[ELLIE]
I don't need to live all large
I just like to be in charge
Of things I do and eat
And how I dress
[KATHERINE]
Oh my dear, I wish you knew
All the work I have to do
Just to keep you in your munchies and your mess
[ELLIE]
If you knew what I go through...
[KATHERINE]
If you knew what I go through...
[ELLIE]
Walked a day in my own shoes...
[KATHERINE]
Worked a day in grown-up shoes...
[ELLIE]
Well then, maybe you would see...
[KATHERINE]
You would see and learn that that's why I can't say yes!
[ELLIE]
And you would just say yes!
If you knew what I go through, how it's hellishly unfair
[KATHERINE]
Oh, I'd love to be in school, have a day without a care
[BOTH]
How I wish you'd understand and see the world my way
[ELLIE]
For just one day...
[KATHERINE]
For just one day...
[ELLIE]
For just one day...
[KATHERINE]
For just one day...
[BOTH]
For just, one, daaaaaaaaaaaa...
