megan hilty & 'death becomes her' original broadway cast - for the gaze lyrics

[madeline]
why is a girl like me
sitting here in this chair, combing her hair
and painting her face in the chase
to stay young and beautiful?
is it the fact that i’m attracted
to each kernel of external validation
in a world that keeps me insecure
to sell me needless cr+p?
or is it something new?
would you believe it to be true
that i’d do it all for you?
for that glimmer in your eye?
for your gaze?

i’d trade my fortune for the chance to be
enveloped in that special way you glance at me
i feel like i can have it all the moment that i fall into that gaze
the look of recognition in your eyes
is all it takes to have me hooked and hypnotized
it’s the feeling of pure ecstasy
yes, everything i do is for

,
i’ll do just about anything to be your girl
i’ll cause a scene to make you stare
i’ll take the trip from here to there
while serving cleopatra on a chaise
i’ll give you choreo and legs for days
i’ll go one step beyond and give you grunge a taste

your

but only for the gaze!
[ensemble, madeline, spoken]
ooh, (it’s true!)
be careful if you push her, she’ll go overboard (splish+splash)
with every move we love her more
we love her ’cause she does it for the g+ys

[madeline]
i’m just a twenty+something ingenue
babbling before you, begging for your praise
please love me, give me the gaze, the g+ys love me
i need the gaze, the g+ys love me
the g+ys love me, the g+ys love me

[ensemble]
oh+oh+oh+oh
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
ooh, ah, ooh+ah, ah+ah+ah+ah
ooh+ah, ah+ah+ah+ah

[madeline and ensemble]
oh, it’s the greatest gift, the greatest love
the greatest love to get to be a member of

[madeline, ensemble]
’cause if you ask me when push comes to shove
it’s for the gaze (it’s for the g+ys, it’s for the g+ys, it’s for the g+ys)
forgive me if i’m coming on too strong
i just want to be loved and feel like i belong
that’s why i wear this little gown and sing this little song
it’s for the gaze (it’s for the g+ys, it’s for the g+ys)
i’d do anything for (she’d do anything for)
we all know that this whole d+mn show is for
the gaze (all for the g+ys, the g+ys)
anything for the gaze! (g+ys)
