Paper Moon Ordinary Girl Lyrics

When I was just eight years old
My mother came to me and that´s what she told me:
"You´re somehow different, I don´t know why,
but if you want you´ll reach the sky"

I grew up, searching my place
but soon I felt I was from outer space
What I needed was a friend
but no one really could understand me

I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
why can´t I be the same

I came to school, felt like emprisoned
the teachers taught me things I didn´t want to know
Felt like a fool, couldn´t find the reason to learn ´bout algebra instead of Marilyn Monroe

When I went out and everyone was partyin´
was only me who felt like in the wrong place
I always wanted to be like everybody
with average thoughts and an average face

I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
why can´t I be the same

I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
why can´t I be the same
