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
