Song Lyrics

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
(Who could ever ask for)
Who could ever ask for
More

I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be

To slouch when I sit
To eat a whole cake
Feel the sun on my feet

Get dirty
Act silly
Be anything I want to be
To dance around
In my underwear

To run really fast
To get rid of this fan
To eat a whole cake
Get crazy
With frosting

No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worries
No hands folded perfect
Like holding a lily

No pinchy shoes

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
To sing way off-key
Marry someone I've met
Who loves me for me

No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worries
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
