Musical: Goodbye Girl, The
Song: Don't Follow In My Footsteps
Paula
Sometimes even mothers make mistakes
And I've made my share
Though I swear I've tried to be the best I can be
But sometimes I forget that you are always there
Like a video camera
Always watching me
Think about your ever-loving mother as a
Luminous example
Just cause I've an appetite for heartache doesn't mean
You need a sample
I'm counting on you to exercise good solid judgement
Totally different from mine
Don't follow in my footsteps
And you're gonna be fine
Lucy
You want me to watch you ev'ry movement and the expect
Me to ignore you
Paula
You can go and make your own mistakes or you can let
Me make them for you
Whenever you see me go down in flames ask the question
Why put my hand in the fire?
Don't follow in my footsteps
Lucy & Paula
These are words to inspire
Paula
Do as I say not as I do
Just to spare the lion's share of what I've been through
Just remember everything that I did wrong
I did it all wrong for you
Lucy
How would you react if I decided to grow up to be a
Dancer?
Paula
I would prob'bly ground you till you're fifty while
I thought about the answer
Lucy
I wanna make my life on the stage just like you did
Paula
Find an original sin
Don't pick up any dance steps
Don't pick up any actors
Don't follow in my footsteps
That's a place to begin
Now and then you've caught me with a cigarette
While wheezing hard and choking
Lucy
Mom, I got the message
That's why I decided to quit smoking
Whenever I'm in a moment
Of doubt, I remember
Mom's an infallible guide
Don't follow in her footsteps
Paula
And you'll fill me with pride
Lucy
Moms have got it rough but if you really want a
Challenge
Be a daughter
Both
It's about as hard as walking on or
Breathing under water
Paula
Where do you find a kid who'll just do what
She's told to?
Lucy
Ripley's believe it or not
Paula
Don't
Both
Follow in my footsteps
Paula
You'll
Both
Miss a lot of potholes
Paula
You'll
Both
Make it though the minefield
It's your very best shot
Paula
So thank you loving momma
Who did it all wrong for you
Both
She's a prefect example
The key to exactly what not to do
