Why don't you stop
333006

And look me over
333007

Am I the same girl
You used to know
Why don't you stop
And think it over
Am I the same girl
Who you hurt so

I'm the one you want
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one you love
I'm the one you used to meet
333008

Around the corner ev'ry day
We would meet and slip away
But we were much too young
To love each other this way

Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Why don't you stop
And look me over
Am I the same girl
You used to know
Why don't you stop
And think it over
Am I the same girl
Who you hurt so
333009

I'm the one you want
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one who cried
I'm the one you used to meet
But you are pretending
You don't care
But the fire
Is still there
But we are not too young
To love each other this way
333010

Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Do you ever feel
The need for something more
With ev'rything come
Scratching at your door
333011

Do you ever stop and wonder
What it is you're searching for
Push your luck too far with me
But if you push it any farther
You won't have me, yeah
Why don't you stop
And think it over
Why don't you stop
And think it over
333012

Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl
Am I the same girl

You always send me on a music search.

That's cute, Biff . :)

And then, there was Peggy MacIntosh (from "Don Juan Beaver") ...

Yup, Peggy too.

Trivia: the Swing Out Sister version of the song is a remake.

Barbara Acklin did it in 1968, and one year later it was done as an instrumental. The instrumental had the biggest success, under a different title. I’m sure it’s on YouTube; look for “Soulful Strut” by Young-Holt Unlimited.

I remember that instrumental. Without looking it up, YHU might have been a one-hit wonder group.

Never made the connection between the songs. Thanks for the edumacation.

Thank you for the links and information on the song.

I hope that sending people on a music search hasn't been too much of a chore. I always think of "Breakout" first as far as the hits of Swing Out Sister.

The lyrics I quoted lack the "Yes I am, yes I am" refrains in the background. Those added something I liked to the song.

I'm a Veronica Cartwright fan as you may have guessed. She talked in recent years about how Fabian's tongue got more than a little ambitious when his character kissed hers on Daniel Boone. But while she remembered that transgression well, what she didn't realize until recently was that the kiss was never used in the show's final edit.

Thanks for the link. I finally checked and the song made number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

They had another song that made number 40 but it's a safe bet it got little airplay on the radio.

Veronica Cartwright - Amazing Career - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001021/

See Her in the Movie "Inserts" and you will see ALL of her at age 24 (NC 17) Adults Content for sure - with Richard Dreyfuss

For some reason, the disambiguation at the Wikipedia site refers to Inserts as a 1974 film, while the entry itself and IMDb do both say 1975 (and earliest release: Nov. '75). Veronica was born in April 1949, and the film's story was "written in 1972." It might be a little difficult to ascertain exactly how old she was at the time of filming; 24 may be very accurate.
