Sophie cannot finish her dinner
Says she's eating enough
Sophie's trying to make herself thinner
Says she's eating too much
And her brother says, "You're joking"
And her mother's heart is broken
Sophie has a hard time coping
And, besides, Sophie's hoping

She can be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, in the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl

Sophie's losing weight by the minute
How did things get this bad?
Sophie's family don't understand it
Gave her all that they had
And her sister won't stop crying
'Cause her father says she's dying
Sophie says she's really trying
Problem is, Sophie's lying

She can be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, in the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl

How'd she get this way?
How'd she get this way?
Through trying to hide it
What does it take to say?
What does it take to say?
She's dying, Sophie's dying 

To be like all the other girls
Just like all the other girls
Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in to the ordinary world
Just to fit in and be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls

Living in an ordinary world
Just to fit in to the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl
