Patti LuPone
What’s the Use of Feeling (Blue)?
[Intro: Yellow Pearl & Blue Pearl: Deedee Magno Hall]
Aah-haa-haa, aah-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa, aah-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa haa haaaaa
[Verse 1 & Refrain: Yellow Diamond: Patti LuPone]
Why would you want to be here?
What do you ever see here?
That doesn’t make you feel worse than you do?
And tell me, what’s the use of feeling, Blue?
[Verse 2 & Refrain: Yellow Diamond]
[Pearls]
Why would you want to employ her
Subjects that destroyed her?
Why keep up her silly
Zoo? Oh, tell me
What’s the use of feeling, Blue?
Ah ha ha ha ha, ahhh
Ah ha ha ha ha, ahhh
Ahh-ahh
[Pre-Chorus: Yellow Diamond]
[Pearls]
An army has a use
They can go and fight a war
A Sapphire has a use
She can tell you what it’s for
An Agate terrifies
A Lapis terraforms
Where’s their diamond
When they need her, Blue?
You’ve got to be a leader, Blue
Ahhhh
Ah ah ah ah
Ahhhh
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ha haaa
Ahhhh!
[Chorus: Yellow Diamond, (Pearls), All]
Yes, of course, we still love her
And we’re always thinking of her
But now there’s nothing we can
Do, so tell me (Ahh-ahh)
What’s the use of feeling?
What’s the use of feeling?
What’s the use of feeling, Blue?
[Bridge: Yellow Diamond, (Pearls), All]
Ohh
How can you stand to be here with it all? (here with it all)
Drowning in all this regret?
Wouldn’t you rather forget her? Ohhh
Won’t it be grand to get rid of it all? (rid of it all)
Let’s make a plan of attack
Start looking forward and stop looking back, oh
[Chorus 2: Yellow Diamond]
Yes, of course, we still love her
And we’re always thinking of her
Don’t you know I miss her, too?
But tell me
What’s the use of feeling?
What’s the use of feeling?
What’s the use of feeling—
[Outro: Yellow Diamond]
Mmm-hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm-mmmm
