about

With whimsical lyrics drawn from childrens' songs and games, this poignant look at love features a moving cello solo.

lyrics

You thought you figured it out in school
But lately its not the same
Cuz when you play by the big kids’ rules
It’s a whole different game
You step on a crack and take giant steps back
Cuz you didn’t say may I before
You fell down and you broke your crown
You don’t feel like a princess any more
And the last one in love is out they say
If it’s true- whatcha gonna do?
Waiting is easy for true believers
Why oh why oh you- Whatcha gonna do?

You pointed west to the one you love best
You wrote his name on the wall
You took a daisy counted yes, no and maybe
Till there wasn’t a flower at all
But he treated you cold- he kissed and he told
He tore the bow from your hair
What if he started it- you’re broken hearted
It seems like the boys don’t play fair
And the last one in love is out they say
If it’s true- whatcha gonna do?
Waiting is easy for true believers
Why oh why oh you/ Whatcha gonna do?

Each Jack and each Jill heading up on the hill
But you never play in the rain
Then when they’re gone put your blindfold back on
And count to a million again
Rover, red rover, let me come over
Gonna cross my heart and die
There’s a ring around Rosie’s finger
But somehow it’s passing you by

Hiding and seeking and no fair peeking
Or pick up your heart and go home
Maybe you’re it or maybe you’re out
But somehow you wind up alone
And you’re getting better at sitting it out
You just blend in with the wall
Staying at home, disconnecting the phone
Now you’re not playing at all
And the last one in love is out they say
If it’s true- whatcha gonna do?
Waiting is easy for true believers
Why oh why oh you/ Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?
