The Hourglass by Emma Hunton Lyrics

[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...
