"What Do I Think of Me" act 1 ballad from "Green Room"

Anna (Ms. Prim and proper) and John (Super Jock) are in the middle of rehearsing a scene from Molieres Tartuffe. John decides to put the move on his long time girlfriend Anna and she rejects him and confesses to her fear of him not being around afterwards.

ANNA

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT NOW?
WHAT IS IT YOU NEED?
I CAN'T LET MY DEFENSES DOWN
TO EVERY MAN I SEE,
THE QUESTION'S NOT WHAT I THINK OF YOU,
BUT WHAT DO I THINK OF ME.

JOHN

IF IT TAKES A LIFETIME
JUST TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
YOU'LL FIND YOU'RE SOMEONE'S MOTHER,
SOMEONE'S LOVER, SOMEONE'S WIFE,
AND YOU'LL SAY
"THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LONGED TO BE,
BUT WHAT DO I THINK OF ME?

AND THEN THE DAY WILL COME, YOU'LL RUN
AND WONDER WHERE YOUR YOUTH HAS GONE,
YOU'LL WANT TO LIVE IT ALL AGAIN,
BUT THEN YOU'LL FIND IT CAN'T BE DONE.

ANNAJOHN

DOWN INSIDE ME DOWN INSIDE YOU
THERE'S A RESTLESS CHILD, THERE'S A RESTLESS CHILD,
ASKING, WHY CAN'T I DO ASKING, WHY CAN'T I DO
SOMETHING WILD AND FREE?SOMETHING WILD AND FREE?


HERE IT IS, MY ROMANCE,HERE I AM, YOUR ROMANCE,
HERE I AM, ALONE,THIS IS IT,
AND CHANCES ARE, ID WAKE UPOUR CHANCE TO FLY,
WISHING I WAS ON MY OWN,WE'VE GOT TO TRY,
NOW I KNOW ITS
IM LIKE YOU,NOW OR NEVER
I'D LIKE TO BE FREE,NOW OR NEVER
BUT WHAT DO I DO NOW?
BUT WHAT WOULD I THINK OF ME?A YEAR-LONG FANTASY
COMES REAL
WHAT DO I SAY NOW?
WHAT DO I THINK OF ME?HOW DO I CLOSE THE DEAL?


BOTH

WHAT DO I --
WHAT DO I THINK OF ME?
