One Jump Ahead - Brad Kane & Lea Salonga

Gotta keep One jump ahead of the breadline One swing ahead of the sword I steal only what I can't afford And that's everything One jump ahead of the lawmen That's all, and that's no joke These guys don't appreciate I'm broke Riffraff Street rat Scoundrel Take that Try a different tact, guys Rip him open 'Round the back, guys I can take a hint Gotta face the facts Could really use a friend or two Huh? Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom He's become a one-man rise in crime I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time One jump ahead of the slowpokes One skip ahead of my doom Next time gonna use a nom de plume One jump ahead of the hitmen One hit ahead of the flock I think I'll take a stroll around the block Stop, thief Vandal Abu Scandal Let's not be too hasty Still I think he's rather tasty Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along Wrong! One jump ahead of the hoofbeats One hop ahead of the hump One trick ahead of disaster They're quick, but I'm much faster Here goes Better throw my hand in Wish me happy landing All I gotta do is jump

Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see that if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide Who I am, though I've tried When will my reflection show Who I am inside? How I pray that a time will come I can free myself and meet their expectations On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself And to make my family proud They want a docile lamb No one knows who I am Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
