Lyrics[]
Ellie:
I don't need to live all large
I just like to be in charge
Of things I do and eat
And how I dress
Katherine:
Oh my dear, I wish you knew
All the work I have to do
Just to keep you in your munchies and your mess
Ellie:
If you knew what I go through...
Katherine:
If you knew what I go through...
Ellie:
Walked a day in my own shoes...
Katherine:
Worked a day in grown-up shoes...
Ellie:
Well then, maybe you would see...
Katherine:
You would see and learn that that's why I can't say yes!
Ellie:
And you would just say yes!
If you knew what I go through, how it's hellishly unfair
Katherine:
Oh, I'd love to be in school, have a day without a care
Both:
How I wish you'd understand and see the world my way
Ellie:
For just one day...
Katherine:
For just one day...
Ellie:
For just one day...
Katherine:
For just one day...
Both:
For just, one, day...
I don't need to live all large
I just like to be in charge
Of the things I do or eat
And how I dress
Oh my dear I wish you knew
All the work I have to do
Just to keep you in your munchies
And your mess
If you knew what I go through
(If you knew what I go through)
Walked a day in my own shoe
(Worked a day in grown-up shoes)
Well then, maybe you would see
(You would see and learn)
And you would just say yes!
(That that's why I can't say yes!)
If you knew what I go through
How it's brutally unfair
I'd love to be in school
Have a day without a care
How I wish you'd understand
And see the world my way
For just one day (just one day)
Just one day (just one day)
Just, one, daaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
