When He Sees Me Lyrics by Kimiko Glenn

Waitress (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[DAWN]
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what?
[JENNA & BECKY, spoken]
What?
[DAWN]
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
With a stranger who might talk too fast
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
He can ask me questions about myself
He might sit too close
Or call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before the cream?
But what scares me the most
What scares me the most
Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So that when he sees me, I want him to
[JENNA, spoken]
Dawn, don't you think you're being a little, I mean maybe just a tad--
[DAWN]
I'm not defensive!
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating
Why a certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
Sorry girls
But he could be criminal, some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from an institution
Somewhere where they don't have girls
He could have masterminded some way to find me
He could be colorblind
How untrustworthy is that
He could be less than kind
Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
What do I do with that?
Oh, God
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again
