Carrie: The Musical Ensemble
Stay Here Instead
[Margaret, spoken]
He's not coming
[Carrie, spoken]
He is coming
[Margaret, spoken]
Don't you see? You mustn't go!
[Margaret, sung]
Stay here instead
Just tell me what you'd like to do
We'll talk and we'll laugh
And I'll sing to you
And I promise we won't fight
Don't leave tonight
[Carrie]
Momma, I'm late
[Margaret]
The boy doesn't care
Not at all
[Carrie]
He'll be here at eight
[Margaret]
He'll build you up only to watch you fall
Carrie!
You don't know these people
They're not your friends
Carrie!
They're only waiting to tear you in two
[Carrie, spoken]
What if they like me?
[Margaret]
Just like you're father
They'll leave when they're through
[Carrie, spoken]
They might like me. They'll like me
[Margaret]
You're such a fool
You're such a fool
Aren't you aware how people deceive?
They'll take you and break you
And then they will leave you
Carrie, Carrie
Carrie
You are the love I was betrayed for
My pride and my shame
My Carrie
Carrie, we're one and the same
Oh, Carrie
[Carrie, sung]
Momma, I love you...
[Margaret]
Carrie…
[Carrie]
Momma, I'll always love you...
[Margaret]
Don't go!
Don't go!
Don't go!
[Margaret, spoken]
I'll say you're sick. I'll say you've changed you mind!
[Carrie, spoken]
You'll say nothing, Mama! You'll stay here, and not say a word
