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 class 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
