Musicals - Evita - Eva And Magaldi / Eva, Beware Of The City Lyrics
[Eva:]To think that a man as famous as you areCould love a poor little nothing like me[Eva:]I wanna be a part of B.A.Buenos Aires, Big Apple[Eva's family:]She wants to be a part of B.A.Buenos Aires, Big Apple[Che:]Just listen to that, they're on to you MagaldiI'd get out while you can[Eva:]It's happened at last, I'm starting to get startedI'm moving out with my man[Magaldi:]Now Eva don't get carried away[Eva:]Monotony past, suburbia departedWho could ever be fond of the back of beyond?[Magaldi:]Don't hear words that I didn't say[Eva's family:]What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?[Magaldi:]The girl I love?What are you talking about?[Eva's family:]She really brightened up your out-of-town engagementShe gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contractYou must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far[Eva:]I wanna be a part of B.A.Buenos Aires, Big AppleWould I have done what I didIf I hadn't thought, if I hadn't knownWe would stay together[Eva's brother:]Seems to me there's no point in resistingShe's made up her mind, you've no choiceWhy don't you be the man who discovered herYou'll never be remembered for your voice[Magaldi:]The city can be paradise for those who have the cashThe class and the connections, what you need to make a splashThe likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trashIf you were rich or middle class ...[Eva:]Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!My father's other family were middle classAnd we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.[Eva's brother:]Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?[Magaldi:]Eva beware of the cityIt's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is madThose who are fools are swallowed up wholeAnd those who are not become what they should not becomeChanged, in short, they go bad.[Eva:]Bad is good for meI'm bored, so clean, and so ignoredI've only been predictable, respectableBirds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?I only want variety, of society[chorus][Magaldi:]Five years from now I shall come backAnd finally say, "You have your way, come to town."But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyesThe magical city, a younger girl's cityA fantasy long since put down[Eva:]All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?I played your city games alright, didn't I?I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looksI tasted it last night, didn't I?I'm gonna be a part of B.A.Buenos Aires, Big Apple[Eva and family:]She's gonna be a part of B.A.Buenos Aires, Big Apple[Magaldi:]Eva beware your ambitionIt's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wildThis in a man is danger enough, but you are a womanNot even a woman, not very much more than a childAnd whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
