Eleanor McEvoy - Sophie

I
Sophie cannot finish her dinner
Says sheÂ’s eatinÂ’ enough
SophieÂ’s tryinÂ’ to make herself thinner
Says sheÂ’s eatinÂ’ too much
And her brother says, youÂ’re joking,
And her motherÂ’s heart is broken
Sophie has a hard time copinÂ’
And, besides, sophieÂ’s hopinÂ’

Chorus
She can be like all the other girls
Be just like all the other girls
LivinÂ’ in an ordinary world
Just to fit in, in the ordinary world
Just to fit in like an ordinary girl.

Ii
SophieÂ’s losinÂ’ weight by the minute
How did things get this bad?
SophieÂ’s family donÂ’t understand it
Gave her all that they had
And her sister wonÂ’t stop cryinÂ’
Â’cause her father says sheÂ’s dyinÂ’
Sophie says sheÂ’s really tryinÂ’
Problem is, sophieÂ’s lying.

Repeat chorus

How did she get this way?
How did she get this way?
Through tryinÂ’ to hide it.
What does it take to say,
What does it take to say
She’s dying, sophie’s dying to ¡­
