The TV says I’m not the girl that I should be
It drives me crazy
I’m not impressed; it isn’t what I want to be
So call me lazy

Operator, Operator
Don’t call me; I’ll call you later
Operator, Operator
I’m just fine; I’ll call you later

Why would I want to be anybody else but me
I’m never gonna fake it
Why would I ever be anybody else but me
I know I’m gonna make it
Without a doubt, I know what I’m about
I’m everything I’ll ever want to be
A girl like me
A girl like me

The magazines are messing with reality
It’s entertaining
As long as we don’t ever take it seriously
We’ll keep on laughing

Operator, Operator
Don’t call me; I’ll call you later
Operator, Operator
I’m just fine; I’ll call you later

Why would I want to be anybody else but me
I’m never gonna fake it
Why would I ever be anybody else but me
I know I’m gonna make it
Without a doubt, I know what I’m about
I’m everything I’ll ever want to be
A girl like me

I don’t want to lose control
I don’t want to sell my soul
I don’t want to be no jazztic, spastic, superficial plastic clone

Operator, Operator
Don’t call me; I’ll call you later
Operator, Operator
I’m just fine; I’ll call you later

Why would I want to be anybody else but me
I’m never gonna fake it
Why would I ever be anybody else but me
I know I‘m gonna make it
Why would I want to be just another wannabe
I’m never gonna be, never ever gonna be
Without a doubt, I know what I’m about
I’m everything I’ll ever want to be
A girl like me (repeat)
