Like Everyone Else Lyrics

[TERRY]
What are your dreams?
What are you longing for?

[VIOLET]
I want to be like everyone else
So no one will point and stare
To walk down the street not attracting attention
No notice, no mention, no hint of despair
A normal reaction
A standard response
The same as everyone wants

[DAISY]
I want to be like everyone else
But richer and more acclaimed
Worshipped and celebrated
Pampered and loved
To see those who've laughed
Feeling ashamed
A glorious frantic, adoring response
The same as everyone wants

I'd go abroad
See all the sights
Hear folks applaud
Bow to the lights

[VIOLET]
I'd settle down
Never to roam
Find a nice husband and home!

[DAISY]
I want to be

[VIOLET]
I want to be

[DAISY & VIOLET]
Like everyone else
But not like my sister says

[DAISY]
She wants stability

[VIOLET]
She would like fame
I'd like serenity

[DAISY]
Frenzied acclaim

[DAISY & VIOLET]
Though we can't agree on a single response
We want what everyone wants
Only what everyone wants
The same as everyone wants
