Lyrics of I’m Not That Girl by Cynthia Erivo
verse
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
bridge
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
verse
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
outro
Don't wish, don′t start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There′s a girl I know
He loves her so, mm
I'm not that girl
Writer(s): Stephen Lawrence Schwartz
