Am A Girl Like You

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
I’m savoring my first and last taste of freedom
Before getting married next week to a total stranger...

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
At least you’re not an indentured servant.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
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 and still I get
An omlette on my plate
But in my head I'm back in bed
Snuggled up and sleeping late

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
Really?

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Really, but it’s alright. I mean, I’m used to it.
And you?

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
Well...

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
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 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

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 (SPOKEN):
So! You’re a singer?

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
No, I work at Madame Carp’s penitentiary, uh, I mean Dress Emporium.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
I love Madame Carp’s Dresses!

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
I made the one you’re wearing.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
You made this? The design looks so complicated!

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Oh, but it isn’t really...

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

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
I wear the gown, without my crown
And dance around my room

BOTH:
And imagine life without the strife of an unfamiliar groom

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
But I’d never let my Mother know.
I wouldn’t want to disappoint her.

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
I completely understand.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE & (ERIKA):
I'm just like you (I think that's true)
You're just like me (Yes, I can see)

BOTH:
We take responsibility

PRINCESS ANNELIESE & (ERIKA):
We carry through (We carry through)

BOTH:
Do what we need to do
Yes, I am a girl like you

ERIKA & (PRINCESS ANNELIESE):
I'm just like you (I'm just like you)
You're just like me (You're just like me)

BOTH:
It's something anyone can see

ERIKA & (PRINCESS ANNELIESE):
A heart that beats (A heart that beats)

BOTH:
A voice that speaks the truth
Yes, I am a girl like you!

To Be A Princess

JULIAN (SPOKEN):
Now remember,
No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping,
Slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed.
Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud.

JULIAN:
To be a princess
Is to know which spoon to use
To be a princess
Is to own a thousand pairs of shoes
To maintain a regal gait
Leave the parsley on your plate
And be charming but detached
And yet amused
To be a princess
Is to never be confused

Do a pli� and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol
All through the day
There's just one way
You must behave
Do keep a grip and never crack
Stiff upper lip and arch the back
Bend from above
And always wear your gloves
And wave

Shoulders back and
Tummy in and
Pinky out and
Lift the chin and
Slowly turn the head from side to side

ERIKA:
I see now

JULIAN:
Breathing gently
Stepping lightly
Smile brightly
Nod politely
Never show a thing you feel inside
Glide!

To be a princess
Is to always look your best
To be a princess
Is to never get to rest
Sit for a portrait, never squirm
Sleep on a mattress extra firm
Speak and be clever
Never at a loss for words
Curtsy to every count and lord
Learn how to play the harpsichord
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds

BOTH:
Thirds, thirds

JULIAN:
And
She has beautiful eyes
Your spirits rise
When she walks in the room

ERIKA:
I see

JULIAN:
Doors close
And the chemistry grows
She's like a rose
That's forever in bloom

JULIAN & (ERIKA):
Do a pli� and don't
(Ever ever ever fall)
Never show dismay
(And be there when people call)
Be prepared whatever royal life will bring
Do keep a grip and don't
(Ever ever ever crack)
Take a dainty sip
(Never ever turn your back)
There's a time and place and way for everything

To be a princess
Is to never make your bed
To be a princess
Is to always use your head

Everyone has got a secret side
A winding path that's through a door
that's open wide
You think you know me
But I’m changing all the time
Cause if I wanna be sweet, if I wanna be wild
If I wanna cry like a child
If I pick up the world in the palm of my hand
I guess that’s just who I am

Chorus:
This is me, can’t ignore it
Reaching out, breaking free
Constantly(constantly), falling forward
Yeah, I’m just going for it
This is me

Sometimes life is a confusing thing
When I talk it seems like no one’s listening
Try to be an angel, but I just can’t find my wings
'Cuz I wanna be sweet, but I wanna be wild
And I wanna find my own style
So l make a mistake, then I do it again
But I do it the best I can

[Chorus]

More than what you see
Finding out who I can be

[Chorus x2]

This is me, can’t ignore it
Reaching out,Breaking free
Constantly(constantly),Falling forward
Yeah, I’m just going for it
This is me
