Letra de 'Why Not Me?' de Carrie (The Musical)

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."

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 anticipate 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?
