Look at Me Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Violet

Violet (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2014

[VIOLET]
Look at me
No one will look at me
No one will dare to spend
The time it takes to
Look at me –
To really look at me
What did I do to make
You angry at me
My God
This is so hard
Look at me
Look at me
Can you imagine
What it's like when people
Look at me –
Look at me
Is this the tender mercy
That you're known for
My God
Don't be so hard
Give me the wings
Of an angel
Don't pull back
Don't shudder
Look elsewhere
Lose interest
I'm almost there
This is where the preacher stands
Two kinds of people in this world
All I have are promises
To raise me up and set me free
I'd like a pair of Gene Tierney eyes
And Ava Gardner's eyebrows
And anybody's cheekbones
A different mouth
Beneath a new
And better nose –
And please, the eyes –
But God, give me something!
Something of my own
Something mine
So I won't
Be ashamed
When I find a man
To look at me
Why won't you look at me
It was an accident
Or was it really?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
Look at me!
[VIOLET]
Goddammit, look at me
[VIOLET & YOUNG VI]
This is your handiwork
The gift you gave me
[FATHER, spoken]
So what? Once I look at you, then what. Here I am, looking at you. Satisfied?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
You act like it's my fault. 
[FATHER, spoken]
I'm not the one who up and decides one day the woodshed is the place to play. 
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
I'm not the one who doesn't check to see his blade is loose!
[FATHER, spoken]
It wasn't loose, damn you. The shim came out. Nobody checks the shim every time he uses his axe. 
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
I'll bet you check it now.
[VIOLET]
Don't pull back
 
 
Don't shudder
Look elsewhere
Lose interest
 
 
Act distant
Embarrassed
 
 
You better
Be careful
'Cause I won't
Accept this
Not this time
I'm almost there
[VIOLET, spoken]
God, I just want you to apologize.
