Lyrics Why Not Me? - Molly Ranson , Kids

Breathe
This will be great

Nails? Dried
Bow? Tied
Teeth? Brushed
Face? Flushed

Looking good!
Got the car! (Score!)
Keg party! (Double score!)
Unbuckle it!
Kick that shit!
Safety off!
Hey, how 'bout a maybe? (Drive!)
Safety off!
Smokes?
Got 'em! (Gettin' it up, gettin' it up!)
Breathe (Paces, heart races)
One shot
Ready? Not

If I can make it down the stairs
If I can make it to the door
If I can open it and say
"Oh, Tommy! Hi!"

Maybe he won't even notice
That I am staring at the floor
But if other girls can do this
Why can't I?

If I can keep my knees from buckling
If I can keep my pulse in check
Then I will never give the world a chance to see
That underneath the smile I'm smiling
I'm so totally a wreck

But if other girls get through this, why not me?
Why not me?
Why not me?

Oh, I anticipate the snickers
I expect the kids will stare
But they won't rattle me
No matter what they do

I know I may not be welcome
But at least I will be there
And if other girls belong, then I do too

Why not me?
Why not me?

I know it's only a dance
And I know it's only one night
But this might be the start of my journey
Out of the shadows, and into the light!

Why not me?

I'm gonna talk above a whisper
I'm gonna walk in 3 inch heels
I'm gonna fight the urge to turn around and flee

And then I will feel the magic I'm told anyone can feel
When the stars align
And life is filled with possibilities

And if everybody feels that way, then why
Why not me?
