I Am a Girl Like You Video (MV)

I'm savoring my first and last
Taste of freedom before getting
Married next week
To a total stranger

At least, you're not an indentured servant

Indentured servant?

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

Really?

Really
But it's all right
I mean, I'm used to it
And you?

Well

Well?

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

I'm just like you

(You are?)

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
I am a girl like you

So, you're a singer?

No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium

I love Madame Carp's dresses

I made the one you're wearing

You made this? The design looks so complicated

Oh, but it isn't really

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

But I'd never let my mother know
I wouldn't want to disappoint her

I completely understand

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
