Not like other Girls Lyrics

I am not like other girls
I don't breathe for some days
I want you here and in my arms
I can't just smile and turn away
I can't just smile and turn away
I have prayed from a distance
Since you've been out of my reach
I can't hold onto reason
And practice what I preach
In my dreams we're together
And there is no one else in my heart
Love is stronger than leather
You should have known right from the start
I am not like other girls
I don't breathe for some days
I want you here and in my arms
I can't just smile and turn away
I can't just smile and turn away
I have made my decision
I will give into your kiss
I can't hide my emotions
Pretend you don't exist
In all my dreams we're together
And I can't get you out of my head
My love it floats like a feather
But it floats if you forget
I am not like other girls
I don't breathe for some days
I want you here and in my arms
I can't just smile and turn away
I can't just smile and turn away
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight
I am not like other girls
I don't breathe for some days
I want you here and in my arms
I can't just smile and turn away
I can't just smile and turn away
I can't just smile and turn away

I am not like other girls 
I don't breathe for some days 
I want you here and in my arms 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I have prayed from a distance 
Since you've been out of my reach 
I can't hold onto reason 
And practice what I preach 
In my dreams we're together 
And there is no one else in my heart 
Love is stronger than leather 
You should have known right from the start 
I am not like other girls 
I don't breathe for some days 
I want you here and in my arms 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I have made my decision 
I will give into your kiss 
I can't hide my emotions 
Pretend you don't exist 
In all my dreams we're together 
And I can't get you out of my head 
My love it floats like a feather 
But it floats if you forget 
I am not like other girls 
I don't breathe for some days 
I want you here and in my arms 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I can't just smile and turn away 
Ba ba ba ba ba 
Ba ba ba ba ba 
Ba ba ba ba ba 
Come with me tonight 
Come with me tonight 
I am not like other girls 
I don't breathe for some days 
I want you here and in my arms 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I can't just smile and turn away 
I can't just smile and turn away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
