First recorded in 1968 by Barbara Acklin, “Am I the Same Girl” charted most successfully in the US as a 1992 release by Swing Out Sister. However the song had its greatest impact as a 1968-69 instrumental hit single by Young-Holt Unlimited under the title “Soulful Strut”.
Although Barbara Acklin —...
Why don't you stop (stop)
And look me over
(Look me over)
Am I the same girl
You used to know
Why don't you stop (stop)
And think it over
(Think it over)
Am I the same girl
Whom you hurt so
I'm the one you want
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one you love
The one you used to meet
Around the corner every day
We would meet and slip away
But we were much too young
To love each other this way
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Why don't you stop (stop)
And look me over
(Look me over)
Am I the same girl
You used to know
Why don't you stop (stop)
And think it over
(Think it over)
Am I the same girl
Whom you hurt so
I'm the one you hurt
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one who cried
I'm the one you used to meet
But you are pretending
You don't care
And the fire is still there
But we were no longer too young
To love each other this way
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Am I the same girl
Yes, I am, yes, I am
