Carrie - Why Not Me? Lyrics |
2012 Off-Broadway revival musical Carrie the Musical - Why Not Me? Lyrics
All: Breathe This will be great Nails? Dried Bow? Tied Teeth? Brushed Face? Flushed Looking good! Got the car Score. Keg party! Double score! Unbuckle it Kick that shit. Safety off Hey how 'bout a maybe? Drive! Safety off. Smokes? Got 'em Gettin' it up, gettin' it up Breathe Paces. Heart races. One shot. Ready?
Carrie: Not. If I can make it down the stairs, If I can make it to the door If I can open it and say, "Oh Tommy, hi."
Maybe he won't even notice That I am starting at the floor But if other girls can do this why can't I?
If I can keep my knees from buckling If I can keep my pulse in check Then I will never give the world a chance to see
That underneath the smile I'm smiling I'm so totally a wreck But if other girls get through this, Why not me? Why not me? Why not me?
Oh I anticipate the snickers, And I expect the kids will stare But they won't rattle me No matter what they do
I know I may not be welcome But at least I will be there And if other girls belong then I do too
Why not me? Why not me? I know it's only a dance, And I know it's only one night But this might be the start of my journey Out of the shadows, And into the light!
Why not me?
I'm gonna talk above a whisper, I'm gonna walk in three-inch heels I'm gonna fight the urge To turn around and flee
And then I will feel the magic I'm told anyone can feel When the stars align And life is filled with possibilities And if everybody feels that way then why, Why not me?
