I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be
To slouch when I sit!
To eat a whole cake!
Feel the sun on my feet!
Get dirty!
Act silly!
Be anything I want to be
Dance around!
In my underwear!
To run really fast!
To get rid of this fan!
To eat a whole cake!
Get crazy!
With frosting!
No escorts!
No manners!
No nursemaids!
No worries!
No hands folded perfect
Like holding a lily
I wanna be like other girls
Scrape up my knee like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be
To speak for myself!
To sing way off key!
Marry someone I've met who loves me for me
No escorts!
No manners!
No nursemaids!
No worries!
No hands folded perfect
Like holding a lily
No pinchy shoes!
I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be!
