I’ve Been Thinking
[BETSY]
I've been thinking
Really thinking
See, okay, I know that this was my idea, but-

[TOMMY, spoken]
You're right, this has to be done correctly. Betsy, if you would honour me-

[BETSY, spoken]
Ooh, you're not hearing me!

[sung]
I've been thinking
This is crazy
Not, like, crazy good
But really crazy
And given who you are
And what I'm going through
The thing is we both know
People make mistakes
People get things wrong
People sometimes have insane reactions
Even so
I'm just not quite sure
This is not your fault
But I just need some time
[TOMMY, spoken]
That is a perfectly normal reaction, sweetheart. But you know what I think?
You're all these years with a guy who can't say yes; yes starts seem to like a foreign word

[BETSY]
No! I've been thinking
This is reckless
Like you said there's no real point in rushing
And this is premature

[TOMMY, spoken]
Every bride feels like this

[BETSY]
No, this is out of hand
Okay, look here we go
People make mistakes
Jack was out of line
But people sometimes need to hit rock bottom
So they grow
And Jack is really great
And listen, so are you
But I just need some time

[TOMMY, spoken]
No more talking, we're getting married
