Stephen Sondheim
Unworthy of Your Love
Those smug little men with their smug little schemes
Let the Captian wed me and woo me
I will play my part
They forgot one thing:
Let him make his mad passion to me
You will have my heart
He can have the body he paid for
Nothing but the body he paid for
When he has the body he paid for
Our revenge will start
Start!
The play isn't over by a long shot yet!
There are heroes in the world
Princes are heroes in the world
And one of them will save us
Wait and see!
Wait and see!
There won't be trumpets or bolts of fire
To say he's coming
No Roman candles, no angels' choir
No sound of distant drumming
He may not be the cavalier
Tall and graceful, fair and strong
Doesn't matter, just as long as he comes along!
When I kiss him, I'll be kissing you
So I'll kiss him morning and night
That'll show him
When I hold him, I'll be holding you
So I'll hold him ten times as tight
That'll show him too
I shall coo and tenderly stroke his hair
Wish that you were there
Were there!
He has lots of hills to climb
And a hero
Doesn't come till the nick of time!
I am unworthy of your love
Darlin, darlin' (Darlin, darlin')
Let me prove worthy of your love
I'll find a way to earn your love, wait and see
Then you will turn your love to
I would come take you from your life
I would come take you from your cell
You would be queen to me, not wife
I would crawl belly deep through hell
Baby, I'd die for you
Baby, I'd die for you
Even though
Even though
I will always know
I am unworthy of your love
Darlin, darlin' (Darlin, darlin')
Let me prove worthy of your love
I'll find a way to earn your love, wait and see
Then you will turn your love to me
I am unworthy of your love (There won't be trumpets!)
So unworthy of your love [?]
[?]
Love!
