Ann Harada - Stepsisters' Lament lyrics

CHARLOTTE Why would a fellow want a girl like her A frail and fluffy beauty? Why can't a fellow ever once prefer A solid girl like me? She's a frothy little bubble With a flimsy kind of charm And with very little trouble I could break her little arm!! LADY OF THE COURT Ow. Ow! CHARLOTTE Why would a fellow want a girl like her So obviously unusual? Why can't a fellow ever once prefer A usual girl like me? A SECOND LADY OF THE COURT Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink CHARLOTTE But not any pinker than a rose is A THIRD LADY OF THE COURT Her skin may be delicate and soft CHARLOTTE But not any softer than a doe's is A FOURTH LADY OF THE COURT Her neck is no whiter than a swan's LADY She's only as dainty as a daisy CHARLOTTE She's only as graceful as a bird So why is the fellow going crazy? CHARLOTTE & THE LADIES OF THE COURT Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her A girl who's merely lovely Why can't a fellow ever once prefer A girl who's merely me? What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? CHARLOTTE Yes, he's witty So disarming And I like the way he really holds a room Clever cunning Ever charming How do I make him see I'm special? It's a pity LADIES OF THE COURT It's a pity CHARLOTTE I'm as pretty LADIES OF THE COURT I'm as pretty ALL Plus I've got the patience Of a perfect saint So I'm waiting Always waiting Nevertheless I'm in a mess CHARLOTTE Loosen my dress Help me I'm starting to faint! LADIES OF THE COURT Why would a fellow want a girl like her A girl who isn't dizzy Why can't a fellow ever once prefer CHARLOTTE A high-strung girl like me CHARLOTTE (and WOMEN) Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink (What's the matter with the man?) But not any pinker than a rose is (What's the matter with the man?) Her skin may be delicate and soft (What's the matter with the man?) But not any softer than a doe's is Her neck is no whiter than a swan's (What's the matter with the man?) She's only as dainty as a daisy (What's the matter with the man?) She's only as graceful as a bird (What's the matter?) ALL So why is the fellow going crazy? Oh, oh Why would a fellow want a girl like her A girl who's merely lovely? Why can't a fellow ever once prefer A girl who's merely me? LADIES OF THE COURT What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? CHARLOTTE She's the matter Let me at her!!! CHARLOTTE & LADIES OF THE COURT What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? CHARLOTTE What's the matter with the man?
