Back The Way (dottie's Point Of View

Back the way it was before

Before the door was opened

Back the way it was berfore

Before the ice was broken

Back the way it used to be

Everyone thought I was funny

But nobody ever asked me

If I wanted tiny little sandwiches

Sent up to my room



Back the way it was before

I was always waiting

Everybody thought I was okay

But now I'm scintillating

But the way it used to be

Some people thought I was pretty

But not many passes were made at me

Back the way it was before



But now my prayers are answered

And my star is on the rise

Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping

Everyone's my best friend



Back the way it used to be

Money was always a tyrant

I spent it all paying my rent

Back the way I was before

But now my prayers are answered

And my star is on the rise

Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping

Everyone's my best friend



Back the way it used to be

Sing a song of long ago

Back the way it used to be
