MAUREEN Every single day I walk down the street I hear people say, "Baby's so sweet" Every since puberty Everybody stares at me Boys-girls I 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 me 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 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 but 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 loveable, droll geek
JOANNE Take me baby or leave me
MAUREEN And anal retentive
BOTH That's it!
JOANNE The straw that breaks my back
MAUREEN 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!
