Fly By Night (Original Off-Broadway cast)
What You Do to Me
[Joey]
Life hasn't been a breeze
Because my family's
Genuine expertise you can't debate
But when I write, it's odd
I feel like I'm a fraud
But folks say "Your script is great!"
So they produce it and I watch
I need a noose but grab a scotch
It's like a bang right to the crotch
But then you came on that stage
And you were filled with rage
And said that every page was garbage
[Daphne]
Worse than garbage!
[Joey]
Worse than garbage!
I knew right there and then
I had to see you again
Because my wheels began to turn
Which made my ears begin to churn
Which made my brain begin to burn!
It's what you do to me!
It's what you do to me!
It's what you do to me!
Daphne!
There is a fireplace
That lives inside my face
And it's a sacred place where my thoughts hatch
I had the logs of wood
Like any fire should
But wood's not any good
Without a match (You're that match!)
Oh you inspire up a fire
Burning hotter, burning higher
You're the girl next door but unique!
You've got passion, pep and mystique!
And I have not slept for a week!
Cause of what you do to me!
It's what you do to me!
It's what you do to me!
Daphne!
You're my muse!
[Daphne]
I am?
[Joey]
Yes! And I've written a new show for you!
It's about the human condition!
It's called, "The Human Condition"!
Here, please, just read one page of the script
It's just a first draft
And I hate that line
Oh no, she just laughed!
Or maybe that's fine
And I won't get mad
The truth, if you would
Oh, you think that it's bad
[Daphne]
I think that it's good!
[Joey]
Really?
[Daphne]
Yes. It's... It's...
[Joey]
It's what you do to me!
[Daphne]
You've got yourself a muse!
[Joey]
It's what you do to me!
[Daphne]
Oh finally, good news!
[Joey]
It's what you do to me!
It's what you do to me!
It's what you (I) do to me (you)!
It's what you do to me!
