Act Two Opening Songtext

von Stephen Sondheim

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 should, 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 realize, we had a good thing going.
It's not that nothing went wrong... *applause*
