Parents And Children

Lyrics

[GINGER] You're not my only reason to exist, dear When I think of all the life I might have missed, dear Yes, I had a life before your birth, dear You're not my only reason to be Living here on earth, dear Being a mother is only a fraction Even a mother's entitled to action Don't get me wrong, kid I know the score But I've done double duty And now I want more I fed you, I dressed you You sneezed and I God-blessed you Now I have a life Much more than a wife [TINA] I am your kid And there's no going back, Mom I'm here and now I think I'll go unpack, Mom Whatever I am, Mom I owe it to you So you can't disregard me And discard me on cue My lawyers all agree Good or bad luck, Mom You're stuck, Mom, with me [JUDY] Let's be calm, let's not shout Let's try and understand What this is really all about [JUDY & TINA] Who'd have thought We'd come to this position Mother Daughter locked in competition [JUDY & TINA] And all I'm wanting (All I'm saying) All I'm hoping [JUDY & TINA] All I'm praying Is for you to look at [JUDY & TINA] Me (Look at me) Look at me (Look at me) Look at me (Look at me) Look at [TINA] Me! [JUDY] Me! [TINA] Me! [JUDY] Me! [GINGER, spoken] Look at me! I am Ginger Del Marco I'm a star and I love it I love ev'ry minute of it And I'll be damned if You're gonna upstage me again [JUDY & TINA] Parents and children So often like strangers Compete for attention, vie for respect Parents and children Acting like strangers And if you take moment to reflect You'll see we're no different From any family [TINA] You're my mother [JUDY] You're my daughter [JUDY & TINA] Look at me!
