Girls With My Same Name

there was a mistake at the hospital when i was a baby
& they sent me home with the wrong family
these people loved me a lot, but they never named me
everybody called me baby maybe

i can't believe, can't believe
there's so many things i'm supposed to act like i know
i can't believe, can't believe
there's so many things i'm supposed to act like i know
when i don't

i made a mistake when i told you the truth
reven after you asked me not to
but i decided the truth is more like a loose tooth
which bugged me til i pulled it out at the root

now who the hell knows, who the hell knows
what's going to grow in its place
now who the hell knows, who the hell knows
what's going to grow in its place
i sure don't

don't bully me, don't bully me
i'll answer you when i'm ready
cuz every answer you gave to me
was just sugar used to cover weak coffee

now i will marry a michael
i will marry a christopher
i will marry sarah and jonathan and jennifer
we'll all fall asleep, have one dream
& everybody will shout and scream

for all the girls with my same name
all the girls with my same name
for all the boys with my same name
all the girls with my same name
for freaks & queers with my same name
for kids in the library on a sunny day
for everybody who ever takes
the empty hand the fire escape
for all the girls with my same name
all the girls with my same name
