Lyrics Ordinary Girl - Papermoon

Ordinary Girl

When I was just eight years old
My mother came to me and thatÂ's what she told me:
«YouÂ're somehow different, I donÂ't know why
But if you want youÂ'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 canÂ't I be the same
I came to school, felt like emprisoned
The teachers taught me things I didnÂ't want to know
Felt like a fool, couldnÂ't find the reason
To learn Â'bout algebra instead of Marilyn Monroe
When I went out and everyone was partyinÂ'
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…
