Nina Doesn't Care
music by Brian Haner
lyric by Brian Haner and Susan Egan
I've been up since 4 AM 'cause she had a runny nose.
Changed her diapers twice -- washed her dirty clothes.
She threw down her sippy-cup and then smeared me with some jam,
I looked at her and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
Nina doesn't care if I was once a star,
She just pulls my hair as I strap her in the car.
She's never seen me soar or charm them with a song;
Once an ingénue, to her I'm only mom.
When I'm on stage it's like I walk on air --
Nina doesn't care.
The Times said I was "stunning;" I got "4 stars" from the Post;
Nina only giggles and whacks me with her toast.
As she puts me through the paces, I try not to yell,
But it's hard when she prefers the Mermaid over Belle
Nina doesn't care if the crowd is so impressed,
She just makes a face and spits up on my dress.
She's never seen my name up on the marquee,
She's the princess now, and I'm just plain ol' me.
She's never seen me in the spotlight's glare ...
Nina doesn't care
If my hair's just right, or I took 3 curtain calls;
She just needs me there to hold her tight,
Catch her when she falls.
Nina doesn't care if I've had a lousy night --
Tired voice worn out, every song a fight.
Or if I lost the part -- a role I wish I'd won,
Or got a bad review -- what more could I have done?
Then holding her's the answer to my prayer,
Thank God -- Nina doesn't care.

I know you probably don't get time to read this Susan but you truly are one of my biggest inspirations. Both Meg and Belle have helped me through so many bad times and your voice was a big part of that. Hearing such a beautiful song from you is lovely and I hope you bring out many more albums for me to listen to. Sincerely your biggest fan in the UK
