Lyrics Peter's Denial - Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Jesus Christ Superstar" 1996 London Cast

Peter's Denial

I think I’ve seen you somewhere, I remember
You were with that man they took away
I recognize your face
You’ve got the wrong man, lady, I don’t know him
And I wasn’t where he was tonight — never near the place
That’s strange, for I’m sure I saw you with him
You were right by his side, and yet you denied —
I tell you, I was never, ever with him
But I saw you too — it looked just like you
I don’t know him!
Peter — don’t you know what you have said?
You’ve gone and cut him dead
I had to do it, don’t you see?
Or else they’d go for me
That’s what he told us you would do —
I wonder how he knew …
