Lyrics Act Two Opening - Stephen Sondheim

Act Two Opening

GUSSIE
He’s only a boy
Why do I think he loves me?
Maybe he loves what I can do for him
Maybe he thinks that I’ll come through for him
Maybe the moon is cheese!
And yet maybe
Maybe
Something real is happening here
But baby
You’re a baby
And the man I’m married to needs me near
Okay!
The moon is cheese!
And I love the guy I shouldn’t
And I don’t, the one I should
Ah but love is blind
And I go for the kind
That I finally find is no good
It started out like a song
It started quiet and slow with no surprise
And then one morning I woke to realise
We had a good thing going!
It’s not that nothing went wrong…
