VIOLET
I want to be like everyone else
So no one will point and stare
To walk down the street
Not attracting attention
No notice, no mention
No hint of despair
A normal reaction
A standard response
The same as everyone wants
DAISY
I want to be like everyone else
I want to be like everyone else
But richer and more acclaimed
Worshipped and celebrated
Pampered and loved
To see those who've laughed
Feeling ashamed
A glorious, frantic
Adoring response
The same as everyone wants
I'd go abroad
See all the sights
Hear folks applaud
Bow to the lights
VIOLET
I'd settle down
Never to roam
Find a nice husband and home
I want to be
DAISY
I want to be
BOTH
Like everyone else
But not like my sister says
DAISY
She wants stability
VIOLET
She would like fame
I'd like serenity
DAISY
Frenzied acclaim
BOTH
Though we can't agree
Though we can't agree
On a single response
We want what everyone wants
Only what everyone wants
The same as everyone wants
