"The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I've bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted
The watch I'm wearing
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me"

want to take care of a man, shejust wants to care for herself.

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes, then you're no
You're in, then you're out
You're up, then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

Those "cool kids" don't live on Mango street and I think that since Esperanza is ashamed of where lived, she didn't want people to know she was from Mango Street.

"There was a time I was one of a kind
Lost in the world out of me myself and I
Was lonely then like an alien
I tried but I never figured it out
Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd
Ooh that was then like an alien"

"I'm just like you
(I'm just like you)
You're just like me

It's something anyone can see
A heart that beats
(a heart that beats)
A voice that speaks the truth
Yes I am a girl like you."
