Climbing Uphill |
| When you come home to me |
| I’ll wear a sweeter smile |
| And hope that, for a while, you’ll… |
| Okay, thank you |
| Thank you so much |
| I’m climbing uphill, Jamie |
| Climbing uphill |
| I’m up every morning at six |
| And standing in line |
| With two hundred girls |
| Who are younger and thinner than me |
| Who have already been to the gym |
| I’m waiting five hours in line |
| And watching the girls |
| Just coming and going |
| In dresses that look just like this |
| Till my number is finally called |
| When I walk in the room |
| There’s a table of men |
| Always men — usually gay |
| Who’ve been sitting like I have |
| And listening all day |
| To two hundred girls |
| Belting as high as they can! |
| I am a good person |
| I’m an attractive person |
| I am a talented person |
| Grant me Grace! |
| When you come home… |
| I should have told them I was sick last week |
| They’re gonna think this is the way I sing |
| Why is the pianist playing so loud? |
| Should I sing louder? |
| I’ll sing louder |
| Maybe I should stop and start over |
| I’m gonna stop and start over |
| Why is the director staring at his crotch? |
| Why is that man staring at my resume? |
| Don’t stare at my resume |
| I made up half of my resume |
| Look at me |
| Stop looking at that, look at me |
| No, not at my shoes |
| Don’t look at my shoes |
| I hate these stupid shoes |
| Why did I pick these shoes? |
| Why did I pick this song? |
| Why did I pick this career? |
| Why does this pianist hate me? |
| If I don’t get a callback |
| I can go to Crate & Barrel with Mom and buy a couch |
| Not that I want to spend a day with Mom |
| But Jamie needs space to write |
| Since I’m obviously such a horrible, annoying distraction to him |
| What’s he gonna be like when we have kids? |
| And once again… |
| Why am I working so hard? |
| These are the people who cast Russell Crowe in a musical |
| Jesus Christ, I suck, I suck, I suck, I suck |
| When fin’lly you come home to… |
| Okay, thank you |
| Thank you so much |
| I will not be the girl stuck at home in the 'burbs |
| With the baby, the dog, and the garden of herbs |
| I will not be the girl in the sensible shoes |
| Pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues |
| I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels |
| To be trotting along at the genius' heels |
| I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by |
| And I |
