Why Not Me?

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? 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!"

Maybe he won't even notice

That I am staring 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 the 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

I expect the 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?

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 3 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 possibilities

And if everybody feels that way, then why

Why not me?
