Love Is Blind lyrics
Love Is Blind
MENDEL
Sit down, my dear
I hear you have a problem
I?m sure you?re not disgusting or indiscreet
Take a load off your feet-
TRINA
Love is a mess
So?s my son, expressly to hurt me
Marvin, my ex-
You?ve seen him for years-
Told me over the phone to tell you my fears
Do you only treat queers?
MENDEL
Breathe deep, my dear
You?ll find me understanding
Your pain is a priori
Unfold you untold story
Now to break bread
Loosen your glands
Put your head in my hands
TRINA
I?m everything he wanted
It?s time I put it all together
The date was set
My father let my marry
I married. I?
Then Marvin came from work
Sat me down on the bed
He told me how he loved me
How needed, that thought valued me
I have?
MENDEL
What?
MARVIN (as Trina mouths this)
Syphilis
TRINA
He said
MENDEL
Good
TRINA
I have
MENDEL
Yes?
MARVIN (Trina mouths)
Syphilis
TRINA
It?s true
MENDEL
Good
TRINA
I had something rotten
Which appears thought now it?s well forgo, an?
MARVIN
Maybe, darling, so do you
TRINA
Maybe, darling, so do you
TRINA (to Marvin)
I am probably diseased
MENDEL
You?re a lovely girl
TRINA (to Marvin)
And so easily appeased
MENDEL
What a lovely girl, though she?s probably diseased
TRINA
He took pains to not excited us
He explains I?ve?
MARVIN
Hepatitis
TRINA
Too
MARVIN, JASON, AND WHIZZER
Hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis
MENDEL
Love is blind
Love can tell a million stories
Love?s unkind
Spiteful in a million ways
TRINA
Then I stayed home from work
Took good care of my men
They faked despair, they wet their bed,
They combed their hair, they acted dead
One said?
MENDEL
Yes?
JASON
Daddy is a prick
MENDEL
What?
TRINA
He said?
MENDEL
Yes?
JASON
Daddy isn?t mine
MENDEL
Good
TRINA
He filled my coats
With candies and notes,
With ?Will you be my valentine??
MARVIN (To Whizzer)
Will you be my valentine?
TRINA
This gets harder to believe
MENDEL
You?re a damaged girl
TRINA
I?ve a scalpel up my sleeve
ALL
What a damaged girl
MENDEL
Do not ever slit your wrists
TRINA
I?ve missed him; he?s still missing
Don?t make noise, but daddy?s kissing
Boys
ALL
Petty, petty, petty, petty
MENDEL AND TRINA
Love is blind
Love can tell a million stories
Love?s unkind
Spiteful in a million ways
ALL
Love is blind
Love can tell a million stories
Love?s unkind
Spiteful in a million ways
MARVIN/ OTHERS
Love is crazy/ Love-
Love is often boring
Love stinks/ Love-
Love is pretty often debris
When you find/ Love-
What you find
Then never, never, never, never, never/ Love-
Do it over again
Love reads like a bad biography/ Love-
All the names are changed to protect the innocent/ Love-
ALL
Love is blind
MENDEL
My name is Mendel
I treat her husband
I think she?s very insecure
But so am I
I?ve never married
Work, work is my passion
Or perhaps that?s an alibi
(speak)
I don?t care to discuss it.
(sing)
I think she?s charming
I think she?s eager
That?s unprofessional and mean
But still it?s true
ALL
His name is Mendel
WHIZZER
Ah-ah
MENDEL
Return next Friday
I admit I admire you
