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
