Paul Gordon - Like Other Girls lyrics

I am in a foreign world They speak a language of their own Nobody knows where I have come from, Daddy I can't help but feel alone I am in a foreign world I am different, I am strange I know that I should try to fit in somehow But I don't think can change And I know you won't believe it But I just wanna be like other girls Wear fancy shoes like other girls Write a literary masterpiece For scholars to peruse... Like other girls Sallie McBride is my best friend I told her that my folks had died Cause I can't tell her where I come from, Daddy Is that the same as having lied? For I have shut out the remembrance Cause I just wanna be like other girls Make lemon pies like other girls Cure disease and write a symphony And win the nobel prize! Like other girls [Jerusha Abbott] I bought an evening dress Oh, glory be! [Jervis Pendleton] You can't imagine how it feels [Jerusha Abbott] You can't imagine how it feels Dressed in gingham all your life [Jervis Pendleton] Oh, glory be! [Jerusha Abbott] Wearing hand-me-downs From girls who didn't like you [Jervis Pendleton] It takes it toll [Jerusha Abbott] It takes it toll The bitterness of wearing your enemies' clothes [Both] Eats into your soul [Jerusha Abbott] I am in a foreign world [Jervis Pendleton] I am in a foreign world [Jerusha Abbott] I am different, I am strange [Jervis Pendleton] I know I should try to be More like those girls [Jerusha Abbott] I know that I should try to fit in somehow [Both] But I don't think that I can change [Jerusha Abbott] And I know you won't believe it But I just wanna be like other girls Get all dressed up like other girls Become a scientist, a motorist A suffragette, a Methodist A Fabian, a Freudian The cla** valedictorian Or what else Heaven knows Like other girls Like other girls [Jervis Pendleton] To be as sweet To be as loved [Both] Like other girls
