Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

Are you there, God?
It's me, Margaret
And I'm so scared, God
Why can't I stop it?
Girl or woman am I now
A Christian or a Jew?
What's a girl supposed to do?

Maybe I try too hard
Maybe I go too far
Maybe there's something more
Oh-oh

Are you there, God?
It's me, Margaret
I'm a teenaged afterthought
I'm a symbolette
Sometimes I just wish that I was Harriet the Spy
Or a pretty butterfly

Maybe I try too hard
(Are you there, God?)
Maybe I go too far
(Are you there, God?)
Maybe there's something wrong
(Are you there, God?)
Oh-oh

I'll lock myself in the bathroom
Hang myself in the classroom
Then I won't have to go

And that's the second time, the second time, I swear
Almost a woman now, a woman now, oh yeah
It's a special time, a special time, I swear
It's something that we all share

Are you there, God?
It's me, Margaret
You're the one I want
Let's not forget
Fondness makes the heart grow absent
Don't you think that's true?
What's a girl supposed to do?

Maybe I try too hard
(Are you there, God?)
Maybe I go too far
(Are you there, God?)
Maybe there's something wrong
(Are you there, God?)
Oh-oh
