I really dislike the Swing Out Sister version of this song, but this doesn’t feel exactly right either... Still, it’s the right melody.
Why don't you stop and look me over?
Am I the same girl you used to know?
Why don't you stop and think it over?
Am I the same girl who knew your soul?
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 and look me over?
Am I the same girl you used to know?
Why don't you stop and think it over?
Am I the same girl who knew your soul?
I'm the one you hurt, and I'm the one you need
I'm the one who cried, the one you used to meet
But you're pretending like you don't care
But the fire is still there
Now we are 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", the original vocal version of Soulful Strut
