Original Girl

(album: Melissa O'Neil - 2005)

An ordinary girl in a boring world
Is that what you're looking for?
A girl who follows trends
Dresses like her friends
Who'd do anything to fit in
So you measure me, cause you need to be sure I'll look good on your arm
I'm not a doll, not packaged at all
What are you looking for?

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me
Is an original girl

I'm a quirky girl in an offbeat world
I'm up close and personal
I do the weirdest things
I'm not too shy to sing
So, la la la la la la
Got my own ideas, unique smile
My own things that give me style
No warranty, can you handle that?
Cause you know you can't take me back

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me
Is an original girl

I think you watch too much TV
Cause you got no idea what a girl's supposed to be
And I'm gonna be myself

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me
Is an original girl
