Why Does She Love Me lyrics
Why Does She Love Me
Raoul (spoken):
One more.
Barman (spoken):
Ah Buddy, don't you think you've had enough? It's practically morning already.
Raoul (spoken):
One more I said!
Barman (spoken):
Alright, alright.
My shift is over anyway, so let's settle the bill okay?. Jeez you're in a bad way ain't you? The worst of the most end up
here. Here's the morning shift. Maybe he'll know what to do with you.
Raoul (spoken):
Yes what to do with me.
That's the question isn't it? That's always been the question. Ever since the beginning.
Raoul(sung):
She looks for sympathy
I give her sorrow
She asks for honesty
I've none to borrow
She needs my tender kiss
She begs it of me
I give her ugliness
Why does she love me?
She yearns for higher things
Things I can't give her
The rush the music brings
I can't deliver
And even when she sings
And soars above me
I try to clip her wings
Why does she love me?
One more drink sir
That's what I need don't you think sir?
Leave the hurt behind.
(spoken) Didn't you hear me?
Another drink!
(sung) She wants the man I was
Husband and father
At least she thinks she does
She needn't bother.
Beneath this mask I wear
There's nothing of me
Just horror, shame, dispair
Why does she love me?
How about you sir?
Tell me what am I to do sir
Leave the hurt behind.
Meg:
Morning Bernie
Coffee please
Hurry up before I freeze
I'll just take it black
(spoken)
Meg:
Mother said I'd find you here.
Raoul:
Miss Giry.
Meg:
Do you know where you are?
Raoul:
Hell, I imagine.
Meg:
Around here, they call it Suicide Hall. Its where people end up when they don't know where else to go. The hopeless, the
desperate. It's a good place to step off the side of a pier and quietly vanish.
Raoul:
You seem to be a regular?
Meg:
Me? I come here to swim.
(sung) This town is coarse and cold and mean
It's hard to keep your conscience clean.
Faceless in the crowd
Anythings allowed.
And so I come at dawn each day
Come to wash it all away
Sink into the sea
Blue and cool and kind
Let it set me free
Let the past unwind
Leave the hurt behind
(spoken)
Meg:
You should never of come to America.
It's not a place for people like you and Christine. It's too easy to forget who you are and where you belong. That's why
mother says you must leave here. Now. Take your wife and the boy and go.
Raoul:
Leave? But what about tonight? The concert, the money. Am I to just run away? From him?
Meg:
When the sun rises tomorrow we can all start again. Clean.
(sung) Sail across the sea
Put us out of mind
Close your eyes and flee
Let yourself stay blind
Leave this place behind
