Parade movie - Do it Alone lyrics

rate me

<br>

LUCILLE<br>

Do it alone, Leo - do it all by yourself.<br>

You're the only one who matters after all.<br>

Do it alone, Leo - why should it bother me?<br>

I'm just good for standing in the shadows<br>

And staring at the walls, Leo.<br>

Fight them, strong and proud - <br>

Pray your voice is loud,<br>

Loud enough to make it through that door.<br>

What on earth have I been worried for?<br>

Soon I won't be worried anymore.<br>

<br>

LEO<br>

Lucille, how can you say that?<br>

<br>

LUCILLE<br>

No, do it alone, Leo - now there's the right idea:<br>

Make me feel as useless as you always have.<br>

Do it alone, Leo - what could a woman do?<br>

After all, so many people love you,<br>

They're dancing in the streets, Leo.<br>

Only you know how<br>

To change the future now -<br>

No one knows the pain you're going through -<br>

No one else is suffering but you.<br>

I could be a quiet little girl<br>

And cook your little meal,<br>

And swallow all I feel,<br>

And bow to your command;<br>

Or I could start to screa,<br>

Across the whole damned South<br>

And never shut my mouth<br>

Until they understand.<br>

<br>

But I can't do it alone, Leo.<br>

Look at me now, Leo.<br>

I can be more:<br>

I can bring you home, Leo.<br>

We can bring you home, Leo.<br>

I want you to come home.<br>

<br>
