[Original Broadway Cast of Groundhog Day, Rebecca Faulkenberryv - Playing Nancy lyrics]
Well here I am again
The pretty but naive one
The perky-breasted, giggly, one night stand
Is it my destiny to be a brief diversion
Just a detour on the journey of some man
I'm not really one for askin'
I'll play whatever role I'm cast in
Will smile with perfect teeth
And grimace underneath
I learned back in my teens
There's no point in protesting
If you look good in tight jeans
That's what they'll want you dressed in
Once you're known for low-cut tops
It's pretty hard to stop
It isn't easy to break free of playing Nancy
I don't really remember
I guess I chose to be here
I wasn't quite aware that
I was put here to be stared at
But this world I chose to live in
Is mostly run by men
So you take what you are given
Just to feel the love again
So throughout the endless week
And all through the weekend
You'll find me here playing Nancy
And look I know this person fit's me
I'm pretty good at being pretty
And I'm grateful, I mean to say
There are worse roles you could play
And I'd rather be up dancing
Than sat against the wall
It's better to be leered at
Than not desired at all
Who am I to dream of better?
To dream that one day i will be
Something more than just collateral
In someone else's battle i will be
Something more than Nancy
The pretty but naive one
The perky-breasted, giggly, one night stand
Is it my destiny to be a brief diversion
Just a detour on the journey of some man
I'm not really one for askin'
I'll play whatever role I'm cast in
Will smile with perfect teeth
And grimace underneath
I learned back in my teens
There's no point in protesting
If you look good in tight jeans
That's what they'll want you dressed in
Once you're known for low-cut tops
It's pretty hard to stop
It isn't easy to break free of playing Nancy
I don't really remember
I guess I chose to be here
I wasn't quite aware that
I was put here to be stared at
But this world I chose to live in
Is mostly run by men
So you take what you are given
Just to feel the love again
So throughout the endless week
And all through the weekend
You'll find me here playing Nancy
And look I know this person fit's me
I'm pretty good at being pretty
And I'm grateful, I mean to say
There are worse roles you could play
And I'd rather be up dancing
Than sat against the wall
It's better to be leered at
Than not desired at all
Who am I to dream of better?
To dream that one day i will be
Something more than just collateral
In someone else's battle i will be
Something more than Nancy
