feels like for a girl

Deliciosa

Labio suave y rosa... Baby

Piel de miel, dulce y silenciosa

Te parece confundida

Su pasión esta escondida

Nunca sabes lo que va a decir

cuando empieza a sonreir

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Quieres ver y tratar de comprender... la mujer

Seductora pero nunca fácil... Baby

Misteriosamente dura y frágil

Lagrimas que no te enseña

Su dolor no deja huella

No la trates ya de impresionar solo déjate llevar

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Quieres ver y tratar de comprender.. la mujer

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Quieres ver y tratar de comprender

Lo que siente la mujer

Te parece confundida

Su pasión esta escondida

Nunca sabes lo que va a decir

Cuando empieza a sonreír

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Quieres ver y tratar de comprender.. la mujer

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Quieres ver y tratar de comprender

La mujer... comprender...

Quieres ver

Quieres ver

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer

Y tratar de comprender

Music, Limited tour edition

Song

This is the spanish version of What It Feels Like For A Girl, which appeared on one of the maxi-singles. Spanish fans were not very enthousiastic about it, as the Spanish translation seems to be rather poor. Check out Miss Boogie Woogie to see a literal English translation of the Spanish lyrics. Spanish web mistress Emma also made a much better version, called Como Se Siente Una Chica.

Tour

On the Drowned World Tour, she only sang the Spanish version of What It Feels Like For A Girl, because it fit in better with the Spanish-Latin part of the show. Wearing a beautiful black Gaultier-dress, she was sitting on a spinning stage. Then she stepped down and started dancing with each of the female dancers. Following the theme of the song, no men were on stage.
