It Will Never Be That Way Again lyrics
It Will Never Be That Way Again
Once life was simple,
And entres nous
I was an ordinary nothing
(to audience member.)
Just like you
A ho hum colorless routine,
My life of laundry and caffeine
I was a mother and a housewife,
Way back when,
It will never be that way again
I lost the apron
I found my voice
When you're born to entertain
You have no choice
As someone blessed with great success
I know I must not acquiesce
If tempted to indulge
A housewife yen
It will never be that way again
The truth is, last night - and this is strictly between us, i was lying in bed fighting an urge to defrost my freezer. (Beat.) There's more. I've had this crazy notion of giving up a sold-out matinee to sit alone and listen to the warm hum of a vacuum cleaner. (Finds hidden stash of lemon pledge.) Sometimes all i can think about is that sweet metallic screechy sound it makes when you set up an ironing board. (Sprays Pledge on surface.) Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying i want to iron. I don't! I can't! I'm a star! (Snorts pledge off surface.)
Now people love me
From hell to maine
All I want is all of you
And expensive champagne
Once long ago and far away
Before this broad was on Broadway
I had a broom, not just an ego.
Way back when
Now i star in Broadway shows
Cause in my veins the talent flows
This time I’m doing it for me, mama!
It will never be that way again!
