Ivy Robbins and Heidi Thomas – To Be Me

Letra “Ivy Robbins and Heidi Thomas – To Be Me” Official Lyrics

Verse 1

CATH

It’s really pretty simple
Turning dough into bread
I can sit here in the kitchen
And ignore what they’ve said
You might think this sounds crazy
But this is what I can control
It keeps me from lashing out
About the future that they stole

Chorus

CATH

They don’t understand
How it feels to be me
But they don’t know I plan to
Steal back my destiny
I’m waiting for the right chance
It’s not so fun at first glance
I’m gonna take a stand to be free
To be me

MARCHIONESS, spoken

Catherine! Where are you?!

CATH, spoken

Oh no! I lost track of time!

MARY ANN, spoken

I almost forgot! Your mother wants you to wear this
Best get you cleaned up before she sees you and calls for both of our heads

CATH, spoken

Not so tight Mary Ann! I’d like to breathe thank you very much

MARY ANN, spoken

Cath don’t be such a jellyfish, it’s just one night!

CATH, spoken

Mary Ann! I’d like to eat dinner!

MARY ANN, spoken

Almost done! Little more…ok!

Verse 2

MARY ANN

It’s really very simple
Getting ready on time
I don’t wanna get in trouble
Plus you really smell like limes

CATH, spoken

They’re lemons

Chorus

CATH

But you don’t understand
How it feels to be me

MARY ANN

Clearly you don’t understand
How it feels in the lovely servantry

BOTH

I’m waiting for the right chance

MARY ANN

This isn’t fun at first glance

BOTH

I hope we take a stand to be free
To be me

Bridge

MARCHIONESS

Well she’ll be quite the spectacle
In a good way I presume
She’ll look quite ineffable
And I hope we can assume
The King will be watching
Her while she is walking
And nothing will be in our way
My dream will be lived out
Through her and I don’t doubt
To thank me there’ll be no delay

MARCHIONESS, spoken

Do hurry Catherine! We mustn’t be late for the ball!

Verse 3

ENSEMBLE

Quite the spectacle
That much was aforesaid

WHITE RABBIT

All too typical
The girl shows up in red

Chorus 3

CATH

They don’t understand
How it feels to be me

ENSEMBLE

How it feels to be

CATH and MARY ANN

Wish they could understand
That I just want to be free

ENSEMBLE

The King’s waiting for the right chance
To ask lucky girls to dance

ALL WOMEN

To be frank, I hope he chooses me!

CATH
I wanna be free
To be me

ENSEMBLE

To be me

CATH
To be me

ENSEMBLE
To be me

CATH

To be me
