The Other One Lyrics by Original Cast of Love in Hate Nation

Love In Hate Nation (Original Cast Recording)

2022

[SHEILA]
Ever since I was a child
I never had a crowd
I was much too harsh, too wild
Too stinkin’ loud
Nuns and judges, they shed some tears
Said “This delinquent she just terrifies all her peers”
So I tried to play it straight
But I just played in the mud
Since the age of eight
Rebellion was just in my blood
They go red in the face and they pull their hair
Cuz I was a basket case, never really seemed to care
There are two girls in a line
One is doing fine
I’m the other one
One’s in a dress
I’m a muddy mess
I’m the other one
Oo, Lord, to be the other one
Who doesn’t quite fit in
The other one is all I’ve ever been
And that’s how I like it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
Why do you like being the odd man out?
[SHEILA, spoken]
It's the mystique I cultivate. Tells everybody: "Don't mess with her." Just steer clear
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
I have that mystique as well. I just don't, uh, cultivate it
[SUSANNAH]
Whenever I approach
Most people just walk away
But the sad part is
I know they’d likely despise me
If they decided to stay
There are two girls in a line
One has got that shine
I’m the other one
Blending in is easy for some
I’m the sorest thumb
I’m the other one
Oh I’ve always been the other one
Who never quite fits in
The other one is all I’ve ever been
And I don’t like it
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
[SHEILA]
Why would you wanna be the same as all the people
All the suckers, making homes and planning parties
Feeding babies, cleaning dishes, serving coffee
Serving every man in sight a Wonder Bread and peanut butter
Feeling dead but clearing clutter
Your bed so cold and growing mold
But it was sold to you at Abraham & Strauss
One of your spouse's favorite stores
And cuz it's his that means it's yours
You're a minion your opinion is worth less
Than an ordinary house cat
Why you wanna be that?
Like every other person that you know?
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
Cuz it's easier?
[SHEILA, spoken]
Is it, though?
[SUSANNAH]
All I know is when I see a crowd
I have to figure out how to enter
And for once I’d like to feel like I was just in the center
[SHEILA]
There are two girls in the john
One is real far gone
I'm the other one
[SUSANNAH]
The other one
[SHEILA]
The other one
[SUSANNAH]
One girl pretends that she don’t care
As she fidgets with her hair
I’m the other one
[SHEILA]
The other one
[BOTH]
Who decides who is the other one?
Is that all I’ll ever be?
Even when I have another other one standing next to me
And I guess I don’t know how to feel about it
Nuh-uh, nuh
No, no, no, no-ooh oh, no, ooh, no, no, no, no-ooh oh
No, no, no, no-ooh oh, oooh
No, no, no (no, no, no)
No, no, no, no (no)
No-ooh oh ooh
No, no, no, no-ooh oh ooh!
