Lin-Manuel Miranda - I Fell In Love On A Saturday (Nina's Diary) lyrics

[USNAVI] Okay! Maybe everybody's wondering what's going on? Everybody's feeling tense There's suspense in the air I don't care I'mma drop some awesome knowledge Nina hasn't seen him since high school or college Now Nina-o Rosario used to follow Benny around the barrio Right behind him like Luigi after Super Mario She would pursue him But as she got older she swore she outgrew him, screw em But she can feel the desire she didn't forget him entirely This is a poem she wrote for him in her seventh grade diary Everybody ride with me I'll take you back to a time When she was just 13 and sang quietly: [NINA] I fell in love on a Saturday, you were there You were running your hands through your hair Waiting for someone else You were nervous [BENNY] Yo, you're Lincoln's sister right? [NINA] What? [BENNY] Are. You. Lincoln's sister? You're Nina right? [NINA] Uh huh [BENNY] You know where he is? [NINA] Combing his hair [BENNY] Yo Lincoln get over yourself! [NINA] I know that you are much older I am young And I barely come up to your shoulder But I'm growing...if you only knew [BENNY] How old are you Nina? [NINA] Almost 14, how about you? [BENNY] Oh 18 It's funny, you look a lot younger [NINA] Well apparently I act like a baby Cuz you laugh at how naive I sound And I know that I'm childish but baby I'm just helpless when you are around Cuz I'm falling in- [LINCOLN] Benny, you're late! [BENNY] What did you do to your hair? [LINCOLN] Shut up! C'mon let's go to (?)'s [BENNY] Finally! Nice to meet you Nina [LINCOLN] Bye Nina [BENNY] Bye, I luuuve you [LINCOLN] Shut up! [NINA] And I write these useless words in my stupid baby diary When tonight you'll be staying over When I'm praying you'll desire me Earlier today I just looked away As you shot a glance in my direction But the hour is late and this feeling can't wait And I'm getting too old to be scared of rejection I need you, I know you And I'm getting too old to just do as I'm told So believe me You'll need me It was love at first sight When I saw you tonight [LINCOLN] So uh, what happened with you and Jessica? [BENNY] Oh god Lincoln I'm exhausted man. I'll tell you in the morning [LINCOLN] You're exhausted uh, why are you exhausted? What were you guys doing? [BENNY] The morning son. I'll tell you about the facts of life in the morning [LINCOLN] Don't disappear like that next time that was wack! [BENNY] Sorry dude aight I won't do it again Goodnight [NINA] Talk's cheap I walk down the hall and I must keep quiet because you're falling asleep I'm in so deep And I can't sleep today cuz I'm falling all the time You're not helping by ignoring me And I'm whispering all the time In the hopes that something breaks through And you'll come home to me Come home to me Come home to me
