carrie: the musical ensemble - why not me? lyrics

Loading...

all:
breathe
this will be great
nails? dried. bow? tied
t–th? brushed. face? flushed
looking good. got the car – score!
keg party! double score!
unbuckle it, kick that sh-t
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.”

then 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 this 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 antic-p-te the snickers
oh, i expect that 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?

oh, 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 possibility
and if everybody feels that way then why
why not me?
