Is This What Feeling Gets (dorothy's Theme)

(quincy jones/nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)

Feeling?
Feeling?
Swear to god this is more than i can deal with
Thinkin' back on that old song
Where did i go wrong by caring and sharing
Mean together no matter
I can't stand not knowing
Is this what feeling gets
A hope for happy endings?
Alone and scared
Something i don't want to be
What did he see when he looked inside of me?
If this is just a dream
How come i feel like screaming?
This is the real world
Gotta do what you must, girl

Well
Can i?
Can i?
Is this what feeling gets?
So is there a happy ending?
There's nothing here but the fear of
Will i try?
And can i stare it in the eye
Not ever knowing why?

Please
Please
Can someone tell me why?
