? No. 15 A Boy Like That / I Have a Love
|
|
?ANITA (bitterly)
|
A boy like that who'd kill your brother,
|
Forget that boy and find another,
|
One of your own kind!
|
Stick to your own kind!
|
|
A boy like that will give you sorrow,
|
You'll meet another boy tomorrow,
|
One of your own kind!
|
Stick to your own kind!
|
|
A boy who kills cannot love,
|
A boy who kills has no heart.
|
And he's the boy who gets your love
|
And gets your heart.
|
Very smart, Maria, very smart!
|
|
A boy like that wants on thing only,
|
And when he's done he'll leave you lonely.
|
He'll murder your love; he murdered mine.
|
Just wait and see,
|
Just wait, Maria,
|
Just wait and see!
|
|
?MARIA
|
Oh, no, Anita, no
|
Anita, no!
|
It isn't true, not for me,
|
It's true for you, not for me.
|
I hear your words
|
And in my head
|
I know they're smart,
|
But my heart, Anita,
|
But my heart
|
?Knows they're wrong
|
?And my heart
|
?Is too strong,
|
?For I belong
|
?To him alone, to him alone.
|
?One thing I know:
|
?I am his,
|
?I don't care what he is,
|
?I don't know why it's so,
|
?I don't want to know.
|
?
|
??ANITA
|
?A boy like that, etc.
|
?Very smart, Maria, very smart!
|
|
?MARIA
|
Oh, no, Anita, no,
|
You should know better!
|
You were in love - or so you said.
|
You should know better...
|
I have a love, and it's all that I have.
|
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
|
I love him; I'm his,
|
And ev'rything he is
|
I am, too.
|
I have a love and it's all that I need,
|
Right or wrong, and he needs me too.
|
I love him, we're one;
|
There's nothing to be done,
|
Not a thing I can do
|
But hold him, hold him forever,
|
Be with him now, tomorrow
|
And al of my life!
|
|
?BOTH
|
When love comes so strong,
|
There is no right or wrong,
|
Your love is your life!

?Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
|
?Somehow,
|
?Some day...

|
?Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
