Shine Like the Sun
[VIOLET]
They say we always get what we deserve
Whether good bad or indifferent
[DORALEE]
That's what I've always heard
[JUDY]
No good deed goes unpunished
But the bad deeds you have done
Stretched out, I'm sure that they would reach
From here to kingdom come
[VIOLET]
We think it's time you get what you deserve
You've got no true compassion
But you've really got some nerve
[ALL THREE]
And you've hurt every one of us
[JUDY]
In different kinds of ways
[DORALEE]
What goes around, comes around
[ALL THREE]
And each dog has its day...
[DORALEE]
Under this hair is a brain!
Not that you'd ever care
And you only see tits, but get this
There's a heart under there
A heart that you've broken and ripped out
More times than a few
But, ol' Double D Doralee's
Gonna stick it to you!
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll
Away from my door
When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
I will prove my own worth
Heal the damage and
Hurt that's been done
When the crying's all done
I'm gonna shine
Like the sun
[JUDY]
I've had enough hurt in my life
And you've been adding to it
But I'm in control now and
Just like before I'll get through it
You've hurt and embarrassed me
Proven you don't give a damn
I'm tired of men like you
Who make me feel less than I am
[JUDY, DORALEE & VIOLET, OFFSTAGE VOICES]
I'm gonna shine like the sun I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll
Away from my door
Shine like the sun Shine like the sun
Shine
When it's all said and done When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
Shine like the sun Shine like the sun
We're gonna shine like the sun We're gonna shine like the sun
I'm taking what's mine I'm taking what's mine
I'll be fine
I am second to none
Second to none
[ALL THREE, OFFSTAGE VOICES]
And when the losing's all done I'm And when the losing's all done I'm
Gonna shine like the sun Gonna shine
Shine Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
[VIOLET, JUDY, DORALEE, & OFFSTAGE VOICES]
I've been down on my luck
I've been shadowed
With trouble and sorrow Sorrow
But I'm not giving up
'Cause I know there is always tomorrow Tomorrow
There are no guarantees
Life is always a hit
Or a miss Or a miss
But I truly believe Truly believe
I won't always be
Feeling like this
[ALL THREE, OFFSTAGE VOICES]
I'm gonna shine like the sun Shine like the sun
When these clouds roll
Away from my door
Shine
I won't crawl I can run I won't crawl I can run
I won't be at your mercy no more Shine
We'll be singing it loud We'll be singing it loud
Be so proud
That we finally won Finally won
And when the losing's all done Losing's all done
We're gonna shine We're gonna shine
