Barbie — 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, 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? It's my favorite. The design looks so complicated! [ERIKA, spoken] Oh, but it isn't really [ANNELIESE, ERIKA, ANNELIESE & 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! I wear the gown without my crown And dance around my room And imagine life without the strife Of an unfamiliar groom [ANNELIESE, spoken] But I'd never let my mother know. I wouldn't want to 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
