"As Needed for Pain" written by Annie Robinette ©2006

Lovingly inspired by the life of Judy Garland and prayerfully dedicated to all sufferers of addiction. Thank you for watching.

LYRICS:
They groomed me for stardom
I'll bloom where they planted me
America's sweetheart
A precious commodity
I'ts just a sound stage
Of a playground I'll never see
Here's a little something
To quell your anxiety

(chorus)
Take this one today to keep you on your feet
And take that one tonight if you can't fall asleep
And take all these to keep you from going insane
Take three to four daily as needed for pain

A media starlet
Another interview
Thumbs up from the critics
The film got rave reviews
Just one more take dear
But my head hurts so bad
Don't worry sweet thing
We've got something for that

(chorus)

Roll speed action
Here's where the bad guy appears
Now here comes your closeup
I wanna see real tears
Simple perfection
That's all we ask of you
No pressure baby
Our profits are riding on you

(solo)

Now I'm barely twenty
And I feel so worn and frail
But I know what to do now
Because you taught me so well

(chorus)

Take this one today to keep you on your feet
(I'm just a child)
And take that one tonight if you can't fall asleep
(I learned my lines)
And take all these to keep you from going insane
(Look at my eyes)
Take three to four daily as needed for pain
(I feel so tired)

Dear Annie: It was indeed a highlight of my life to meet you and hear you perform this song. I owe that happening, to the love of my life, Camille Moseley, as you well know. God has blessed you with a wonderful gift...and blessed US and all of your friends and audience for the opportunity to hear you.
