Musicals - Evita - I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You Lyrics
[Eva:] Colonel Peron[Peron:] Eva Duarte[Eva and Peron:]I've heard so much about you[Eva and Peron:]I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress (a soldier)Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves)[Eva:]But when you act, the things you do affect us all[Peron:]But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real worldAre you here on your own?[Eva:]Yes, oh yes[Peron:]So am I, what a fortunate coincidenceMaybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight[Eva:]It seems crazy but you must believeThere's nothing calculated, nothing plannedPlease forgive me if I seem naiveI would never want to force your handBut please understand, I'd be good for youI don't always rush in like thisTwenty seconds after saying helloTelling strangers I'm too good to missIf I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me soBut you really should know, I'd be good for youI'd be surprisingly good for youI won't go on if I'm boring youBut do you understand my point of view?Do you like what you hear, what you seeAnd would you be, good for me too?I'm not talking of a hurried nightA frantic tumble then a shy goodbyeCreeping home before it gets too lightThat's not the reason that I caught your eyeWhich has to imply, I'd be good for youI'd be surprisingly good for you[Peron:]Please go on, you enthrall meI can understand you perfectlyAnd I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing meI would be good for you too[Eva:]I'm not talking of a hurried nightA frantic tumble then a shy goodbyeCreeping home before it gets too lightThat's not the reason that I caught your eyeWhich has to imply, I'd be good for youI'd be surprisingly good for you
