All Grown Up - Cast Recording

NADIA

Hey, if you say so…

Y’know, I can’t believe you missed rehearsal again

It isn’t all about you!

It affects the rest of us, what you do Look, what’s wrong with you?

IVY

Nothing

NADIA

Poor Ivy, stuck wanting the one thing she can’t have

IVY

You think you know me…

NADIA

Yeah, you know what?

I am so sick of you moping around when you’ve had

The world handed to you because you’re pretty

IVY

I’d trade places with you in a fucking heartbeat

Remember back in 7th grade

Endless games of truth or dare

Double dates in dark arcades

When I close my eyes I’m there

I think my mother took this picture

Back when were all just friends

Memories that fade and flicker

Burn again when I pretend

Life is short and life is strange

Trouble now and troubled past

Times have changed they rearrange

And little girls grow up so fast

Feel it how it grows inside me Swirling ball of anguished cries

Haunted daunted so unwanted

Feel its anger in me rise

Dream a dream then end another

Life is there to interrupt

Someone out there call me mother

Look at me mom all grown up Good Catholic girl, her soul is saved

And now of course it comes to this

If only Ivy had behaved

Or ever stopped at just a kiss

It hits me paralyzing shudder

Face the music take a bow

Just another unwed mother

One more sad statistic now

Dream a dream then end another

Life is there to interrupt

Someone out there call my mother

Look at me I’m all grown up Look at me I’m all grown up Little lies and big decisions

Who to tell and where to go Follow someone else’s vision

Or trust my own?

cause I don’t know

Am I suppose to love this child?

Is it just that simple then?

Tell me how this change will happen

Tell me how and tell me when

Tell me how and tell me when

Dream a dream and end another

Life is there to interrupt

Someone out there tell my mother

Look at me I’m all grown up Story ends in total damage

It’s an unforgiving world

17 how will I manage

How can I

I’m just a girl
