Two young girls felt different from others and hid that they were attracted to the same gender. Their parents told them they should find a man like Ken to marry and have a traditional relationship, but one girl knew she was attracted to other girls like Barbie instead of Ken. The song says she shouldn't have to apologize or feel ashamed for being attracted to girls rather than boys, and that people should accept that she can love who she wants.

Two little girls, with their heads up in the clouds
Dreamin' like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd But between themselves They knew that they were different But they pushed it down Cause nobody would even listen Their parents always saying Girl when you grow up You're gonna find a nice man Make sure you're pretty enough You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken C'mon suck it up and forget this nonsense What if its not Ken, but Barbie? Why should she have to say sorry? Tell me do you even listen To all the dumb shit you're slippin'? We can love who we want to Don't say she's not supposed to If it's not Ken, but Barbie She doesn't have to say sorry No, not to you Not to me Not to anyone, anyone, anyone Not to you Not to me Not to anyone, anyone, anyone Hidin' how she feels Sayin' things like Love ain't real All just to conceal That she's not society's ideal Hearin' what they say About those who feel the same way She's really not okay Tells herself it's just a phase Her parents always sayin' Girl when will you see You don't know what you want Trust us we know what you need You'll be with your own Ken, oh so happily It's no way to live, with another Barbie But what if it's not Ken but Barbie Why should she have to say sorry? Tell me do you even listen To all the dumb shit you're slippin'? We can love who we want to Don't say she's not supposed to If it's not Ken but Barbie She doesn't have to say sorry No, not to you Not to me Not to anyone, anyone, anyone Not to you Not to me Not to anyone, anyone, anyo-o-one No, No She doesn't have to say sorry No, No She's never gonna say sorry She never wanted Ken but Barbie She never ever has to say sorry And nobody is gonna listen To all the dumb shit you're slippin' We can love who we want to Don't say she's not supposed to It'll never be Ken but always Barbie And she doesn't have to say sorry To you
