[ILONA]
I resolve not to be so stupid
[KODALY]
Will you keep Monday night open for me, darling?
[ILONA]
I resolve not to play these games
[KODALY]
All right, sweetheart?
[ILONA]
How often I've been a sitting duck for Cupid
How often I've let him shoot me down in flames
[KODALY]
Sweetheart, say it's all right!
[ILONA]
I resolve not to be so trusting
It's high time, time that I awoke
Whatever I've got up here, it's up here rusting
My feminine intuition is a joke
I must be cousin to a cat
I always wind up with a rat
I'm through with momentary thrills
I find I can't afford the bills
I resolve
Come what may
I will not be this girl one more day
I resolve not to be so brainless
I resolve not to be so dumb
My usual brush with love is far from painless
And suddenly I have got to know how come
I resolve not to blame the others
Just because I'm an easy mark
I wanna know why I never meet their mothers
Where men are concerned, I'm always in the dark
I must stop thinking with my skin
I will not be a mandolin
That someone strums and puts away
Until he gets the urge to play
I resolve
Here and now
I will be a different girl
Somehow
