Jason Robert Brown, Carolee Carmello - Do It Alone lyrics

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

Lucille, how can you say that?

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
They're dancing in the streets, Leo!
Only you know how to change 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 damned 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
