[Princess Anneliese:] I'm savoring a first and last taste of freedom before getting married next week. To a total stranger... [Erika:] At least you're not an indentured servant. Princess Anneliese: An indentured servant?
[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 omelet on my plate But in my head I'm back in bed Snuggled up and sleeping late
[Princess Anneliese:] Really? [Erika:] Really. But it's all right; I mean, I'm used to it. And you? [Princess Anneliese:] Well... [Erika:] Well?
[Princess 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 the 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
[Princess Anneliese:] 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
[Princess Anneliese:] So, you're a singer? [Erika:] No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary. Uh, I mean, dress importium. [Princess Anneliese:] I love Madame Carp's dresses! [Erika:] I made the one your wearing... [Princess Anneliese:] You made this? The design looks so complicated.
[Erika:] Oh, but it isn't really. First I chose 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
[Princess Anneliese:] I wear that gown Without my crown And dance around my room
[Both:] And image life without the strife Of an unfamiliar groom!
[Princess Anneliese:] But I'd never let my mother know. I wouldn't want to disappoint her. [Erika:] I completely understand.
[Princess Anneliese:] I'm just like you
[Erika:] I think that's true
[Princess Anneliese:] You're just like me
[Erika:] Yes I can see
[Both:] We take responsibility
[Princess Anneliese:] We carry through
[Erika:] We carry through
[Both:] Do what we need to do Yes I am a girl like you
[Erika:] I'm just like you
[Princess Anneliese:] I'm just like you
[Erika:] You're just like me
[Princess Anneliese:] You're just like me
[Both:] It's something anyone can see
[Princess Anneliese:] A heart that beats
[Erika:] A he art that beats
[Both:] A voice that speaks the truth Yes I am a girl like you!
