Woman of the World - Original Broadway Cast of Shucked & Alex Newell

You had it all And then you threw it all away You had control But now I'm taking it away It's all a game And I'm the winner with the prize I've got my soul I've got my love, I've got my life And nothing feels the same Tonight But something had to change I'm not just someone else's girl I am a woman of the world I'm soaring, flying, riding high and free And nothing's gonna get to me I am a woman of the world I'm living life like it was meant to be And nothing's gonna get to me I've got it all The only player in the game I'm moving on I hope that you can do the same I know my friends got my back And I love the way we rock and roll, ooh I know my friends got my back They pick me up when I fall, ooh And nothing feels the same Tonight But something had to change I'm not just someone else's girl I am a woman of the world I'm soaring, flying, riding high and free And nothing's gonna get to me I am a woman of the world I'm living life like it was meant to be And nothing's gonna get to me Sometimes we have to break free Love's not always what we need it to be I'm not just someone else's girl I am a woman of the world I'm soaring, flying, riding high and free And nothing's gonna get to me I am a woman of the world I'm living life like it was meant to be And nothing's gonna get to me

When she was just a girl She became a woman of the world Soon there wasn't room enough for her In between the bosoms of her family She popped the cork, got on the Greyhound to New York Small-talked her way round just the sort Of playboys' playground she'd once dreamed about Maybe I love her, but I'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world She's a fake!—sure, but she's a real fake On the make!—making up for lost time Just you wait!—hey, give the girl a break And a fifty dollar bill will see to that Heh, that ain't enough to feed the cat Serve up the rats and super rats Well they just get fatter while she fades away Maybe I love her, but I'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world Maybe I hate her, 'cause I didn't create her It's human nature, girl Maybe I'll suffer, just to be her lover Just to be part of her world Maybe I need her, because I want to be her baby, can I be your girl? Maybe I'll kill her, just trying to thrill her if she don't kill me first We're making eye-contact Oh those hypnotic eyes attract Such philanthropic flies—that's that. You cannot stop it, so why the devil do you try?

Hammond-Hazelwood It isn't easy to say goodbye I try to understand the reason why My body is shaking My heart is aching within me From my window I watch you go He's waiting for you in the street below His arms wide open while mine are cold and so empty 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one And your life and my life they've gone separated ways In yours a new tomorrow In mine the sorrow Knocking on the lonely one Through the teardrops that cloud my eyes I see the image of the love gone by A silhouette that I won't forget for a long time The days are longer now that you're gone Without your loving arms to keep me whole My future lies on a cloudy skies with no sunshine 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one And your life and my life they've gone separated ways In yours a new tomorrow In mine the sorrow Knocking on the lonely one"

Joy to the world, the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room And Heaven and nature sing And Heaven and nature sing And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing Joy to the world, the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders, wonders, of His love Joy to the world, the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room And Heaven and nature sing (And Heaven and nature sing) And Heaven and nature sing (And Heaven and nature sing) And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
