Father, who has been summoned to assist Coalhouse, assures Mother that everything will soon return to the way it was before. Mother, however, is not convinced.
View Lyrics
There was a time Our happiness seemed never-ending I was so sure That where we were heading was right Life was a road So certain and straight and unbending Our little road With never a cross road in sight Back in the days When we spoke in civilized voices Women in white And sturdy young men at the oar Back in the days When I let you make all my choices... We can never go back to before

There was a time My feet were so solidly planted You'd sail away While I turned my back to the sea I was content, A princess asleep and enchanted If I had dreams Then I let you dream them for me Back in the days When everything seemed so much clearer Women in white Who knew what their lives held in store Where are they now, Those women who stared from the mirror? We can never go back to before.

There are people out there Unafraid of revealing That they might have a feeling Or they might have been wrong There are people out there Unafraid to feel sorrow, unafraid of tomorrow, unafraid to be weak... unafraid to be strong!

There was a time When you were the person in motion I was your wife, It never occurred to want more You were my sky My moon and my stars and my ocean We can never go back to before We can never go back to before

Although the prostitute Lucy is perceived as kind-hearted, she often has moments of deep, dark contemplation about her life.
View Lyrics
LUCY: Look at me, And tell me who I am. Why I am What I am.
Call me a fool, And it's true I am. I don't know Who I am.
It's such a shame, I'm such a sham. No one knows Who I am.
Am I the face of the future? Am I the face of the past? Am I the one who must finish last?
Look at me, And tell me who I am, Why I am What I am.
Will I survive? Who will give a damn, If no one knows Who I am?
Nobody knows - Not even you - No one knows who I am...

View Lyrics
Listen to me, I have beautiful dreams I can spin you Dreams to linger within you Close your eyes and we’ll ride my carousel I’ll sing you stories of lovers whose love used to fill me And the lovers who will be For, you see, love is one thing I do well Come, let’s believe love can be just as sweet as it seems Let’s live on dreams!

In my dreams such beautiful lovers have found me Storybook lovers surround me Nothing is real, but I’m flying, sighing Where, where, where is my storybook ending? Why does my golden pretending Leave me with nothing to hold but my dreams? Oh, is it only in dreams that we find our ideal love? Are there lovers with real love? If you know how to feel love, show me now Ah, but my prince, if you can’t be as sweet as you seem I’d rather dream

Come and wake me! Come be the love I can hold now Storybook love leaves me cold now Show me the way to stop dreaming There is only one perfect storybook ending That is the end of pretending That is the moment I say, love me now!

Et sur mon manege, l’amour toujours est chantant De mes reves, c’est le commencement Et j’espere une fin heureuse Mais la fin de l’histoire ne vient pas tres doucement Pour l’histoire, il faut faire semblant Certes je n’embrasse que mes reves Seuls mes reves!

Mina, who is strangely attracted to Count Dracula, begs for him not to coax her into romance unless he truly loves her.
View Lyrics
There only so much That a heart can take Before it starts to break

Please don’t make me love you Please don’t make me need you I’ve no room in my life For something like this

Please don’t take my mornings Please don’t steal my summers I know they will vanish The moment we kiss

I grow weak when we talk I’m confused when we touch I should just walk away But that’s asking too much

Please don’t make me do this Please don’t make me want this All my drams were taken Until i met you

You’re the one I think of Soon as I awaken Funny how the heart tells The mind what to do

I’m not sure I can go through all The joy and the pain Much better now To let these dreams take flight!

Please don’t make me love you Please don’t make me need you Simplify my life By just setting me free

Promise me you’ll do this Only you can do this Please don’t make me love you Unless you love me

KATE Black is a moocher And I like it like that Three-pocket-poocher And I like it like that

I like him the way that he is He is no’innocent And Christ. He’s guilty where it counts I use him daily in increasin’ amounts And I like it like that Un-huh Un-huh Un-huh Un-huh And I like it like that Mmmhm mmmhm’ I like it like

In the morning light when he rubs his beard Then he touches me; In the afternoon. when he draws my bath Then undresses me; Come round curtain time, when he spends my dough Then he cheats on me; Come the quarter-moon; when he drinks too much Then he cries for me; Breaking a stray in ain’t so hard; Had ta teach him to play in my backyard

Black is a liar And I like it like that Thinks with his wire And I like it like that I’m in for the thrill of the kill’ If I can’t have him Then nobody will.

All I need what I need

Kate I need to feel his touch

All I need I need

Kate I need to feel his sex

All I need to feel your sex I need to hear your name I need your fire I need your breath I need your lust Lust! Lust! Lust!

SHELBY A long time ago A lady whose name was Carmen Drove a man wild Until he was out of control

I truly believe That i am a modern day Carmen In spite of the fact I do not habla espanol

That girl was exactly like me We share this philosophy Ole, I say

I'm not the type who's ready For datin' someone steady I'm everybody's girl

On Sunday night it's Danny On Monday, maybe Nanny I'm everybody's girl

There's a point to my behavior Which is: Smart girls always share their riches

So, if your heart succumbs Don't let it You're certain to regret it All others, come and get it I'm everybody's girl.

I could never be a cowhand's girl

La la la la la la

And you wanna know why?

ALL: Why?

SHELBY: I just can't keep my calves together.

I'm everybody's girl Some old greek called Aristotle said it: If you got it, why not spread it? So don't go rattling any sabres Exerting any labors Just share me with the neighbors I'm everybody's girl

In case your passion rages, (I'm in the yellow pages) I'm... Girl.

You won't be disappointed I'm also double-jointed I'm everybody's girl Though it leaves a lot of fellas Cursin' I'm a person Needs disbursin'

And so to reaffirm my status It's absolutely gratis To use my apparatus I'm everybody's girl

Men and me are like pianos. When they Get upright, i feel grand!

Everybody's girl!

Diane tries to move past the platonic stage of her relationship with Chuck.
View Lyrics
Well, pop the champagne, break out the cologne; turn up the moonlight and turn off the phone. Well, what a surprise, a man is in sight; and I will be loved tonight.
To fondle his skin, to savor his lips; to nuzzle his chin, to movie with his hips. our words will be soft as we softly ignite; and I will be loved tonight.
You can go from week to week, you can go from year to year; not a hand placed on your cheek, not a whisper in your ear. You can make it through okay, you can live and laugh, and flirt. It's quite easy in the day; it's just the nights that always hurt.
So let darkness come, 'cause that will be fine; for I'll have a soul entangled in mine. We'll do as we please, and please... hold me tight. For I will be loved, I will be loved. Yes, I will be loved tonight.

VICKI You gotta love that man He's like my personal angel I've always wanted the kind of life That I've been having as Harold's wife What a catch I have caught He would buy me the moon If the moon could be bought I'm telling you - You gotta love that man

JERRY Why can't you just tell her?

HAROLD She adores me. How do you break the heart of someone you love?

VICKI I really love that man He likes me dressed to the nines I saw two words and then ta-da There's me completely in Prada And I've got the boots that go with the belt That goes with the bag That goes with my wonderful life with Harold You gotta love that man

So he tells me you boys are rollers at the mill. That's wonderful. Of course, I don't actually know what rollers do, but hey, I hardly know what Harold does over there. It's all steel to me.

HAROLD Look at her. She's a piece of Dresden china. She'd break into a million pieces!

VICKI God, I love that man But lately he's working too hard I keep on telling him how we Should take a few weeks in Maui And we'll feel the breeze and sample the poi And go see Don Ho and I'll say "Oh boy, how I love you, Harold" I hit the jackpot with Harry

He's a gem - he's a beaut He looks cute in a suit and he loves me to boot I'm telling you You gotta love that man

Love that man I love that man I love that man!

MEN Love that man You gotta love that man You really gotta love That man

Claire explains to Jason her romantic past with a man who died in the 9/11 attacks.
View Lyrics
We met, of all places, In front of Gristedes some freakishly cold winters day. I had on several unflattering layers of wool. He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full, So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'

'Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleeker and Mercer tomorrow at 7. If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here, And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John." He waved and then he was gone.

Needless to say I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight. He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight. The next week we went to this terrible play. And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day. And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'

'Because I'll be here Right beside you as long as you want me to be. There's no question. There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life. This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one." And we had just begun.

We got hitched in September, our favorite month, With a rock band that played in this old synagogue. And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog. Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off. He had to stop into his office that morning, And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know. When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke. So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left with the last words he said.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff. You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight. Well today something happened that spooked me alright. I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky, And I thought of that day and I started to cry. When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying "Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'

'Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater. Even if you go out on my birthday This year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by. You don't have to cry.'

'Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together. When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile. When you meet some handsome and patient and true. When he says that he wants to be married to you. When you call him one night and he meets you downtown. When you finally answer him yes." Yes. Jason, I will marry you. I will give you my heart. It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start. Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here.

A woman sings a tongue-in-cheek tribute to her boyfriend, a jazz bassist.
View Lyrics
My scattered life had no foundation Couldn't seem to find my space Then all at once came inspiration Now i'm back on base.

My baby plays a line that subtle Yet it makes the strongest case An argument with no rebuttal Got me back on base.

When his fingers touch my strings I tingle to my teeth I seem to sing the wildest things When he is underneath.

The only worm that's in this eden The only snag in all this lace Is where i stand ain't easy reading When he's back on base.

(scat)

At times he seems a bit elusive Way off in his private place I guess he can't be mine exclusive When he's back on base.

He's got eyes for something tall So maybe i should go Then once more my defences fall When he gets down below oh oh oh oh oh oh

So what if he don't feel like talkin' I'll just let him play his ace And let his fingers do the walkin' 'Til i'm back on...

Always back on... So happy back on base. (scat) We make sweet music when we're both back on base

Context & Lyrics


A woman who is bittersweet with her life surrenders to her circumstances without complaining.
View Lyrics
It was a liberated marriage We shared the household chores of course We understood each others feelings Right down to the day of our sensible divorce

I didn't ask him for a penny I'd had my liberated training

So off he went with his hair of bronze To find a life like Khalil Gibran's I got my rest from the drugs he did He got his quest, I got the kid

And oh, I'm not complaining

So I set off to be a writer, A modern mother on her own I wrote up happenings at galleries Turned down jobs with salaries Stayed freelance and alone

I fought the battles of the sixties Which you recall were rather draining When men were thick, I hit the fray Became a prick Got equal pay I faced down chauvinistic slobs I won the fights Improved the jobs

And oh, I'm not complaining

My husband found himself his ashram Lost forty pounds and went through hell Then one day he came back from limbo Found himself some bimbo And moved to New Rochelle

I raised my son and I had lovers My choices sometimes take explaining I'd meet some jock My friends would scoff He'd stay a while I'd drive him off I kept my space Preserved my turf Six months I'd send him back to surf

And oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I was not complaining

So now my son's half way through college I pay tuition like a fine I'm still this feisty freelance writer Resume well honed At a well toned forty-nine

I find that getting work is harder Each job I want takes more campaigning And those sweet young things who hire me now Those MBAs making fifty thou Who smile and ask what I have done When they got their jobs from the fights I won

Ah, they should all stay home and have babies

But I'm not complaining

And in the evening at my window As I watch Jersey growing dim I feel a troubling emotion Summed up in this notion I wish I'd stayed with him

Lord knows each day with him was madness As I have spent my life maintaining

But more and more I recall the joy My golden dreamer My lost boy Our life was life in the twilight zone But no worse than a life alone

And oh, Well I chose my way And I'm not complaining

A seemingly introverted woman reveals that there's more to her than meets the eye.
View Lyrics
The sign says I'm Miss Byrd And that's my name I'm one of those people who all look the same At work I'm hardly seen I come and go
But I know something that people don't know
Every one who sees me thinks That I'm that dull Miss Byrd I could blow that myth apart But i don't say a word

I sit here at my desk And no one knows Not twenty minutes ago I was not wearing clothes I was in someone's arms, in someone's bed Oh what the thought of it does to my head

If it's true a bird makes music When her heart takes wing This bird is singing Miss byrd is singing I'm singing I'm in love But I'm not saying a thing

Uh uh Oooh oooh

Down in apartment a The super's aptly named Last week I went to the basement More hours than i claimed He says i'm super too He calls me hot I show those basement apartments a lot

Back at work i'm crisp and fresh Reliable Miss Byrd Seals are dancing in my flesh But I don't say a word

I'm showing penthouse c As i begin I still feel his hands sliding over my skin My nipples start to throb Inside my bra That's when I start to go la-dah-di-dah

If you've never felt the lift A little lunch can bring This bird is singing Miss Byrd is singing I'm singing I'm on fire But i'm not saying a thing

No no no no oh oh oh...

This is a floor thru five I call it more a six The broken kitchenette tiles they will fix

Lots of girls who first seems shy Have secrets I have found If you think I'm special I suggest you look around

That little office temp Who seems so dumb How come a trip to mcdonald's Is making her hum?

And Mrs. Smith in sales Who's turning grey Why is she smiling that curious way?

If it's true the drabbest songbirds Come alive in spring The birds are singing Miss Byrd is singing I'm singing I'm in love But I'm not saying a thing

No no no no no no no no

Mum's the word

La la la la Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard...oo-wee

La la la la... Shh.....

The actress Marguerite cannot understand her husband Percy's change in behavior.
View Lyrics
When I look at you
What I always see Is the face of someone else
Who once belonged to me Still I can hear him laugh And even though that melody plays on,
He's gone
When I look at you
He is standing there I can almost breathe him in
Like summer in the air Why do you smile his smile? That heaven I'd forgotten eases through,
In you
If you could look at me once more With all the love you felt before If you and I could disappear into the past And find that love we knew I'd never take my eyes away from you
When I look at you,
He is touching me I would reach for him,
But who can hold a memory? And love isn't everything That moonlight on the bed will melt away,
Someday
Oh, you were once that someone Who I followed like a star Then suddenly you changed, And now I don't know who you are Or could it be
That I never really knew you from the start?
Did I create a dream? Was he a fantasy? Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me Now, remembering is all that I can do Because I miss him so,
When I look at you

A woman discovers that her lover has been cheating on her, so she walks out.
View Lyrics
You must be mistaken It couldn't have been You couldn't have seen him yesterday He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now I hate it, when he's away!

You must be mistaken I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers on. And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

If I'm not mistaken, it started last year.

I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can.

No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things you might hear. When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend: you're wrong again!

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

The Mad Hatter raves on about how she wants to rule Wonderland.
View Lyrics
Well Hello, there, it's me With how it's gonna be, Settle down and listen up good.

The old Hatter is gone But the Hat must go on Worn by me, is that understood?

So shut up and tow the line, While I redefine How this all will be mine.

I have a dream, It's got a full head of steam!

What is true what is not Can both change in a shot And people, me, I couldn't care less.

'Cause in two seconds flat Livin' under my hat Is the strategy for success.

I will look the other way When you want to play Something more than croquet. You catch my drift? My little personal gift!

I'm the Mad Hatter Come and follow me, this is it. The Mad Hatter, All you gotta do is submit.

And if you don't my friend, Well then in the end, There'll be nothing left to defend. Know what I mean? When you are facing the Queen.

Uppercase, double-spaced Everyone gets a taste, And a brand new leather hat band.

But to participate, Let me reiterate You must first put me in command.

I'm the wonder, understand, Under Wonderland, Put the reigns in my hand. I'll do the rest, As soon as you've acquiesced!

I'm the Mad Hatter Offering a little bit more. The Mad Hatter, Giving you what you're looking for.

I am your best worst case For the choice you face, And the fastest rat in the race! It's me or the queen And her serene guillotine.

There is nothing I won't do, There is nothing too taboo, I will lie, I will cheat, I will track you down And then hit delete tout suite!

So sweetie let me repeat... I'm the Mad Hatter, Lend allegiance while you still can, The Mad Hatter More than just a Hat with a plan.

I am where you belong, The right kind of wrong, And I'll still be going real strong!

The bottom line Is everything will be fine. As all the planets align, It's gonna be so divine. When all of this will be MINE!!

A woman sings about setting her own rules and choosing her own path.
View Lyrics
Now, I'm standing here the sunlight is soft & warm. Is this a gentle paradise or only the eye of the storm? This time will I just give in when the rain starts to pour down? This time will I start to swim or will I start to drown?

Now, I'm walking alone as the wind circles all around. Waiting for the slightest move or the first unexpected sound. This time will I raise my shield when the hunters spot their prey? This time will I stay in the field or will I run away?

From who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.

Now, I'm moving along as the twilight begins to spread. I take in this moment as the clouds gather overhead. This time will I see what's true when the lightening streaks through the grey? This time will it blind my view or will it light the way?

To who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.

And all these questions in me, are fading away as I suddenly see; I can embrace everything behind me. And find the place where I finally find me.

Now, I run with you as a new sun begins to rise. I can see forever through these endless big blue skies.

Now is the only time. Here is the only place. This is all I want to be.

This time I can see the view. This time the sun will shine through. This time. This time. This time.

I've had it up to here With all these holier-than-thous Who want to save me from the devils wicked den
When all they really want is What those jokers always want And when they get we don't see them Until they want it again
Don't quote me no commandments Don't preach me no jive There's only one commandment Thou shall survive
Maybe I'm a sinner, but who's gonna cast the first stone? It's my body and my body Is nobody's business but my own Nobody's business but my own
What if I'm a sinner, hey, I ain't exactly alone It's my body and my body Is nobody's business but my own Nobody's business but my own
All those uptown ladies Look and dress so fine They can sell it their way, Let me sell it mine!
Maybe you don't like it Maybe you don't like it But that don't mean nothing because My body is my business, My business not yours
I know what I'm doing And I know who I am If you got a problem I don't give a damn (3x)
Ain't no doubt about it 'Cause baby it's written in stone It's my body not your body Cuz my body is my business, My business Is my business And nobody's business (4x) But my own!

You don't have the right to know A man that wise and good He is a decent man He is an honest man And you don't know And you never will
Not from me, not from anyone who knows him Not a morsel, not a crumb, not a clue I have nothing more to say to you

Look at me I am gorgeous. I am absolutely gorgeous. There's this avalanche of beauty in one woman and I'm it. Ahh. Oh look at the way all of the parts fit together.
Stunning. See the way my nose stopped running. I was positive this creature was there inside here ol' me. All bottled up waiting to get free. Now I see the real me.
Look at this, look at that. Look at those, let me just feel me. Beautiful, glamorous, radiant, ravishing. Look at the hair. Look at this shape. Look everywhere.
I am such a divine me. Every studio will sign me. My cup runneth over. Whoever saw such a complete wow! Nobody will say no to me now. No one, is as, gorgeous, as. Me-Ahhhhhhh.

I done lost my ugly spare I am cheerful now got the warmth all over To smother my worried brow Oh the girl I use to be She ain't me no more I closed the door
On the girl I was before
Feeling fine and full of bliss What I really wanna say is this
I never has seen snow All the same I know Snow ain't so beautiful Can't be so beautiful Like my love is Like my love is
Nothing do compare Nothing anywhere with my love
A hundred things I see A twilight sky that tree But none so beautiful Not one so beautiful Like my love is Like my love is
Once you see his face None can take the place of my love
A stone rolled of my heart When I laid my eyes on that Near of me boy with that far away look And right from the start I saw a new horizon And a road to take me where I wanted to be took Needed to be took Needed to be took Oh!
I never have seen snow All the same I know Nothing will ever be Nothing can ever be Beautiful as my love is Like my love is to me Nothing is as beautiful to me

Context & Lyrics


Trina is struggling to cope with Whizzer's mysterious illness.
View Lyrics
TRINA I was sure growing up I would live the life My mother assumed I'd live Very Jewish, very middle-class, and very straight Where healthy men stayed healthy men And marriages were long and great I smile I don't complain

I'm trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing Families aren't what they were Thank God there's a husband and a child whom I adore But then there's more So many more There's always more

Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life I'm plain I don't astound

I hold to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Keeping my balance square Trying not to care about this man who Marvin loves But that's my life He shared my life Yes, that's my life

Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life

Holding to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Trying to keep sane As the rules keep changing Keeping up my head As my heart falls out of sight Everything will be all right Everything will be all right

Marcy tells her lover Austin that she is in fact not ready yet for true love.
View Lyrics
MARCIE Stop there, Austen, hold it, freeze Give me a second, would you please` You said a lot there and I`m just not there I need to think your honesty real And it appeals to my emotions Which is great, but I`m sure Now`s no the time for romantic notions

I want true love someday But, just not now A picket fence clich` But just not now How can I make you see Though this feels right to me Now`s not the time to be Quite where you are

You`re here too soon And though I know It sounds unfair If you would wait for me, I swear I`ll meet you there I need some time to heal And though your love seems real I`m not prepared to feel The way you do

Let`s take this time We`ll wait it out Or else we`ll crash and burn I`m lost And I don`t know What true love`s all about Please give me time to learn

I want so much to say Okay, I love you too I will, but not today You know, I know you do And though it`s hard you must Control your heart and trust I want with you Just not now

Georgie and her friends take pride in their new independence as being the breadwinners of their families.
View Lyrics
GEORGIE Who’s got power? Who’s got juice? Who’s got the money?
WOMEN It’s a woman’s world
GEORGIE Who feels freedom To let loose Tonight, honey, honey –

WOMEN It’s a woman’s world

GEORGIE Back at home my libido is asleep Nothing stirring up the batter Now I know all I needed was a heap O’ dancing beefcake on a platter

WOMEN A silver platter!

GEORGIE Let’s get sweaty and Let’s get mean Fire up the burner –

WOMEN It’s a woman’s world

GEORGIE I’ll be president

SUSAN I’ll be queen

JOANIE I’ll be Tina Turner –

WOMEN It’s a woman’s world

GEORGIE ‘Cause tonight

WOMEN Yeah tonight

ALL It’s a woman’s world

GEORGIE Work all day, I come home and he’s all pissed It’s a wallow-in-the-mudfest Now I know all I need to clear the system’s Just a raunchy little studfest

God bless their little G-strings!

All that music and all that beat Who’s feeling funny –

WOMEN It’s a woman’s world

GEORGIE All those men moving All that meat Tonight, honey-honey –

WOMEN It’s a woman’s world

SUSAN I like the chunky little butt On that motorcycle cop I wanna go up there and bite it

GEORGIE You’ll chip a tooth, honey!

JOANIE Or G.I. Joe with the military jock I’d give a hundred bucks to see what’s inside it

SUSAN What’s inside it?

ESTELLE What’s inside it?

ALL Why do they hide it?

All that music and all that beat Making me dizzy It’s a woman’s world All those men moving All that meat

GEORGIE Let’s get busy!

ALL It’s a woman’s world Well it might be the men’s room

GEORGIE Yeah, but tonight –

ALL It’s a woman’s world!

Context & Lyrics


By the end of the show, Queenie loses both of the men who pursue her, and contemplates how things came to end so badly.
View Lyrics
We're all so sure We're all so wise No limits No boundaries No compromise. Laughing at our neighbor Smiling through a hiss How did we come to this?
We're all amuse We're all inspired So cunning So clever And so admired Easy to be angry Easy to dismiss How did we come to this?
Maybe I've been living in a daydream Maybe I've been talking in my sleep If I've been awake Pardon my mistake But time is running low And talk is growing cheap.
We play our games We place our bets No witness No weakness And no regrets. Filling up with frenzy Killing with a kiss How did we all come to this? Time goes by Plans grow stale People die And parties fail How did we come to this?
ENSEMBLE She had grey eyes, Lips like coals aglow. And her face was a tinted mask of snow.
A fascinating woman As they go.

Context & Lyrics


Father, who has been summoned to assist Coalhouse, assures Mother that everything will soon return to the way it was before. Mother, however, is not convinced.
View Lyrics
There was a time Our happiness seemed never-ending I was so sure That where we were heading was right Life was a road So certain and straight and unbending Our little road With never a cross road in sight Back in the days When we spoke in civilized voices Women in white And sturdy young men at the oar Back in the days When I let you make all my choices... We can never go back to before

There was a time My feet were so solidly planted You'd sail away While I turned my back to the sea I was content, A princess asleep and enchanted If I had dreams Then I let you dream them for me Back in the days When everything seemed so much clearer Women in white Who knew what their lives held in store Where are they now, Those women who stared from the mirror? We can never go back to before.

There are people out there Unafraid of revealing That they might have a feeling Or they might have been wrong There are people out there Unafraid to feel sorrow, unafraid of tomorrow, unafraid to be weak... unafraid to be strong!

There was a time When you were the person in motion I was your wife, It never occurred to want more You were my sky My moon and my stars and my ocean We can never go back to before We can never go back to before
