Christian Borle - What Would I Do? lyrics

MARVIN What would I do If I had not met you? Who would I blame my life on? Once I was told That all men get what they deserve Who the hell then threw this curve? There are no answers But who would I be If you had not been my friend? You're the only one One out of a thousand others Only one my child would allow When I'm having fun You're the one I wanna talk to Where have you been? Where are you now? What would I do If I had not loved you? How would I know what love is? God only knows, too soon I'll remember your faults Meanwhile, though, it's tears and schmaltz There are no answers But what would I do If you had not been my friend? WHIZZER All your life you've wanted men And when you got it up to have them Who knew it could end your life? MARVIN: I left my kid and left my wife To be with you To be insulted by such handsome men WHIZZER Do you regret--? MARVIN I'd do it again I'd like to believe that I'd do it again And again and again... And What more can I say? WHIZZER What more can I say? MARVIN How am I to face tomorrow? BOTH After being screwed out of today Tell me what's in store MARVIN Yes, I'd beg or steal or borrow If I could hold you for One hour more WHIZZER One hour more MARVIN One hour more WHIZZER One hour more BOTH One hour, one hour more MARVIN What would I do WHIZZER What would I do MARVIN If I had not seen you? WHIZZER If I had not seen you? BOTH Who would I feast my eyes on? Once I was told That good men get better with age MARVIN We're just gonna skip that stage There are no answers But what would I do If you hadn't been my friend? WHIZZER There are no answers But what would I do... MARVIN No simple answers But what would I do If you had not been My friend My friend My friend (Whizzer exits and the rest of the cast enters) MENDEL h*mos**uals Women with children Short insomniacs We're a teeny tiny band Lovers come and lovers go Lovers live and die fortissimo This is where we take a stand Welcome to Falsettoland (Marvin begins sobbing, the family comes together)
