I Am I Lyrics

I'm standing here
Just left off center
And something ain't clear
When did I sign on the line of this decree?
Stuck in a show where I am playing me
I'm trapped in a hole
Nowhere to go with my role
Straining my neck for an exit that sets me free
Stuck in a role where I am playing me
I insist I could make 'em misty

Hiding inside Miss Anna Christie
And lord knows I could raise the roof
Playing the maid that goofs in Tartuffe
And I could carry the history of playing a dude
In the title role of The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Not a chance for my career to advance
And there's no straight guys here for me to romance
I guess I'll swallow my pride
And make the best of the rest of this spree
Stuck in a show where
I
Playing
Me
