Do It Alone
[LUCILLE]
Do it alone, Leo
Do it all by yourself
You're the only one who matters, after all
Do it alone, Leo
Why should it bother me?
I'm just good for standing in the shadows
And staring at the walls, Leo
Fight them strong and proud
Pray your voice is loud
Loud enough to make it through that door
What on earth have I been worried for?
Soon I won't be worried anymore
No, do it alone, Leo
Now there's the right idea
Make me feel as useless as you always have!
Do it alone, Leo
What could a woman do?
After all, so many people love you
Thеy're dancing in the streets, Leo
Only you know how
To changе the future now
No one knows the pain you're going through
No one else is suffering but you
I could be a quiet little girl
And cook your little meal
And swallow all I feel
And bow to your command
Or I could start to scream
Across the whole damn South!
And never shut my mouth
Until they understand!
But I can't
Do it alone, Leo
Look at me now, Leo
I can be more
I can bring you home, Leo
We can bring you home, Leo
I want you
To come home
