"That girl" by Nikki Coetzee

Verse 1
She's so perfect
I'm a mess
Washed out sneakers and a pretty sun dress
And I'm mean when I see her ’cause I tried to find her flaws
But all I see in her perfection is everything I'm not
And I know
Given the chance

Chorus
I'd rub the side of a lamp
Throw a coin down a well
Get a fairy-godmother
Cast a Cinderella spell
Make a wish upon a star
Ask for things to go my way
Just to be that girl...for a day

Verse 2
I'm the girl they overlooked in the back of the class
Raised my hand up first
Always picked dead last
And I'm small when I'm around her and she's the one to blame
Setting all those expectations with her high school fame
But I know
Given the chance

Chorus
I'd rub the side of a lamp
Throw a coin down a well
Get a fairy-godmother
Cast a Cinderella spell
Make a wish upon a star
Ask for things to go my way
Just to be that girl...for a day

Bridge
And as she signed my yearbook
Wrote her name down in pink
Crossed her "I" with a heart
Ends her sentence with a wink
She wrote a note next to my picture
Thought I knew what it said
But a tear dropped from my eye
I was shocked when I read

I'd rub the side of a lamp
Throw a coin down a well
Get a fairy-godmother
Cast a Cinderella spell
Make a upon a star
Ask for things to go my way
I don't wanna be that girl...just for today

Chorus
I'd rub the side of a lamp
Throw a coin down a well
Get a fairy-godmother
Cast a Cinderella spell
Make a wish upon a star
Ask for things to go my way
Just to be that girl...for a day

And I'd miss the way it was
But I still have to say
I would give it all up
Just to be that girl...for a day.
