[STARBUCK, spoken]
Didn't anyone ever kiss you before?
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Yeah, once... I was about twelve years old. There was this little boy with red hair and freckles — and I just thought he was the beginning of the world. But he never paid me any mind. Then one day he ran over to me like a shot and he kissed me real hard, right on the mouth. And I got so stirred up—! And then, he ran back to the other kids and I heard him say, "See, I told ya, I'd kiss anything on a dare — even her!" And I knew, from that moment on, that I was plain.
[STARBUCK, spoken]
Are you plain, Lizzie?
[LIZZIE, spoken]
No... I'm beautiful.
(sung)
Is it really me?
Is it really true?
Suddenly I'm beautiful
Bein' here with you
Deep inside your eyes
Someone's face I see
Someone who is beautiful
Is it really me?
Moments ago
I was alone —
Hoping that this could be
Now here I am
Safe in your arms
And I'm no longer lonely
