Ordinary Girl - Papermoon

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…
