Album: Still Suffering Durasi: 3:55

Mark

Valentine's Day... Pan across the empty lot. Roger's down at Mimi's

Where he's been for almost two months - tho' he talks about selling

His guitar and getting out of here. (Still jealous of Benny)... God

Knows where Collins and Angel are... Could be that new Shanty Town by

The river or a suite at the Plaza... Maureen and Joanne are rehearsing.

That is if they're speaking this week... Me? I'm here. Nowhere.

Maureen

Every single day

I walk down the street

I hear people say,

"Baby's so sweet"

Ever since puberty

Everybody stares at me

Boys - girls

I can't can't help it baby

So be kind

Don't lose your mind

Just remember that I'm your baby

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me baby or leave me

Take me baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage

Can never see the sun

This diva needs her stage

Baby - let's have fun!

You are the one I choose

Folks'd kill to fill your shoes

You love the limelight too, baby

So be mine

Or don't waste my time

Cryin' - "Honeybear - are you still my baby?"

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me baby or leave me

No way - can I be what I'm not

But hey - don't you want your girl hot!

Don't fight - don't lose your head

Cause every night - who's in your bed?

Who's in your bed, baby?

Kiss, Pookie.

Joanne

It won't work.

I look before I leap

I love margins and discipline

I make lists in my sleep

Baby what's my sin?

Never quit - I follow through

I hate mess - but I love you

What to do

With my impromptu baby

So be wise

This girl satisfies

You've got a prize

But don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

Take me for what I am

Maureen

A control freak

Joanne

Who I was meant to be

Maureen

A snob - yet over-attentive

Joanne

And if you give a damn

Maureen

A lovable, droll geek

Joanne

Take me baby or leave me

Maureen

And anal retentive

Both

That's it!

Joanne

The straw that breaks my back

Both

I quit

Joanne

Unless you take it back

Both

Women

Maureen

What is it about them?

Both

Can't live -

With them -

Or without them!

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me baby or leave me

Take me baby

Or leave me

Guess I'm leavin'

I'm gone!
