Sophie lyrics

Sophie cannot finish her dinner

She says she's eaten enough

Sophie's trying to make herself thinner

Says she's eating too much

And her brother says, "You're joking,"

And her mother's heart is broken

Sophie has a hard time coping

And, besides, Sophie's hoping

[Chorus:]

She can be like all the other girls

Be just like all the other girls

Living in an ordinary world

Just to fit in, in the ordinary world

Just to fit in like an ordinary girl.

Sophie's losing weight by the minute

How did things get this bad?

Sophie's family, they don't understand it

Gave her all that they had

And her sister won't stop crying

'Cause her father says she's dying

Sophie says she's really trying

Problem is, Sophie's lying.

[Chorus]

She can be like all the other girls

Be just like all the other girls

Living in an ordinary world

Just to fit in, to the ordinary world

Just to fit in like an ordinary girl

How did she get this way?

How did she get this way?

Through trying to hide it.

What does it take to say,

What does it take to say

She's dying, Sophie's dying too­

[Chorus]

... Be like all the other girls

Be just like all the other girls

Living in an ordinary world

Just to fit in, to the ordinary world

Just to fit in and be like all the other girls

Be just like all the other girls

Living in an ordinary world

Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
