Lyrics:
Cassie: (Spoken) I can't get a job zach... God, you sound like all my friends - my fans. Acting like I'm a star and don't know it - when the truth is I never even came close and nobody has the guts to tell me. Well, it would be nice to be a star... But I'm not, I'm a dancer. (Singing) Give me somebody to dance for, Give me somebody to show. Let me wake up in the morning to find I have somewhere exciting to go. Zach: So, you're going through a slow period, it happens to everyone. Something will happen. Cassie: That's what I kept telling myself in california, and I kept telling myself that and telling myself that... Well... Nothing will happen. I can't act. Zach: What? Cassie: I can't act. And there I am in california supposed to be this actress. Well, it didn't take me long to find out I can't act... Didn't take hollywood very long either. Zach: You didn't work out there? Cassie: Oh, sure... A rotten part in a so-so film - part ended up getting cut, thank god - I was a go-go dancer in a tv movie of the week. Let's see - oh, yeah - commercials, I almost got to squeeze a roll of toilet paper but I lost out in the finals. Isn't' that something? Seventeen years in the business and I end up flunking toilet paper squeezing? And I was a dancing band-aid - that was fun... We had an earthquake... And I got a terrific tan - and surely you must have heard about... Zach: I did hear you were going out with some big agent. Being a bit wild, running around, carrying on... Cassie: Well, when you're a woman of leisure what else is there to do but get a bit wild and run around? Not to mention getting fat - and going crazy - which is why I came back to new york and which is why I am here today, zach, old dear... Little cat. I need a job. (Singing) To have something that I can believe in. To have something to be. Use me... Choose me Zach: I just can't see you dancing in the chorus, cassie. Cassie: Why not? Zach: Listen, if you need some money, call my business manager. Cassie: Well, sure I need money. Who doesn't? But I don't need a handout. I need a job. I need a job and I don't know any other way to say it. Do you want me to say it again? Zach: No. Cassie: Fine, then we got that far. Look, I haven't worked in two years, not really. There's nothing left for me to do. So - I'm putting myself on the line. (stepping to the line) yes I'm putting myself on your line. I don't want to wait on tables. And what I really don't want to do is teach other people how to do what I should be doing myself... (Singing) God, I'm a dancer, A dancer dances! Give me somebody to dance with. Give me a place to fit in Help me return to the world of living By showing me how to begin. Play me the music, Give me a chance to come through. All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, And the chance to dance for you. Give me a job and you instantly get me involved. If you give me a job, Then the rest of the crap will get solved. Put me to work, You would think that by now I'm allowerd. I'll do you proud! Throw me a rope to grab on to. Help me to prove that I'm strong. Give me the chance to look forward to sayin': "hey, listen they're playin' my song." Play me the music. Give me a chance to come through. All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, And a chance to dance... (Mirrors are now turned, dance section) Play me the music. Play me the music. Play me the music. Give me a chance to come through. All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, And a chance to dance... (Flying mirrors come in. Dance section)
