Barbie As The Princess And The Pauper- I’m A Girl Like You
[Verse 1]
Erika:
C F Em F
If I'd like to have my breakfast hot
Am C
Madame Carp will make me pay,
C F Em F
And I have to fetch the eggs myself
Am C
And the barn's a mile away.
Dm
It's cold and wet
E Am D
But still I get an omelette on my plate,
C F Em F
But in my head I'm back in bed
Am C
Snuggled up and sleeping late.
[Spoken]
G D A
Anneliese:
Really?
Erika:
Really. But it's all right. I mean, I'm used to it.
And you?
Anneliese:
Well...
Erika:
Well?
[Verse 2]
Anneliese:
C F Em F
If I want some eggs I ring the bell
Am C
And the maid comes running in,
C F Em F
And she serves them on a silver tray
Am C
And she brings a cookie tin.
Dm E
And while I eat, she rubs my feet
Am D
And strolling minstrels play,
C F Em F
But I'd rather be in my library
Am C
Reading science books all day.
[Interlude]
Am G | Dsus4 D
[Chorus]
Erika:
C
I'm just like you
Anneliese:
(you are?)
Erika:
G
You're just like me
C G
There's somewhere else we'd rather be
D
Somewhere that’s ours
Em
Somewhere that dreams come true
C D
Yes I am a girl like you.
C G
You'd never think that it was so
C G
But now I've met you and I know,
D
It's plain as day
Em
Sure as the sky is blue
C G
I am a girl like you.

Anneliese:
So, you're a singer?
Erika:
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary.
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium.
Anneliese:
I love Madame Carp's dresses!
Erika:
I made the one you're wearing.
Anneliese:
You made this? The design looks so complicated!
Erika:
Oh, it isn't really.
[Verse]
Erika:
C F Em F
First I choose a fabric from the rack
Am C
And I pin the pattern down,
C F Em F
And I stitch it in the front and back
Am C
And it turns into a gown!
Anneliese:
Dm
I wear my gown
E
Without my crown
Am D
And dance around my room
Both
C F Em F
And imagine life without the strife
Am C
Of an unfamiliar groom.
[Spoken]
G D D/A
Anneliese:
But I'd never let my mother know.
I wouldn't want to disappoint her.
Erika:
I completely understand.
[Chorus]
Anneliese:
C
I'm just like you
Erika:
(I think that's true)
Anneliese:
G
You're just like me
Erika:
(Yes I can see)
Both:
C G
We take responsibility
Anneliese:
D
We carry through
Erika:
(We carry through)
Both:
Em G
Do what we need to go.
C D
Yes I am a girl like you.
Anneliese:
C
I'm just like you
Erika:
(I'm just like you)
Anneliese:
G
You're just like me
Erika:
(You're just like me)
Both:
C G
It's something anyone can see
Anneliese:
D
A heart that beats
Erika:
(a heart that beats)
Both:
Em G
A voice that speaks the truth
C G
Yes I am a girl like you.
