As recorded by BARBARA ACKLIN:



Why don't you stop (Stop)

And look me over (Look me over)

Am I the same girl

You used to know


Why don't you stop (Stop)

And think it over (Think it over)

Am I the same girl

Who knew her soul


I'm the one you want (The one you want)

And I'm the one you need (The one you need)

I'm the one you love (The one you love)

The one you used to meet


Around the corner every day

We would meet and slip away

But we were much too young (Too young)

To love each other this way


Am I the same girl

Yes, I am, yes, I am

Am I the same girl

Yes, I am, yes, I am


(Instrumental Break)


Why don't you stop (Stop)

And look me over (Look me over)

Am I the same girl

You used to know


Why don't you stop (Stop)

And think it over (Think it over)

Am I the same girl

Who knew her soul


I'm the one you hurt (The one you hurt)

And I'm the one you need (The one you need)

I'm the one who cried (The one who cried)

The one you used to meet


But you are pretending you don't care

And the fire, oh, it's still there

But we are no longer too young  (Too young)

To love each other this way


Am I the same girl

Yes, I am, yes, I am

Am I the same girl

Yes, I am, yes, I am


Am I the same girl

Yes, I am, yes, I am

Am I the same ........... FADE
