Lea Michele - At the Ballet lyrics

Santana: Daddy always thought that he married beneath him That's what he said, that's what he said When he proposed he informed my mother It was probably her very last chance And though she was twenty-two Though she was twenty-two Though she was twenty-two She married him Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic More like a "Come as you are," When I was five I remember my mother Dug earrings out of the car I knew that they weren't hers But it wasn't something you'd wanna discuss He wasn't warm Well, not to her Well, not to us But everything was beautiful at the ballet Graceful men lift lovely girls in white Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet I was happy... at the ballet That's when I started ballet cla** Kurt, Rachel, and Santana (Rachel): Up a steep and very narrow stairway (To the voice like a metronome) Up a steep and very narrow stairway Santana: It wasn't paradise... Kurt: It wasn't paradise... Santana with Kurt: It wasn't paradise... Isabelle: But it was home Mother always said I'd be very attractive When I grew up, when I grew up "Different," she said, "With a special something And a very, very personal flair." And though I was eight or nine Though I was eight or nine Though I was eight or nine I hated her Now, "Different" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty "Pretty" is what it's about I never met anyone who was "different" Who couldn't figure that out So beautiful I'd never lived to see But it was clear If not to her Well, then to me Isabelle (with Rachel): That (everyone is beautiful at the ballet.) Kurt: Every prince has got to have his swan Rachel with Isabelle and Kurt: Yes, everyone is beautiful at the ballet (Rachel: Hey) Isabelle and Kurt: I was pretty Santana: At the ballet Isabelle: I was born to save their marriage But, when my father came to pick my mother up At the hospital He said, "Well, I thought this was going to help But I guess not..." A few months later he left and he never came back Anyway, I had this fantastic fantasy life I used to dance around the living room With my arms up like this And in my fantasy, there was an Indian Chief... And he would say to me "Izzie, do you wanna dance?" And I would say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!" Isabelle (Kurt): (Doo-doo-doo-doo) But it was clear... Santana (Kurt): (Doo-doo-doo) When he proposed... Rachel (Kurt): (Doo-doo-doo) That I was born to help their marriage and when (Doo-doo-doo-doo) Isabelle (Kurt): That's what she said... (Doo-doo-doo) Santana (Kurt): That's what he said... (Doo-doo-doo) Rachel (Isabelle and Kurt): I used to dance around the living room... (Doo-doo-doo-doo) Santana (Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel): He wasn't warm... (Doo-doo-doo) Not to her... Isabelle: It was an Indian chief and he'd say: "Izzie, do you wanna dance?" And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..." Rachel and Santana: Everything was beautiful at the ballet Raise your arms and someone's always there Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet The ballet The ballet! Isabelle, Kurt, Rachel, and Santana: Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet. (Rachel: Hey...) Isabelle: I was pretty... Santana: I was happy... Kurt: "I would love to..." Isabelle, Kurt, Rachel, and Santana: At the ballet...
