Hands touch eyes meet

Sudden silence sudden heat

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl

He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl

I'm not that girl

Blithe smile lithe limb

She who's winsome she wins him

Gold hair with a gentle curl

That's the girl he chose

And heaven knows

I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far

Don't lose sight of who you are

Don't remember that rush of joy

He could be that boy

I'm not that girl

Every so often we long to steal

To the land of what might have been

But that doesn't soften the ache we feel

When reality sets back in

Don't wish don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl

There's a girl I know

He loves her so

I'm not that girl

I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far

Don't lose sight of who you are

I'm not that girl

I won't wish

And I won't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

I'm not that girl

I won't dream

But I'm gonna pray

That maybe someday

I'll be that girl
