Lyrics
0:03When you come home to me
0:07I'll wear a sweeter smile
0:09And hope that for a while you'll
0:13Okay thank you
0:28I'm climbing uphill Jamie
0:31Climbing uphill
0:35I'm up every morning at six
0:38And standing in line
0:40With two hundred girls
0:41Who are younger and thinner than me
0:45Who have already been to the gym
0:50I'm waiting five hours in line
0:53And watching the girls
0:55Just coming and going
0:57In dresses that look just like this
1:00Till my number is finally called
1:05When I walk in the room
1:07There's a table of men
1:09Always men usually gay
1:12Who've been sitting like I have
1:14And listening all day
1:16To two hundred girls
1:18Belting as high as they can
1:22I am a good person
1:25I'm an attractive person
1:29I am a talented person
1:32Grant me Grace
1:41When you come home
1:42I should have told them I was sick last week
1:44They're gonna think this is the way I sing
1:46Why is the pianist playing so loud
1:47Should I sing louder
1:49I'll sing louder
1:50Maybe I should stop and start over
1:51I'm gonna stop and start over
1:53Why is the director staring at his crotch
2:00Look at me
2:01Stop looking at that look at me
2:03No not at my shoes
2:04Don't look at my shoes
2:05I hate these stupid shoes
2:06Why did I pick these shoes
2:08Why did I pick this song
2:09Why did I pick this career
2:11Why does this pianist hate me
2:15If I don't get a callback
2:16I can go to Crate and Barrel with mom and buy a couch
2:18Not that I want to spend a day with mom
2:20But Jamie needs space to write
2:22Since I'm obviously such a horrible annoying distraction to him
2:25What's he gonna be like when we have kids
2:29And once again
2:32Why am I working so hard
2:33These are the people who cast Linda Blair in a musical
2:37Jesus Christ I suck I suck I suck
2:43When fin'lly you come home to
2:48Thank you
2:50Thank you very much
2:55I will not be the girl stuck at home in the 'burbs
2:58With the baby the dog and the garden of herbs
3:01I will not be the girl in the sensible shoes
3:05Pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues
3:08I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels
3:11To be trotting along at the genius's heels
3:15I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by
3:24And I
When you come home to me I'll wear a sweeter smile And hope that for a while you'll Okay thank you I'm climbing uphill Jamie Climbing uphill I'm up every morning at six And standing in line With two hundred girls Who are younger and thinner than me Who have already been to the gym I'm waiting five hours in line And watching the girls Just coming and going In dresses that look just like this Till my number is finally called When I walk in the room There's a table of men Always men usually gay Who've been sitting like I have And listening all day To two hundred girls Belting as high as they can I am a good person I'm an attractive person I am a talented person Grant me Grace When you come home I should have told them I was sick last week They're gonna think this is the way I sing Why is the pianist playing so loud Should I sing louder I'll sing louder Maybe I should stop and start over I'm gonna stop and start over Why is the director staring at his crotch Look at me Stop looking at that look at me No not at my shoes Don't look at my shoes I hate these stupid shoes Why did I pick these shoes Why did I pick this song Why did I pick this career Why does this pianist hate me If I don't get a callback I can go to Crate and Barrel with mom and buy a couch Not that I want to spend a day with mom But Jamie needs space to write Since I'm obviously such a horrible annoying distraction to him What's he gonna be like when we have kids And once again Why am I working so hard These are the people who cast Linda Blair in a musical Jesus Christ I suck I suck I suck When fin'lly you come home to Thank you Thank you very much I will not be the girl stuck at home in the 'burbs With the baby the dog and the garden of herbs I will not be the girl in the sensible shoes Pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels To be trotting along at the genius's heels I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by And I
