I'm Breaking Down - Stephanie J. Block

I’d like to be a princess on a throne

To have a country I could 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 berieved

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 is makes me so damn mad

I want to 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

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 bring of breaking down

I’m breaking down

Down, down

I only want to 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 boy’s latrine

I used to cry, he’d make a scene

I rather die than dry clean Marvin’s wedding gown

I’m breaking down

I’m breaking down

It’s so upsetting when I 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
