Stand up stand still get out of here I can't see straight I can't think clear There's no way around it to piss me off There's no sense about it I've heard enough Just let me be I told you once the way I am It's all the time you understand There's no way around it to piss me of There's no sense about it I've heard enough Just let me be Just let me be

Well, let's face it. May family scene was not good.
(sings)
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him.
That's what he said, that's what he said.
When he proposed he informed my mother
he was probably her very last chance.
And though she was twenty-two, though she was twenty-two,
though she was twenty-two -
She married him.
Life with my Dad wasn't ever a picnic.
More like a "Come as you are."
When I was five I remember my mother
dug earrings out of the car.
I knew that they weren't hers, but it wasn't
something you'd want to discuss.
He wasn't warm.
Well, not to her.
Well, not to us.
But ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet.
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white.
Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at th

Cruel to the eye I see the way he makes you smile Cruel to the eye Watching him hold what used to be mine Why did I lie? What did I walk away to find Oooohhh...why...oooh -- why... CHORUS I.... can't breathe easy Can't sleep at night Till you're by my side No I.... can't breathe easy I can't dream yet another dream Without you lying next to me There's no air....

That's when I started class

Up a steep and very narrow stairway.
SHEILA, BEBE
To the voice like a metronome.
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.
SHEILA
It wasn't paradise,

Mother always said I'd be very attractive
When I grew up, when I grew up.
"Different," she said, "with a special something
and a very, very personal flair."
And though I was eight or nine, though I was eight or nine,
Though I was eight or nine, I hated her.
(Now) "Different" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty.
"Pretty" is what it's about.
I never met anyone who was "different"
Who couldn't figure that out.
So beautiful I'd never live to see.
But it was clear, if not to her,
Well, then to me that

ALL I KNOW Lyrics
Come to rest, as I am now, With my thoughts dispersed and whirled about. With silence and a blank face I am moving through a maze of days. You, do you want to know where I have come from? You, do you want to know where I do belong? ALL I KNOW IS THAT I FOUND A WAY, IT NEVER GAVE ME AWAY. They buried the tiny soul Where the oleander grows. They drank and sang until they dropped.

MAGGIE (speaks)
I don't know what they were for or against really. except each other. I mean, I was born to save their marriage. But when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital, he said, "well, I thought this was going to help out, but I guess it's not." Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life. I used to dance around the living room with my hand up like this. My fantasy was that it was an Indian Chief and he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you wanna dance " And I'd say,
