In Another World
Somewhere far away from here 
 There is another girl
 Somewhere far away from here
 In a very different world
 She’s blonde and blue-eyed just like me 
 But she’s another girl
 Perfect, glitzy and high-tech
 Is her other world
 No heartbreak, no unhappiness
 For this other girl
 No financial difficulties
 In this other world
 No stress and no bad feelings
 For this other girl
 No obstacles to dreams are there
 In this other world
 Why cannot I be the soul
 That is that other girl?
 Why must I live here instead
 Of that other perfect world? 
 Why cannot I have the life
 Of this carefree girl?
 Why cannot I live in a place
 Like her touch-screen world?
 Why cannot I be as lucky 
 As the other girl?
 Why cannot I take her place
 In that well-run world?
 Why cannot I have a place
 In that perfect world?
 Why must I stay right here
 And be such an imperfect girl?
