I've been up since 4 a.m.
'Cause she had a runny nose
Changed her diapers, twice

Washed her dirty clothes
She threw down her sippy cup
And then smeared me with some jam

I looked at her and said:
"Don't you know who I am?"


Nina doesn't care
If I was once a star
She just pulls my hair as I strap her in the car

She's never seen me soar or charm them with a song
Once an ingenue, to her I'm only mum
When I'm on stage it's like I walk on air

Nina doesn't care

The Times said I was stunning

I got four stars from the Post
Nina only giggles, whacks me with her toast
As she puts me through the paces

I try not to yell
But it's hard when she prefers
The Mermaid over Belle


Nina doesn't care
If the crowd is so impressed

She just makes a face and spits upon my dress
She's never seen my name up on the marquee
She's the princess now

I'm just playin' old me
She's never seen me in the spotlight's glare


Nina doesn't care
If my hair is just right
Or I took three curtain calls

She just needs me there to hold her tight
Catch her when she falls


Nina doesn't care
If I've had a lousy night
Tired voice worn out, every song a fight

Or if I lost the part or the role I wished I'd won
Or I got a bad review
What more could I have done?

Then holding her is the answer to my prayer
Thank God
Nina doesn't care
