I accepted the part br Because I liked the leading man so much br He excited me br But the truth is br I am not comfortable waiting in the wings br My life orientation is br Being the leading lady br I have too much energy br And I know the play too well br To be the chorus girl br In that role br I am unutilized br I feel suppressed br And I do oppress others br So now br I must take my exit br Through the backstage door br Sorry for the tension and confusion br I’m just not the ideal leading lady’s understudy br Thanks for the privileges br For the tender moments that we shared br But most of all br Thank you for br Another profound experience br That’s taking me closer to my quest for fulfillmentbr br Fleurette Elaine Harrisbr br
