HE
Suddenly you are here
I am burning from your touch,
I can’t beat my fear:
You are too real, too soon, too much.
SHE
If for just one second
it was clear
that to your heart
I’m not dear,
I’d be quick
to disappear.
CHOIR
With a vision of love you were blessed,
Your faith is now put to the test,
don’t act as though you’re obsessed –
Give your useless fears a rest!
HE
I know I love you
but I need time to see
why this beast keeps
hunting me.
He is merciless
in having his way,
all his wishes
I must obey.
Please set me free
I need time to see
who I need to be
who is really me.
I don’t know how I feel!
I don’t know what is real!
I don’t know what I will!
You have it guessed –
I’m overstressed!
CHOIR
He cannot make up his mind!
She goes on being blind!
Who do you think is unkind?
SHE
Maybe he is right,
our timing is tight,
or maybe that’s a sign
that he is not mine.
Lately when he pays a call,
he’s becoming very cold,
doesn’t love me – I‘ve been told,
had my love letters sold
for just two ounces of gold.
CHOIR
It’s never too soon to leave
if you don’t want to grieve!
HE
Maybe I was wrong
to write her a song.
My girl loves me strong,
my girl loves me long.
Can I find a way,
without causing pain,
to gently explain
what is oh! so plain.
CHOIR
He cannot remain!
Her hopes are in vain!
SHE
It’s painful and hard to see
he doesn’t belong to me.
To ever believe he would be
the one who would set me free
was too much… even for me.
Why can’t I stop feeling blue?
Can’t believe I had no clue
that this would become of you,
that this would become of me too.
What am I supposed to do?
I will say goodbuy,
hold my head up high,
I certainly won’t pry
into your reasons why
you are leaving me to die…
If I have to I will lie,
but you won’t see me cry.
I’ll buy a ticket
and I’ll fly!
CHOIR
One does a lot of learning
when the wheel of fortune is turning!
Toss the dice! Shuffle the deck!
MEN’S CHOIR
Thank God! She is coming back!
HE
You are beautiful, smart
and you’re rich.
Furthermore,
you are no bitch.
But now that you are here
I am beginning to fear,
that maybe I am not ready
for you in your teddy.
I’m going down with a flu,
I don’t know what to do!
I want you to be near,
I want you to disappear!
I want to turn into a stone,
I want to be left alone!
Since you came here
I feel trapped –
it’d be better
if you left!
CHOIR
One does a lot of learning
when the wheel of fortune is turning!
Toss the dice! Shuffle the deck!
MEN’S CHOIR
Thank God! She is coming back!
SHE
The skies are grey
and I prey
for a day
when you’ll stay.
Here at tea,
it’s plain to see
you want to be free,
you don’t want me.
Whatever you say
will be O.K.
Have it your way,
I will obey.
I may be blue
if I have to do
without you
in my view.
But if I may
I will not stay
in your way
another day.
I’ll live to tell
about this hell,
and when I sell
I’ll sure be well!
CHOIR
She’ll cash it in!
Is that a sin?
Maybe that’s how
she’ll finally win!
