Bernadette Peters
Sooner or Later (Live)
[Spoken]
This next Stephen Sondheim song is from a movie that was out a couple of summers ago starring Warren Beatty. Yes. It was based on a comic strip. He was a detective. His name was Dick - Dick Tracy. And in this movie, this song was sung by a blonde bombshell. Not me. Although we both have religious names.

Sooner or later
You're gonna be mine
Sooner or later
You're gonna be fine
Baby, it's time that you faced it
I always get my man
Sooner or later
You're gonna decide
Sooner or later
There's no place to hide
Baby, it's time, so why waste it
On chatter?
Let's settle
The matter
Baby, you're mine on a platter
I always get my man
But if you insist, babe
The challenge delights me
The more you resist, babe
The more it excites me
And no one I've kissed, babe
Ever fights me
Again
If you're on my list
It's just a matter of when
When I get a yen
Then baby, amen
I'm counting to ten
And then
I'm gonna love you
Like nothing you've known
I'm gonna love you
And you all alone
Sooner is better than later
But, lover
I'll hover
I'll plan
This time I'm not only getting
I'm holding
My man
Sooner is better than later
But, lover
I'll hover
I'll plan
This time I'm not only getting
I'm holding
My man
