She wished she was another person living in another place
She wished she had another face and something good to say
She wished she was another person living in another place
She wished she had another face and something else to wear today

But the life of her dreams is not what it seems
It’s empty and mostly fake
In her palace of things, the ballad she sings is too sad for me to take
Baby, give me a break

She wished she was another person living in another place
She wished she had another face and someone else’s name today

She tried on a few but they wouldn’t do
They quickly went out of date
Now she’s stuck in her skin all over again
What an appalling fate
Such an appalling fate
Baby I can relate

She wished she was another person
Living in another place
She wished she had another face
And someone else’s name
