I Am A Girl Like You Lyrics by Melissa Lyons, Julie Stevens

Barbie Sings! The Princess Movie Song Collection

2004

[ANNELIESE, spoken]
I'm savoring a first and last taste of freedom before getting married next week
To a total stranger
[ERIKA, spoken]
At least you're not an indentured servant
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
Indentured servant?
[ERIKA]
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, yet still I get an omelette on my plate
But in my head, I'm back in bed, snuggled up and sleeping late
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
Really?
[ERIKA, spoken]
Really, but it's all right, I mean, I'm used to it
And you?
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
Well
[ERIKA, spoken]
Well?
[ANNELIESE]
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 my library reading science books all day
[ERIKA]
I'm just like you
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
You are?
[ERIKA]
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
That I am a girl like you
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
So, you're a singer
[ERIKA, spoken]
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
I love Madame Carp's dresses
[ERIKA, spoken]
I made the one you're wearing
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
You made this?
The design looks so complicated
[ERIKA, spoken]
Oh, but it isn't really
[ERIKA]
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
[ANNELIESE]
I wear the gown without my crown and dance around my room
[ANNELIESE & ERIKA]
And imagine life without the strife of an unfamiliar groom
[ANNELIESE, spoken]
But I'd never let my mother know, I wouldn't wanna disappoint her
[ERIKA, spoken]
I completely understand
[ANNELIESE, ERIKA, ANNELIESE & ERIKA]
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 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 like you
