Carolee Carmello - Do It Alone lyrics

[LUCILLE] 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 [LEO, spoken] Lucille, how can you say that? [LUCILLE] 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
