Do It Alone

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
