Not Myself Today (From “Freaky Friday” the Disney Channel Original Movie)
[KATHERINE:]
I was ready to be grown up
Just waiting for the day
And now I am, I'm freaking!
Does mommy feel this way?

See, they think that I have answers
They look to me to guide
They see this old, old woman
But there's a little girl inside

I'm not myself today
I'm in a funny way
I'm not the thing they think they see

This alpha mommy, she's not me
They want a woman I can't be
And words that I can't say
I'm not myself, I'm not myself today

[ELLIE:]
They are all so condescending
It's really not okay
They smile and call me "sweetheart"
Does Ellie feel this way?
See, if only they would listen
I could get the search on track
But when they hear me talking
They just think I'm talking back

I'm not myself tonight
And more than me's not right
'Cause Fletcher's lost and so am I

It's not that often, by-the-by
I wish I were a six foot guy!
But I wanna win this fight
I'm not myself, I'm not myself tonight

[TORREY:]
If I had a kid
And the kid ran away
I'd hunt him down and kill him
Oh no!
What a thing to say!

If I had a kid and the kid ran away
I would find him, I would hold him
And then I'd kill him! Okay?!
I'm sorry!
I'm not myself today!
[KATHERINE:]
I'm not myself today!

[ELLIE:]
I'm not myself today!

[TORREY:]
I'm not myself!

[KATHERINE:]
I'm not myself today!

[ELLIE:]
I'm not myself today!

[BOTH:]
I'm in over way
I know I should be standing tall

[KATHERINE:]
I've never felt so young and small

[ELLIE:]
It breaks my heart to hear them call

[BOTH:]
When there's nothing I can say
[KATHERINE:]
I'm not the woman I thought I was

[ELLIE:]
I'm not the woman I wished I'd be

[KATHERINE;]
I'm not myself

[ELLIE:]
I'm not myself

[KATHERINE & ELLIE:]
Today

[TORREY]
Hey Fletcher!
Fletcher!

[EVERYONE}
Hey!
