"Look at me,"
Said Eponine
"Tell me what you see"
"I see a princess,"
Her mother said
"Beautiful as a princess should be"

She was mean to the girl
Left in her parents care
And whom they had enslaved
The girl was rescued
But there was no hope
For little 'Ponine to be saved

"Look at me,"
Said Eponine
"Tell me what you see"
"I see a young miss,"
Her father said
"Who will be very useful to me"

For her father
She did horrible things
She knew in her heart were wrong
She changed with love
But soon found out
For her Marius did not long

"Look at me,"
Said Eponine
"Tell me what you see"
"I see a street lass,"
Her brother said
"Strong as a girl can be"

Strong as she was
She could not stop
That bullet from entering her hand
For if she had let
The soldier shoot his man
It would have killed Marius instead

"Look at me,"
Said Eponine
"Tell me what you see"
"I see a pretty girl,"
Marius said
"Who's dying because of me"
