Is This What Feeling Gets? (Dorothy's Theme)

(album: The Wiz - 1978)

Feeling?
Feeling?
Swear to God this is more than I can deal with
Thinking back on that old song
Where did I go wrong by caring and sharing
Mean together no matter
I can't stand not knowing
Is this what feeling gets
A hope for happy endings?
Alone and scared
Something I don't want to be
What did he see when he looked inside of me?
If this is just a dream
How come I feel like screaming?
This is the real world
Gotta do what you must, girl

Well
Can I?
Can I?
Is this what feeling gets?
So is there a happy ending?
There's nothing here but the fear of
Will I try?
And can I stare it in the eye
Not ever knowing why?

Please
Please
Can someone tell me why?
