Original Broadway Cast of Violet, Alexander Gemignani, Emerson Steele, Sutton Foster - Look at Me lyrics

Look at me no one will look at me
No one will dare to spend
The time it takes to look at me –
To really look at me what did I do to make
You angry at me

My God this is so hard look at me look at me
Can you imagine what it's like when people
Look at me – look at me
Is this the tender mercy
That you're known for

My God don't be so hard

Give me the wings of an angel
Don't pull back don't shudder
Look elsewhere lose interest
I'm almost there

This is where the preacher stands
Two kinds of people in this world
All I have are promises
To raise me up and set me free

I'd like a pair of Gene Tierney eyes
And Ava Gardner's eyebrows
And anybody's cheekbones a different mouth
Beneath a new and better nose

And please, the eyes –
But God, give me something!
Something of my own something mine
So I won't be ashamed when I find a man

To look at me why won't you look at me
It was an accident or was it really?
Look at me! Goddammit, look at me
This is your handiwork the gift you gave me

So what? Once I look at you
Then what here I am
Looking at you satisfied?

You act like it's my fault

I'm not the one who up and decides one
Day the woodshed is the place to play

I'm not the one who doesn't check
To see his blade is loose!

It wasn't loose
Damn you the shim came out nobody checks the
Shim every time he uses his axe

Don't pull back don't shudder look elsewhere
Lose interest act distant embarrassed

You better be careful
'Cause, I won't accept this
Not this time i'm almost there

God, I just want you to apologize
