Lyrics:
When I was a little girl, didn´t care much ´bout the pearls
I was always one of the boys, playing with toys
Running, fighting with my brothers
Giving a hard time to my Mother
Just a happy child being carefree, climbing up the trees
Then came my first year in school, all was so exciting and new
Didn´t care that I was the last girl, waiting for my turn
Unwritten rules who´s skipping rope
Why these girls let down my hopes
Was no single thing wrong about me
but I got bullied around, bullied around
So I thought they´re no better
Someday I will be one who´s strong and free
Play with me before school is over
Alone in a full room
Waiting for someone to notice you
Play with me before the day is over
See I´m strong enough to stand here
I´m the last one, last girl in the queue
When I went to high school
Changing places, changing rules
Had a feeling that everything might turn out right
Got new friends on - and off-line
Having good grades I did fine
Didn´t waste my time on school boys, too much noise
Oh, but I got butterflies
Each time he passed me by
Did not see all of the bad signs in front of my eyes
He gave me promises
And I gave him what he needs
Soon I found out I wasn´t the only one
he was fooling around, foolin´ around
So I thought I can do better
Someday I will be one who´s strong and free
Play with me before school is over
Alone in a full room
Waiting for someone to notice you
Play with me before the day is over
See I´m strong enough to stand here
I´m the last one, last girl in the queue
I´ll be strong
I´ll be free
I´ll be strong
And free
Play with me before
Alone in a full room
Waiting for someone to notice you
Play with me before the day is over
See I´m strong enough to stand here
I´m the last one, last girl in the queue
Play with me before school is over
Alone in a full room
Waiting for someone to notice you
Play with me before the day is over
See I´m strong enough to stand here
I´m the last one, last girl in the queue

About Erja Lyytinen:
Welcome to the official Erja Lyytinen YouTube channel!
“She´s the future”, told Carlos Santana to audience when he asked Erja to join him on stage in front of 20 000 people at Kaisaniemi Park Finland 2018. Erja Lyytinen, “The Queen of Slide Guitar” has become internationally celebrated guitarist with multiple awards and recognitions such as Number 2 on Total Guitar´s “World´s Best Guitarists Now” poll and European Blues Awards “Guitarist of the Year” award. She has released her biographical book called “The Blues Queen” including stories how she shares stages with the legends such as Carlos Santana, Dan Aykroyd, Sonny Landreth and Jennifer Batten. Lyytinen’s musical pallet is vast, encompassing the very best of contemporary blues-rock whilst inspired and influenced by the blues greats of yore. During 2020, with activities limited due to the lockdown, Lyytinen began to work on new ventures such as the development of her own brand of tea. She also worked on two songbooks including her most favorite songs. 2022 Erja Lyytinen returns with “Bad Seed“, the first single to be released from the artist’s self-produced new studio album ’Waiting For The Daylight’. By her admission, this track in particular “has a fat groove and makes you want to move“, said Erja. For fans of the award-winning guitarist’s playing, the composition features a wonderful guitar conversation between a slide guitar and a regular guitar. It may have been three years since the release of the Erja Lyytinen’s last studio album ’Another World’, but based upon the lead single alone, it’s been certainly worth the wait.
