Original Broadway Cast of Violet, Colin Donnell, Sutton Foster - Question ‘n' Answer lyrics

Someone sure has had some troubles
A girl on a mountain alone
Nothing but her chores to do
No one near worth talkin' to
Feeling sorry for herself for
Being on her own

You have all of the answers
To the stupidest questions
But the truth is never so pat –
Try and wrap your mind around that
Someone sure has had it easy

A boy in the skin of a man
Thinks he's born a gift to women
Thinks he's irresistible
Thinks what no one else has managed
He's the one who can –

I got news for you, sweetie pie
I'm the one who can see you're lying –
Better hope there's a doctor by
When I reach for the pain
You're trying to hide –

You think you know the answers
But, you don't know the questions
Bet the truth would knock your ass flat –
Try and wrap your mind around that

Things get pretty wicked out there
Tulsa jes' ain't like your farm
Best be careful now, ya hear?

Ugly, everywhere you look
What you ought to cultivate's a
Healthy dose of fear

(spoken) and don't count on your TV padre
For nothin' things are mean and
Ugly in this world – I
Mean act ugly, do ugly
Be ugly flick'll tell you

Act ugly, do ugly
Be ugly that could only be the
Motto of a pretty boy

You think you're funny, don't you?
