Leonard Bernstein
A Boy Like That
[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 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 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'rе smart
But my heart, Anita
But my heart
[MARIA, ANITA]
Knows they'rе 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
