Like Other Girls Lyrics by Daddy Long Legs Original Off-Broadway Cast

Daddy Long Legs (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[JERUSHA]
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 that I can change
And I know you won't believe it
But I just want to 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
'Causе I can't tell her wherе I come from, Daddy
Is that the same as having lied?
For I have shut out the remembrance
[JERUSHA & JERVIS]
'Cause I just wanna be
[JERUSHA]
Like other girls
[BOTH]
Bake lemon pies
[JERUSHA]
Like other girls
Cure disease and write a symphony
And win the Nobel prize
Like other girls
[JERUSHA (JERVIS)]
I bought an evening dress (You can't imagine how it feels)
Oh, glory be!
You can't imagine how it feels (Oh, glory be)
Dressed in gingham all your life
Wearing hand-me-downs from girls who didn't like you (It takes its toll)
It takes its toll
The bitterness of wearing your enemies' clothes
[BOTH]
Eats into your soul
[JERUSHA (JERVIS)]
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
[BOTH]
But I don't think that I can change
[JERUSHA]
And I know you won't believe it
[BOTH]
But I just wanna be
[JERUSHA]
Like other girls
[BOTH]
Get all dressed up
[JERUSHA]
Like other girls
[JERUSHA (JERVIS)]
Become a scientist, a motorist, a suffragette, a methodist (Scientist, a methodist)
[BOTH]
A Fabian
A Freudian
The class valedictorian
[JERUSHA]
Or what else, heaven knows
[JERUSHA (JERVIS)]
Like other girls (Be as sweet)
Like other girls (Be as loved)
Like other girls (Like other girls)
