Menzel, Idina - I'm Not That Girl Lyrics






Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...

  1. a.... g....

    Oh no 😟

  2. D.... s....

    She could be that girl...but I not that girl

  3. M.... R....

    Wow this performance was FKDUP!!!!😭😭😭 absolutely stunning

  4. G.... G....

    Heart-wrenching

  5. M.... O....

    Ms Mojo sent me here. Playing Elphaba in New York and London May have done something to Idina’s vocals. But she’s still got it! Because if she still can’t sing beautifully as she did when she was younger, Idina would have never been Elsa.

  6. E.... C....

    Please listen to my cover of this beautiful song! https://soundcloud.com/emmarose_music/im-not-that-girl-cover

  7. C.... C....

    This is definitely the saddest song in the wicked song set.

  8. R.... M....

    way too much makeup. scary

    R.... M....

    You're seeing stage makeup on film. It's exactly the right amount. Maybe you should try it.

  9. C.... N....

    This song relates to me because ever since I was in elementary school wanted to be a broadway star. I feel it every day in my gut. Everyday, all day, that’s all I think about. The problem is is that people have so much more talent than me, and I’m a soprano in my head voice but an alto/mezzo in chest voice so singing musical theater has always been tough for me. These components together make me relate so much to this song.

    C.... N....

    Never give up hope!! You can do anything you set your mind to. If you want to go for it, go for it

  10. C.... B....

    Who are these 17 terrible people who disliked

  11. R.... M....

    Horrible, horrible song.

  12. s.... s....

    It's Elsa

    s.... s....

    shaylen sanders I’ve been a fan of this women long before Frozen sent her stardom to the stratosphere of showbiz.

  13. A.... V....

    One of my favorite songs from Wicked 😭

    This is hard to face Reality the song is like this

  15. m.... ....

    I just have to come to terms that he is that boy but I’m not that girl! 😢💔

  16. R.... C....

    De fato um hino pra quem faz papel de trouxa

  17. A.... A....

    Anyone imagining Elsa singing this?

    A.... A....

    Actually, I do! I imagine her being compared to Anna by their parents because she is the bright and funny while Elsa is more of the introvert one.

  18. B.... R....

    This still gives me chills to listen to. So amazing.

  19. M.... ....

    I cry when I hear this song

  20. W.... A....

    "Don't dream, too far. Don't lose sight of...who you are..."

  25. O.... B....

    This is the most underrated songs in wicked

    O.... B....

    This is the song that made me bawl my eyes out when I went to see wicked.

    O.... B....

    Hands touch, eyes meet
    Sudden silence, sudden heat
    Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
    He could be that boy
    But I'm not that girl

    Don't dream too far
    Don't lose sight of who you are
    Don't remember that rush of joy
    He could be that boy
    I'm not that girl

    Ev'ry so often we long to steal
    To the land of what-might-have-been
    But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
    When reality sets back in

    Blithe smile, lithe limb
    She who's winsome, she wins him
    Gold hair with a gentle curl
    That's the girl he chose
    And Heaven knows
    I'm not that girl

    'Lat's the girl he chose'? o.o 1:55

  31. A.... R....

    *Typically Star Butterfly after BBTBC

    A.... R....

    ha i caught you singing im not a girl

    A.... R....

    omg legIT HALF THE REASON WHY IM SO EMOTIONAL RN

    *no, i havent gotten over that episode, i dont think i ever will
    **the other half is because i've been star after bbtbc since 2015 woop

    A.... R....

    Antrivictrianne Gamboa yesssss

    A.... R....

    *Typically Star Butterfly after Just Friends

    A.... R....

    I was not expecting to find a comment like this....

    But I'm still not over the season 2 finale, and now after the season 3 teaser trailer/sneak peak I'm freaking out even more. How is this show so good at suspense and cliffhangers? It's painful.

  32. C.... M....

    I love her Barefoot at the Symphony concert. She is so real here.

    C.... M....

    Colleen Marsh This is actually the second portion of the concert I’ve watched.

  33. S.... ....

    When she pauses and bows he head in the end, I truly believe that she is personnally feeling the hurt and rejection in the song. Could that girl have been Amanza Smith Brown?

    S.... ....

    Sueseajoy it's acting. If you believe it, that means she's a good actor.

  34. K.... S....

    This hits too close to my current situation

    K.... S....

    Sorry 😞

  35. c.... ....

    Hands touch, eyes meet

  37. n.... ....

    she doesn't just sing the songs she lives them and that's what makes her so special

  38. r.... g....

    Her voice is like silk

  39. p.... ....

    why didn't they put it in the CD????????? She is so emotional, beautiful voice and lyrics equals PERFECTION!!!

  40. S.... G....

    she has the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard and I also get the message in the song who has not felt this way at some point in their lives thinking about what might have been if this person had cosen them instead of the person they are with.

  41. R.... M....

    No one sings this more beautifully and in a more heart-wrenching way! Idina, you are perfection!
