Paul Gordon, Adam Halpin, Megan McGinnis - 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

I bought an evening dress oh, glory be!

You can't imagine how it feels

You can't imagine how it feels
Dressed in gingham all your life

Oh, glory be!

Wearing hand-me downs
From girls who didn't like you

It takes it toll

It takes it toll the bitterness of wearing
Your enemies' clothes

Eats into your soul

I am in a foreign world

I am in a foreign world

I am different, I am strange

I know I should try to be
More like those girls

I know that I should try to fit in somehow

But, I don't think that I can change

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 class valedictorian

Or what else heaven knows
Like other girls like other girls

To be as sweet to be as loved

Like other girls
