Being tough Quote by Bridget Mendler
“I wanna play with your racecars I'm not a barbie doll Throw me your baseball I wanna get on your team And get my hands a little dirty I heard from a little birdy that You don't think I can take it Or that I'm made for it Or that I got it in my bones So what makes you think that It's boys only No girls allowed But there's no way, you can't keep us out, you can't bring us down If I feel it burning in my core Then I'll take that bright little spark And I'll hold it, tighter in my heart, than all your little darts If you say I'll reach the moon I'll send you a postcard soon...”
