Why don't you stop And look me over Am I the same girl you used to know? Why don't you stop And think it over Am I the same girl who knew your soul? I'm the one you want And I'm the one you need I'm the one you love I'm the one you used to meet Around the corner Everyday We would meet And slip away But we were much too young To love each other this way Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Why don't you stop And look me over Am I the same girl you used to know? Why don't you stop And think it over Am I the same girl who knew your soul? I'm the one you hurt And I'm the one you need I'm the one who cried I'm the one you used to meet But you are pretending you don't care But the fire is still there Now we are no longer too young To love each other this way Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Have you ever felt the need for something more With every week comes scratching at your door Have you ever stopped and wonder what it is you're searching for Push your luck too far with me But if you push it any further You won't have any Am I the same girl? Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am)

A canção foi composta por Eugene Record e Sonny Sanders, encontrando sua primeira versão vocal nas mãos da cantora e compositora de soul americana Barbara Acklin em 1968.
Embora tenha sido lançada pela primeira vez em 1968, o maior sucesso comercial da versão vocal ocorreu em 1992, quando a banda britânica Swing Out Sister a interpretou.
A versão de 1992 do Swing Out Sister alcançou a primeira posição nas paradas de música adultos contemporâneos nos Estados Unidos, conectando-se com o maior número de fãs.
Curiosamente, o maior impacto cultural da faixa ocorreu na forma instrumental, como hit single entre 1968 e 1969 pela banda Young-Holt Unlimited.
Na versão instrumental que marcou a carreira da Young-Holt Unlimited, a música foi lançada sob o título "Soulful Strut".
Há uma distinção histórica entre o pico de popularidade vocal e instrumental: enquanto a banda inglesa levou a versão vocal ao topo das paradas americanas na década de 90, a versão instrumental dominiou o cenário musical quase duas décadas antes.
