A Boy Like That / I Have a Love
[ANITA]
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 bring 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 one 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
[MARIA, ANITA]
Knows they're wrong
A boy like that who'd kill your brother
And my heart
Is too strong
Forget that boy and find another
For I belong
One of your own kind
Stick to your own kind!
To him alone, to him alone
One thing I know
A boy who kills cannot love
I am his
I don't care what he is
A boy who kills has no heart
I don't know why it's so
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
I don't want to know!
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 everything 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 all of my life!
[MARIA & ANITA]
When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life
