    So much sadness in this song. Dogfight is so beautiful (both the film and musical. They are equally good, if you ask me.), and Lindsay puts so much emotion into this… She is just as good as Lili Taylor, and I never knew I could say that about anyone. Ever. As soon as she says "no one likes maroon," my heart breaks. That look on her face that slowly gets sadder and sadder… Such brilliant acting.

    heartbreaking. So many of us (women) have suffered abuse by men who well....didn't know any better at the time. You capture the humiliation, the indignity, the anger, the sadness and the beauty in the end. Congrats.

    Lyrics
    Close the window draw the curtain
    Hide of the bright light of the moon
    Hang the dresses ugly dresses
    No one like maroon
    Wipe off all that stupid lipstick
    Return the earrings to their case
    Make-up wont make any difference
    It's still the same old face
    Isn't it funny?
    Isn't it funny?
    Isn't it funny you believed that it was real
    *laughs*
    Pretty funny
    All disasters have an upside
    You can find one if you tried
    You went dancing, you were dancing, you were dancing with a guy
    Isn't it funny?
    Isn't it funny?
    Aren't you funny?
    Pathetically na've and desperate to believe
    You can always find some good
    Well you misunderstood
    Or you've been dreaming
    'Cause people are just cruel
    Shut the light off turn the bed down
    No more crying don't you dare
    You'll wake up sometime tomorrow and forget to even care
    Isn't it funny?
    Isn't it funny?
    For a moment he convinced me I could be pretty, funny

    Isn't it funny?
    Isn't it funny you believed that it was real
    Pretty funny
    All disasters have an upside

    You went dancing, you were dancing, you were dancing with a guy
    Isn't it funny?

    You can always find some good
    Well you misunderstood
