Side Show: Who Will Love Me As I Am? (Voice) - Alice Ripley/Emily Skinner/Side Show Original Broadway Cast
Like a fish plugged
From the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that
I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am
Like an odd exotic creature
On display inside a zoo
Hearing children
Asking questions
Makes me ask some questions too
Could we bend the laws of nature
Could a lion love a lamb
Who could see
Beyond this surface
Who will love me as I am
Who will ever call
To say I love you'
Send me flowers or a telegram
Who will proudly stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
Like a clown who's
Tears cause laughter
Trapped inside
The center ring
Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering
Who would want to
Join this madness
Who would change my monogram
Who will be part of my circus
Who will live me as I am
Who will ever call to
Say 'I love you'
Send me flowers or a telegram
Who could proudly
Stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
Who could proudly
Stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
