Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Cast - Maybe This Dream Lyrics






[Paula:]
When I was a little girl
I felt like a princess
So naïve and full of hope
I thought my dreams would come true
But then as I grew
The world was all like... Nope
But this time, maybe, just maybe...

Maybe this dream won't lead to disgrace
Maybe this dream is in reach
Maybe this dream won't poop on my face
Like a seagull at the beach
Maybe this dream won't be like my wedding
The organ played, there goes the bride
I came back
Maybe this dream won't be like some maggots
Feasting on the rotting deer carcass of my pride

Maybe this dream won't be like my vibrator
Breaking when I need it most

[Tim:]
Tweedle deedle dee!

[Paula:]
Maybe this dream won't be like Ebola
Eating the flesh of its host

[Jim:]
Tweedle deedle doo!

[Tim & Jim:]
Tweet tweet...

[Paula:]
Maybe this dream
Won't be like
When I go running
And I have to take a dump
So I have to rush home
Plus I also have my period
So I have menstrual cramps plus dump cramps
And as I run frantically
I pee just a little
Because I've had two babies
So by the time I get home
My undies smell like a sewer rat
Maybe this dream won't be like that!

Maybe this dream will finally make me feel
Like I deserve
A dream

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Cast Maybe This Dream Comments
  1. t.... m....

    I prefer to think Paula is this show’s main character

  2. M.... ....

    I love this songg!! Paula is my favorite character after Heather 🤣

  3. f.... ....

    I remember watching her sing this live and wondering how it was POSSIBLE for one woman to have SO much talent

  4. C.... ....

    "The organ played "there goes the bride!!" ... I came back." WELL

    C.... ....

    Hey, I'm sorry, but can you please explain to me the meaning of this? I'm not a native speaker and I genuinely can't understand what exactly was wrong with the wedding

    C.... ....

    @Arthur Irrwitzer The song that should have been played is called Here Comes the Bride: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridal_Chorus. There Goes The Bride is a totally different song, as far as I understand.

  5. D.... I....

    Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream 😭

  6. A.... t....

    Major sleeping beauty vibes and I love it

  7. B.... S....

    I feel like I’m the only one who can’t stand her singing and the faces she makes when she’s singing lol

    B.... S....

    That’s because you’re definitely the only one

    B.... S....

    Then why are you on the song? Just leave.

  8. R.... K....

    I like the live more. She's awesome

  9. N.... ....

    "…and as I run frantically, I ~pee~ just a little…" I'm deceased. xDDD

  10. P.... ....

    I Love You!!!!!

  11. 1.... 9....

    Tehehe.........NOPE😉

  12. R.... S....

    donna's pipes!!!!!! holy shit

  13. l.... ....

    " I pee *cute giggle* just a little!"
    It's my favorite part of the song lmao

  14. A.... C....

    this song is legit sad. i sang along for fun, but then they came to the last part, "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream" and the depression just hit me like a tidal wave :'(

  15. M.... D....

    Period cramps and dump cramps, relatable

  16. M.... D....

    First time watching this, can’t stop laughing❤️🤣🤣

  17. r.... ....

    I just realized Paula does her little hop on "PEE just a little" because she's jumping over the deer carcass.

  18. N.... ....

    "…I PEE just a little…" I LOST my shit. xD

  19. L.... E....

    Everyone needs to take a look at her hand during the vibrator line...just saying.

    L.... E....

    Luke Evans I just noticed that!! Brilliant!

  20. G.... M....

    I hope Donna gets another role this good when the show ends. I miss her already.

  21. �.... �....

    Best song on the show.

  22. E.... ....

    That makeup is my life!!! ugh! I LOVE THOSE LASHES ON YOU GIRL!!! AND ROSIE CHEEKS and a soft pink lip...Blam! #makeup

  23. R.... H....

    Aurora is quaking

  24. C.... ....

    1:19 ankle acting, people! ANKLE ACTING!!!

  25. K.... H....

    do the birds have some kind of funny/deep meaning that I'm missing? I feel like they always put such clever little jokes in the videos that I miss most of them

    K.... H....

    Katy H The first bird was her husband Tim,who appeared when she mentioned her vibrator. That references the earlier episode where she tells him she's never had an orgasm from him, and that the buzzing in the bathroom he thought was an electric toothbrush was actually her vibrator.

    K.... H....

    @Larry Smith Tim has never been her husband lol...more like an annoying co-worker. Her husbands name is Scott lol

  26. B.... S....

    This has become one of my very favorite songs from the whole show (almost finished with Season 2). The build-up to "....my undies smell like a sewer rat. Maybe this dream won't be - like THAAAAAAT!" - oh, it's just thrilling. I must have repeated this song 6 times when I first saw this episode. (My other favorite song so far - the fake Sondheim "(Tell Me I'm OK) Patrick" from S2E12. Brilliant! :-D )

  27. J.... P....

    "maybe this dream will finally make me feel like a deserve a dream" WHY DONT YOU KILL ME ALREADY??????????

  28. J.... P....

    HOW CAN THIS SONG MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY AT THE SAME FKN' TIME??

  29. M.... ....

    2:13 IM DYING

  30. L.... B....

    THE WORLD WAS ALL LIKE - NOPE
    xD

  31. J.... V....

    The fact that Tim sings "tweedle-deedle-dee" after she mentioned her vibrator is way funnier since last week's episode :D

    J.... V....

    Somehow it seems more appropriate if Scott sang that song instead. But Tim is a treasure.

  32. m.... ....

    1:28 excellent foreshadowing here.

    m.... ....

    Damn you're so right

  33. V.... K....

    That last line is always heartbreaking T.T

  34. S.... S....

    I love her so much. The actress is just so compelling and her voice is like magic.

  35. H.... C....

    This lady is amazing in every way,go Donna 👍🏻💕😀 xx

  36. T.... L....

    PLUS I ALSO HAVE MY PERIOD SO I HAVE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS PLUS DUMP CRAMPS

  37. C.... L....

    Peeing just a little is fine Paula don't worry about it

  38. C.... L....

    Paula is so greaat

  39. i.... ....

    This actress is amazing! she brings reality to her char... There are lots of Paulas.

  40. T.... S....

    This song is actually so sad, but it's sung with a Disney Princess voice, so it makes me feel confused about how I am suppose to feel

  41. k.... t....

    paula should have had more songs in season two :(

  42. W.... v....

    Donna is amazing, rachel is amazing, but daaamn, I really love that set design.

  43. K.... P....

    PROTECT PAULA PROCTOR AT ALL COSTS

  44. l.... ....

    How this song/performance didn't get an Emmy nomination is beyond me...

  45. B.... D....

    All the awards. To her. Give them.

  46. t.... ....

    Me but my dream is that Greg will come back

  47. M.... P....

    BLAHAHAHAHA!

  48. C.... L....

    I may have a crush on the Canadian Yellow Bird

  49. �.... ....

    Give this woman a cookie!... OH WAIT...

  50. G.... Y....

    she is like singing an operatic soprano😀

  51. B.... H....

    "The world was like tehehe, nope" I'm dead 😂

  52. B.... B....

    Plus dump cramps!

  53. p.... ....

    Amazing voice! And a very funny bit! Hahaha

  54. P.... B....

    one of the most hilarious moments on Crazy Ex !

  55. I.... S....

    she is amazing ❤

  56. T.... S....

    I was SO blown away by her voice. She is SO DAMN talented.

  57. J.... P....

    Great vocals yet again. But... Paula got really boring this season. So did Rebecca. Everyone seemed to become all nice, sweet and lovey-dovey with each other. I did enjoy the friendship between Valencia and Rebecca though, that was entertaining.

    J.... P....

    Johann Please And then it all turned to shit, which is what we were all waiting for.

  58. T.... b....

    Donna's vocal range is incredible!

  59. D.... ....

    Wasn't this song in Season 1?

  60. E.... ....

    I have so much respect for how they played Paula's storyline this season, especially when it came to her having an abortion for the sake of her legal career. It's a very real situation that can often make the pregnant mother look bad.

  61. Q.... T....

    I always thought this was a broad parody of a Disney number, so I can't believe I just realised that this is a direct parody of "I Wonder" from Sleeping Beauty. It is all there in the staging, the outfit, the hair, the "animals", the theme of the song and the operetta singing voice.

  62. L.... A....

    The "I pee just a little" part cracks me up very time. XD

  63. n.... ....

    The world was all like, nope. But then, maybe? *The world was like ok just because you had an abortion!*

  64. R.... I....

    😂😂👏👏

  65. A.... G....

    klaiw!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha Loved it!!!!

  66. L.... ....

    Reminds me of Maybe from Next to Normal

  67. D.... K....

    Is it just me or does her voice here make it a bit difficult to understand the words?

    D.... K....

    Dominic Kalder lyric singing is usually harder to understand, which is why a lot of opera singers have a heavy diction.

    D.... K....

    Dominic Kalder It's just you.

  68. T.... A....

    I can so relate to this song and Paula's storyline

  69. L.... H....

    I LOVE how they used Aurora's Briar Rose dress and the basket!! love it! She is amazing!

  70. W.... J....

    This is so perfect! I watch it at least once everyday!!! Love it!!!

  71. H.... ....

    Sleeping Beauty - Wonder?

  72. i.... ....

    Goddamn it, Donna. SO GOOD.

  73. V.... Y....

    menstrual cramp plus dump cramp. best lyric ever

  74. G.... M....

    This song is so accurate to what I feel when I have cramps that for the first time I felt truly understood.

  75. S.... ....

    omg LOL

    Love her and love this show :D

  76. s.... ....

    I never would've thought such a beautiful alto could sound EXACTLY like Snow White, but . . . damn, Paula. Werk.

    s.... ....

    Donna is not an alto

    s.... ....

    silvertamagachi She was never an alto

  77. R.... K....

    Donna is the best best best i love her

  78. A.... J....

    Donna is so pretty

    A.... J....

    I'm a straight woman, but Donna's one of those beautiful people that makes me say things like "I'm a straight woman, but . . ." (Rachel Bloom is, too.)

  79. c.... ....

    I love that the computer's desktop background was also changed to a forest.

  80. k.... t....

    paula is still one of my all time favorite's. her voice and versatility are two of the many reasons why.

  81. P.... H....

    Just fucking genius, the performance of this. It makes me laugh out loud and actually tear up at the end with her earnest hope. It's just lovely. And the extra couple of beats waiting for that final sigh...... BRILL.

    P.... H....

    Paula Howley right??? Isn't it amazing?!

  82. P.... H....

    Maybe this dream won't be like some maggots feasting on the rotting deer carcass of my priiiiiiiiiiide!

  83. c.... ....

    This has turned into my favorite song of the season so far.

  84. r.... ....

    Countdown to changing that sign to "Proctor, Whitefeather & Associates" starts... Now! Go Paula :)

  85. L.... ....

    "Nope" xD

  86. -.... s....

    this is NOT about greg, or rebecca.

    -.... s....

    - sabelmousse - Thank you! Neither character is seen or heard in this song so I'm not sure why there's been so many Grebecca comments here. Let Paula have her moment :P

  87. -.... s....

    i'm such a fan of paula.

  88. G.... C....

    I can't. DECEASED. "Menstrual cramps plus dump cramps." I LOVE this show. 😭😵😍

  89. m.... ....

    Donna Lynne Champlin is so talented and lovely. More of her in everything, please.

  90. B.... B....

    I don't think I've ever seen a show make heart-breaking hopefulness so funny.

  91. R.... ....

    This song is hilarious and the vocals are mind-blowing but holy shit that last line "Maybe this dream will finally make me feel like I deserve a dream..." is heartbreaking as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

    R.... ....

    Ritchie right?? Donna has it all.

  92. L.... s....

    grebeka still has a chance☺☺

  93. b.... ....

    I'm really glad that out of all princess that this song could have referenced, they chose my favorite! (If you're unsure, that dress + basket def scream Aurora)

    b.... ....

    Makes sense, since her main song was Once Upon a Dream.

  94. A.... H....

    Disney needs to take note.

    A.... H....

    I could totally see Rachel Bloom writing a Disney movie starring the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend staff, and it would probably be the best Disney movie in decades tbh

    A.... H....

    Thomas Jefferson But also George Washington? Totally!!

    A.... H....

    Greg is the voice of Prince Hans in Frozen fyi

    A.... H....

    Didn't know! That's awesome!

    A.... H....

    @Zeke Nacion Yes and he was also Prince Topher in the Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella

  95. O.... G....

    This might be my favourite song so far....

  96. G.... C....

    Greg broke my heart in last episode...

  97. J.... B....

    Give this woman all the awards. She's a treasure.

    J.... B....

    i second this

  98. K.... ....

    This is my favorite show on TV. Crazy Ex Girlfriend is so unique, witty, well written, has an amazing cast, and is just all around wonderful!! I absolutely love it! 😁

  99. C.... ....

    Very Operetta/Disney-esque but the melody and lyrics remind me a bit of Maybe/Next to Normal from... well Next to Normal.

    C.... ....

    I was thinking that too, it reminds me a lot of Maybe from Next to Normal

    C.... ....

    omg yaaaas

    C.... ....

    @Daniel James omg yeah!

  100. G.... S....

    Donna's voice is so amazing.
    Also, I'm forever changed after the cramp part.
