I Am a Girl Like You

If I'd like to have my breakfast hot

Madame Carp will make me pay

And I have to fetch the eggs myself

And the barn's a mile away

It's cold and wet

But still I get an omelette on my plate

But in my head I'm back in bed

Snuggled up and sleeping late

♪

If I want some eggs I ring the bell

And the maid comes running in

And she serves them on a silver tray

And she brings a cookie tin

And while I eat, she rubs my feet

And strolling minstrels play

But I'd rather be in the library

Reading science books all day

I'm just like you

You're just like me

There's somewhere else we'd rather be

Somewhere that's ours

Somewhere that dreams come true

Yes, I am a girl like you

You'd never think that it was so

But now I've met you and I know

It's plain as day, sure as the sky is blue

Yes, I am a girl like you

♪

First I choose a fabric from the rack

And I pin the pattern down

And I stitch it in the front and back

And it turns into a gown

I wear my gown

Without my crown

And dance around the room

And imagine a life without the strife of an unfamiliar groom

♪

I'm just like you (I think that's true)

You're just like me (yes, I can see)

We take responsibility

We carry through (we carry through)

Do what we need to do

Yes, I am a girl just like you

I'm just like you (I'm just like you)

You're just like me (you're just like me)

It's something anyone can see

A heart that beats (a heart that beats)

A voice that speaks the truth

Yes, I am a girl just like you
