MAUREEN
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys - girls
I can't can't help it baby
So be kind
Don't lose your mind
Just remember that
I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill
To fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
So be mine or
Don't waste my time
Cryin' - "Honeybear -
Are you still my baby?"
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way can I be what I'm not
But hey -
Don't you want your girl hot!
Don't fight -
Don't lose your head
'Cause every night -
Who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby?
JOANNE
It won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit - I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby
So be wise
This girl satisfies
You've got a prize -
Don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
MAUREEN
A control freak
JOANNE
Who I was meant to be
MAUREEN
A snob - yet over-attentive
JOANNE
And if you give a damn
MAUREEN
A lovable, droll geek
JOANNE
Take me baby or leave me
MAUREEN
And anal retentive!
BOTH
That's it!
JOANNE
The straw that breaks my back
BOTH
I quit
JOANNE
Unless you take it back
BOTH
Women
MAUREEN
What is it about them?
BOTH
Can't live -
With them -
Or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm gone!
