Karaoké I'm Breaking Down Falsettos (musical) & Stephanie J. Block

I'd like to be a princess on a throne

To have a country I can call my own

And a king who's lusty and requires a fling with a female thing

Great

Men will be men

Let me turn on the gas

I caught them in the den with Marvin grabbing

Whizzer's ass

Oh sure I'm sure he's sure he did his best

I mean he meant to be what he was not

The things he was are things which I forgot

He's a queen

I'm a queen

Where is my crown

I'm breaking down

I'm breaking down

My life is shitty and my kid seems like an idiot to me

I mean that's sick

I mean he's great

It's me who is the matter

Talking madder than the maddest hatter

If I repeat one more word

I swear

I'll lose my brain

Oh what else should I explain

Oh yes it's true

I can cry on cue but so can you

I'm breaking down

I'm breaking down

Down, down

You ask me Is it fun to cry over nothing

It is

I'm breaking down

Now let's consider what I might do next

I hate admitting

I've become perplexed

I'm bereaved

I've cried, I've shook

I've yelled, I've heaved

I have been deceived

As enemies go

Whizzer is not so bad

It's just he's so damn happy that it makes me so damn mad

I wanna hate him but I really can't

It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds

I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs

Don't is wrong, sing along

What was the noun

I'm breaking down

I'm breaking down

I'll soon redecorate these stalls

I'd like some padding on the walls

And also pills

I wanna sleep

Sure things will probably worsen but it's not like

I'm some healthy person

Hhh oh

I've rethought my talks with Marv and one fact does emerge

Oh

I think I like his shrink

So that is why I might turn to drink

I'm on the brink of breaking down

I'm breaking down

Down, down

I only wanna love a man who can love me or like me or help me

Help me

Marvin was never mine

He took his meetings in the boys' latrine

I used to cry

He'd make a scene

I'd rather die than dry-clean

Marvin's wedding gown

I'm breaking down

I'm breaking down

It's so upsetting when you've found that what's rectangular is round

I mean it stinks

I mean he's queer

And me I'm just a freak who needs it maybe every other week

I don't know

I've rethought the fun we've had and one fact does emerge

I've played the foolish clown

The almost virgin who sings this dirge is on the verge

Of breaking down

I'm breaking down

Down, down

The only thing that's breaking up is my family

The only thing that's breaking up is my family but me I'm breaking

Down
