[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
But still I get an omelette on my plate
But in my head I'm back in bed
Snuggled up and sleeping late
[ANNELISE, spoken]
Really?
[ERIKA, spoken]
Really. But it's all right
I mean, I'm used to it
And you?
[ANNELISE, spoken]
Well...
[ERIKA, spoken]
Well?
[ANNELISE]
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
[ANNELISE, 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
[ANNELISE, spoken]
So, you're a singer?
[ERIKA, spoken]
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium
[ANNELISE, spoken]
I love Madame Carp's dresses!
[ERIKA, spoken]
I made the one you're wearing
[ANNELISE, spoken]
You made this? It's my favorite. The design looks so complicated!
[ERIKA, spoken]
Oh, but it isn't really
(sung)
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!
[ANNELISE]
I wear my gown
Without my crown
And dance around my room
[BOTH]
And imagine life without the strife
Of an unfamiliar groom
[ANNELISE, spoken]
But I'd never let my mother know
I wouldn't want to disappoint her
[ERIKA, spoken]
I completely understand
[ANNELISE]
I'm just like you
[ERIKA]
I think that's true
[ANNELISE]
You're just like me
[ERIKA]
Yes I can see
[BOTH]
We take responsibility
[ANNELISE]
We carry through
[ERIKA]
We carry through
[BOTH]
Do what we need to do
Yes I am a girl like you
[ANNELISE]
I'm just like you
[ERIKA]
I'm just like you
[ANNELISE]
You're just like me
[ERIKA]
You're just like me
[BOTH]
It's something anyone can see
[ANNELISE]
A heart that beats
[ERIKA]
A heart that beats
[BOTH]
A voice that speaks the truth
Yes I am a girl like you
