For The Gaze - Megan Hilty/'Death Becomes Her' Original Broadway Cast

Lyrics by：Julia Mattison/Noel Carey

Composed by：Julia Mattison/Noel Carey

Produced by：Scott M. Riesett/Sean Patrick Flahaven/Julia Mattison/Noel Carey

Why is a girl like me

Sitting here in this chair

Combing her hair

And painting her face in the chase

To stay young and beautiful

Is it the fact that I'm attracted

To each kernel of external validation

In a world that keeps me insecure

To sell me needless crap

Or is it something new

Would you believe it to be true

That I'd do it all for you

For that glimmer in your eye

For your gaze

I'd trade my fortune

For the chance to be

Enveloped in that special

Way you glance at me

I feel like I can have

It all the moment that

I fall into that gaze

The look of recognition in your eyes

Is all it takes to

Have me hooked and hypnotized

It's the feeling of

Pure ecstasy to be

Seen the way that I see me

Yes everything I do is for the gaze

I'll do an outfit change I'll do a twirl

I'll do just about anything to be your girl

I'll 'cause a scene to make you stare

I'll take the trip from here to there

While serving Cleopatra on a chaise

I'll give you choreo and legs for days

I'll go one step beyond

And give you grands jetés

I'll be your tiny dancing queen

Your Judy Gaga Cher Celine

I'll option up on

Certain matine-yeah-es

But only for the gaze

Ooh she won't go quietly

Or be ignored it's true

Be careful if you push her

She'll go overboard

Splish splash

With every move we love her more

We love her 'cause

She does it for the gays

I'm just a twenty something ingenue

Babbling before you

Begging for your praise

Please love me

Give me the gaze

The gays love me

I need the gaze

The gays love me

The gays love me

The gays love me

The gays love me

Oh it's the greatest gift

The greatest love

The greatest love to

Get to be a member of

'Cause if you ask me

When push comes to shove

It's for the gaze

It's for the gays

It's for the gays

It's for the gays

Forgive me if I'm coming on too strong

I just want to be loved

And feel like I belong

That's why I wear this little gown

And sing this little song

It's for the gaze

It's for the gays

It's for the gays

I'd do anything for

She'd do anything for

We all know that this

Whole damn show is for

The gaze

All for the gays the gays

Anything for the gaze gays
