[Verse 1]
Take me as I am
Though I'm good at pretending
I tire easily and hurry to the ending
There's more than what you see
But not the way you see it
I hope you follow me
And you get the meaning

[Chorus]
Here is where I stand
Here is who I am
And I'm not interested in fitting in
I only want to be, to be this girl
I'm not interested in giving in
I only want to be this girl

[Verse 2]
Take me as you will
Under no illusions
I offer myself whole
I give into you
And I offer you the sky
The sun and moon and seas
But you need to know that
I'm not more or less than me

[Chorus]
Here is where I stand
Here is who I am
And I'm not interested in fitting in
I only want to be, to be this girl
I'm not interested in giving in
I only want to be this girl
I'm not interested in fitting in
I only want to be, to be this girl
I'm not interested in giving in
I only want to be this girl
Oooh, ooh, this girl

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
