I've been down on my luck, I've been shadowed with trouble and sorrow. But I ain't givin' up' 'Cause I know there is always tomorrow. There are no guarantees, Life is always a hit or a miss. But I truly believe I won't always be feeling' like this. I'm gonna shine like the sun When these clouds roll away from my door. When it's all said and done I won't be at your mercy no more. I will prove my own worth, Heal the damage and hurt that's been done. And when the cryin's all done. Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun. I've been thinking here lately What all I can do to improve. Though I've suffered greatly, I know just what I have to do. I have to move forward, Cut losses, break loose and move on. And I have to swim shoreward Lest I should drown out here alone. I'm gonna shine like the sun When these clouds roll away from my door. I won't crawl I can run I'll be at no ones mercy no more. I'll be swinging on sunbeams So proud that I finally won. And when the losin's all done. Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun. I'm gonna shine, I'm gonna shine. I'm gonna shine like the sun. When these clouds roll away from my door. And when it's all said and done I won't be at your mercy no more. I'll be off chasin' rainbows, Rejoicin' and havin' my fun. And when the cryin's all done, Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun. When the cryin's all done, When the tryin's all done, When the lyin's all done There'll be nothin' but sun. When it's all said and done Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun. Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.
[VIOLET, spoken] They say we always get what we deserve Whether good bad or indifferent [DORALEE, spoken] That's what I've always heard [JUDY] No good deed goes unpunished; But the bad deeds you have done Stretched out, I'm sure that they would reach from here to kingdom come [VIOLET] We think it's time you get what you deserve You've got no true compassion But you've really got some nerve [DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET] And you've hurt every one of us [JUDY] In different kinds of ways [DORALEE] What goes around, comes around; [DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET] And each dog has its day [DORALEE] Under this hair is a brain! But not that you even care And you only see tits, but get this: There's a heart under there A heart that you've broken and ripped out More times than a few Well, ol' Double D Doralee's Gonna stick it to you! Shine like the sun I'm gonna shine like the sun When these clouds roll away from my door When it's all said and done I won't be at your mercy no more I will prove my own worth Heal the damage and hurt That's been done When the crying's all done I'm gonna shine like the sun! [JUDY] I've had enough hurt in my life And you've been adding to it But I'm in control now and Just like before I'll get through it You've hurt and embarrassed me Proven you don't give a damn I'm tired of men like you Who make me feel less than I am [JUDY] I'm gonna shine like the sun When these clouds roll away from my door When it's all said and done I won't be at your mercy no more

I've been down on my luck,
I've been shadowed with trouble and sorrow.
But I ain't givin' up'
'Cause I know there is always tomorrow.
There are no guarantees,
Life is always a hit or a miss.
But I truly believe
I won't always be feeling' like this.
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more.
I will prove my own worth,
Heal the damage and hurt that's been done.
And when the cryin's all done.
Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.
I've been thinking here lately
What all I can do to improve.
Though I've suffered greatly,
I know just what I have to do.
I have to move forward,
Cut losses, break loose and move on.
And I have to swim shoreward
Lest I should drown out here alone.
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
I won't crawl I can run
I'll be at no ones mercy no more.
I'll be swinging on sunbeams
So proud that I finally won.
And when the losin's all done.
Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.
I'm gonna shine, I'm gonna shine.
I'm gonna shine like the sun.
When these clouds roll away from my door.
And when it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more.
I'll be off chasin' rainbows,
Rejoicin' and havin' my fun.
And when the cryin's all done,
Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.
When the cryin's all done,
When the tryin's all done,
When the lyin's all done
There'll be nothin' but sun.
When it's all said and done
Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.

[VIOLET, spoken]
They say we always get what we deserve
Whether good bad or indifferent
[DORALEE, spoken]
That's what I've always heard
[JUDY]
No good deed goes unpunished;
But the bad deeds you have done
Stretched out, I'm sure that they would reach from here to kingdom come
[VIOLET]
We think it's time you get what you deserve
You've got no true compassion
But you've really got some nerve
[DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET]
And you've hurt every one of us
[JUDY]
In different kinds of ways
[DORALEE]
What goes around, comes around;
[DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET]
And each dog has its day
[DORALEE]
Under this hair is a brain!
But not that you even care
And you only see tits, but get this:
There's a heart under there
A heart that you've broken and ripped out
More times than a few
Well, ol' Double D Doralee's
Gonna stick it to you!
Shine like the sun
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
I will prove my own worth
Heal the damage and hurt
That's been done
When the crying's all done
I'm gonna shine like the sun!
[JUDY]
I've had enough hurt in my life
And you've been adding to it
But I'm in control now and
Just like before I'll get through it
You've hurt and embarrassed me
Proven you don't give a damn
I'm tired of men like you
Who make me feel less than I am
[JUDY]
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
When it's all said and done
I won't be at your mercy no more
I'm taking what's mine
I'll be fine
I am second to none
And when the losing's all done
I'm gonna shine like the sun
Shine like the sun... [ENSEMBLE]
I'm gonna shine like the sun
Shine
...shine like the sun
Shine
When it's all said and done
...shine like the sun
We're gonna shine like the sun
I'm taking what's mine
Oooh second to none
And when the losing's all done
I'm gonna shine
Shine like the sun
Like the sun
[VIOLET]
I've been down on my luck;
I've been shadowed with trouble and sorrow
But I'm not giving up 'cause I know there's always tomorrow
There are no guarantees
Life is always a hit or a miss
But I truly believe I won't always be feeling like this [ENSEMBLE, JUDY & DORALEE]
...Oooo sorrow
...Oooo tomorrow
...or a miss
...truly believe...
[VIOLET, JUDY & DORALEE]
I'm gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door
I won't crawl, I can run
I won't be at your mercy no more
We'll be singing it loud, be so proud
That we finally won [ENSEMBLE]
I'm gonna shine like the sun
...Shine
I won't crawl, I can run
...Shine
We'll be singing it loud
...Finally won
[ALL]
And when the losing's all done
We're gonna shine, shine, shine
Shine like the sun
Shine, shine, like the sun!
When the crying's all done
When the lying's all done
When the trying's all done
There'll be nothing but sun!
When it's all said and done
We're gonna shine, shine like the sun
Shine like the sun!
