I'm Not That Girl Lyrics
ELPHABA
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:
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
Ev'ry 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
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 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:
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:
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
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
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:
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 love the part where she says "Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart" because i think everyone's felt like that before. Awesome song! :)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I AM THE FIRST TO COMMENT!...... Ahem....sorry... I love this song it is so beautiful, Wicked is by far one of my top 3 musicals ever
Beautiful song.
Love this song... This song made me want to go see Wicked. Maybe next time it comes into town?
This song is so, so painfully true. Lovely!!
This song is beautiful- I love it. I think the meaning's pretty obvious; Elephaba wishes she was Galinda, cos she's popular and she's got the guy and everything.
Just beautiful. The lyrics explain themselves, really.
This song is beautiful & amazingly true for me :(... Really want to see this musical as the music is truely amazing!
I really enjoy this song, especially the part that says:
"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."
i sang this song my school and it came true and found out the meaning a few weeks before i performed it. i sang it with all my heart. and ill never say i regret it
