Love that girl ((that i want to be))

I understand completely,
why you can't love me for me,
but would you do me a favor?
love the girl i want to be?

Would she be good enough,
good enough for you?
I swear, she's really pretty,
she's wonderful, it's true

And I know i'm not that girl,
I'm not even close,
but could you do me a favor,
love her when she shows?

Would you kiss her on the cheek?
Maybe for a minute, hold her hand?
I'm sure that girl would love to be held,
I'm sure she'll be awfully grand

I bet she'd be good at dancing,
and she could always bring a smile to your face
she'd always be a happy girl,
not a clutz, but instead filled with grace

So do me a favor,
if ever you see,
try to love that girl
that i'm trying to be
