The City Limits - Ordinary Girl

She pretends to herself as she looks at her image in the mirror
She imagines film star chic ‘cause oh, she thinks she’s such a winner
In her dreams she can do nothing wrong
You know the people queue to see her walk along the street
And when the pressure’s on, well she can take the heat

Because she’s really just an Ordinary Girl
So mixed up her head is always in a whirl
Even though she tries so hard
The boys they all have little regard
And the world she wants to leave behind
The one that seems so blind, to an Ordinary Girl

And even though the dress is like the one she saw in Vogue
She doesn’t understand why she’s not followed down the road
Her tears cause her mascara to run
You know her, lipstick is dull now; no shine lingers on, in her smile
That holds no future, at least not for a while

Because she’s really just an Ordinary Girl …

And though she longs to see her picture in the early evening news
She’s only sixteen now so, what’s she got to lose?
Not for her a married life, can’t see herself as an ordinary wife
In an ordinary world no - how she despises all those ordinary girls

Cause she’s a star in her own sweet way, another coat of foundation
And then perhaps she’ll stay; as she wanted it all to be
Cause she’s different to you and she’s different to me
And the world she wants to leave behind
The one that seems so blind, to an Ordinary Girl

She’s just an Ordinary Girl…
