Back the Way (Dottie's Point of View)

Back the way it was before
Before the ice was broken
And my star is on the rise
But now I'm scintillating

And my star is on the rise
Sing a song of long ago
Some people thought I was pretty

Back the way it used to be

Back the way it used to be
Everyone thought I was okay
Back the way it used to be
I was always waiting
Back the way it was before
Everyone's my best friend
But nobody ever asked me
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping

Sent up to my room
Everyone thought I was funny
Everyone's my best friend

But now my prayers are answered
Back the way it was before
Back the way it used to be
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
Back the way it used to be
Money was always a tyrant
But now my prayers are answered
But not many passes were made at me
If I wanted tiny little sandwiches

I spent it all paying my rent
