Like Other Girls
[Ting-Ting]
The life of a princess
From her birth is well defined
She must humbly serve her country
Play the part she's been assigned
She guards the hopes of her people
Weak and mighty, rich and poor
Who could ever ask for more?
[Su]
Who could ever ask for more?
[Ting-Ting and Su]
Who could ever ask for more?
[Mei]
I wanna be like other girls!
Climb up a tree like other girls can
[Mei and Su]
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be
[Mei and Su]
To slouch when I sit!
To eat a whole cake!
Feel the sun on my feet!
[Su]
Get dirty!
[Mei]
Act silly!
[Mei and Su]
Be anything I want to be
[Mei]
Dance around!
[Su]
In my underwear!
[Mei and Su]
To run really fast!
[Mei]
To get rid of this fan!
[Su]
To eat a whole cake!
[Mei]
Get crazy!
[Su]
With frosting!
[Mei and Su]
No escorts!
No manners!
No nursemaids!
No worries!
No hands folded perfect
Like holding a lily
[Ting-Ting]
No pinchy shoes?
[All three]
I wanna be like other girls
Scrape up my knee like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be
To speak for myself
[Su]
To sing way off key!
[All three]
Marry someone I've met who loves me for me
[Ting-Ting]
No escorts!
No manners!
[Mei and Ting-Ting]
No nursemaids!
No worries!
[All]
No hands folded perfect
Like holding a lily
No pinchy shoes!
I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be!
