Lyrics Barbie Princess And The Pauper - I Am A Girl Like You

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

Anneliese (speaking)-
Really?

Erika (speaking)-
Really. But it's all right
I mean, I'm used to it
And you?

Anneliese (speaking)-
Well...

Erika (speaking)-
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 (speaking)-
(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 (speaking)-
So, you're a singer?

Erika (speaking)-
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium

Anneliese (speaking)-
I love Madame Carp's dresses!
Erika (speaking)-
I made the one you're wearing

Anneliese (speaking)-
You made this? It's my favorite. The design looks so complicated!

Erika (speaking)-
Oh, but it isn't really

(sings)
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 my gown
Without my crown
And dance around my room

Both-
And imagine life without the strife
Of an unfamiliar groom

Anneliese (speaking)-
But I'd never let my mother know
I wouldn't want to disappoint her
Erika (speaking)-
I completely understand

Anneliese-
I'm just like you

Erika-
(I think that's true)

Anneliese-
You're just like me

Erika-
(Yes I can see)

Both-
We take responsibility

Anneliese-
We carry through

Erika-
(We carry through)

Both-
Do what we need to go
Yes I am a girl like you

Anneliese-
I'm just like you

Erika-
(I'm just like you)

Anneliese-
You're just like me

Erika-
(You're just like me)

Both-
It's something anyone can see

Anneliese-
A heart that beats

Erika-
(a heart that beats)

Both-
A voice that speaks the truth
Yes I am a girl like you
