Kimberly Akimbo Original Broadway Cast
This Time
[BUDDY]
Do you remember what you said?
How you hated me and wished I was dead
That you hoped I'd drive off the road
Then I'd hit a tree, and my car would explode
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way
[KIMBERLY]
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the lies
After all the beer
Maybe he can change
Maybe he's sincere
Maybe
This time
[PATTIE]
Do you remember what you said?
How I reminded you of that story you rеad
And at first, I felt kind of thrilled
'Til you explainеd who Medea had killed
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way
[KIMBERLY]
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the hurt
Maybe there's a twist
Maybe she won't be a narcissist
I want to believe them
I want to believe
This time
I will believe
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
I put aside the doubt
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
Maybe things work out
[DEBRA]
