[MARVIN]
Lest I forget
She will always remind me
Of how we two met...
[WIFE]
I met a man
In the can
Wouldn't you know he was going my way?
We talked till four
He talked more
I was afraid I'd turn and say:
"Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am
I am
Someone imperfectly me."
The lights were low
Don't you know
He gave me a phony home address
[GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Oh...
[WIFE]
Then after weeks
Guess who speaks:
"Darling" he says and I say "yes"
"Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am
I am
A person who likes to lie too much
I try to much
To impress other people...
Often my inferiors."
[GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Ooooo... [WIFE]
Could you like
A girl like that?
Could you like
A girl like that?
Would you hold
Her in your arms?
Could you like
A girl like that?
Could you like
A girl like that?
Could you like
A girl like that? [GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
[MARVIN]
A person who likes
To lie too much
I try too much
To impress
Other people...
Often
My inferiors [WIFE]
We lay in bed
He plays dead
I play a recent 45
He turns it low
Talks so slow
"Darling," he says
"We might survive" [GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Oooo... [WIFE and MARVIN]
Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am
I am
[WIFE]
Someone imperfectly me... [MARVIN]
A person who likes to
Lie too much
I try too much...
[GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Love, love, love
Love, love, love [SWEETHEART]
Someone imperfectly...
Me
[MARVIN]
Me
[WIFE and MARVIN]
Me...
Me
