original broadway cast of jane eyre - as good as you lyrics

Loading...

rochester:
love!
love is like a virus we’re infected with
you’re so naive
wouldn’t it be wonderful
if life was just as you perceive?
women are inhuman, worthless
hard and savage
on the average
never to be trusted
completely maladjusted
it’s true!
but if i’d not loved a few
i might have been as good as you

she was my flame, my gallic sylph
i was her fool’s delight
she put me in her spell and turned my
rage to trust in just one night
with appet-tes for pleasure
we would search for buried treasure
in the excess of temptation
i thought it my salvation, it’s true
but if i had thought things through
i might have been as good as you

she found me handsome
my opera dancer
and like a fool i believed it was true

i held the world inside my hands, a man full in his prime
when she left me for another
pierced my heart a second time
“nothing lasts forever,” she said
“find the door yourself, dear, and won’t you?
think me still your flower
i’ve treasured every hour, it’s true
but if i had loved you, too
i might have been as good as you.”

i came upon her sometime later
the years had not been very kind
she has this child, adele
said she was mine, as well
“nothing lasts forever, edward
take good care and, oh yes
won’t you take our lovely daughter?
for you see, dear, i don’t want her
but i’m still your flower
i’ll just bloom elsewhere
tell her my soul is in heaven with god.”

miss eyre, i tell you this
because i want you to know
that i, with some luck
without shame, without blame
or the curse of my name
might have been as good as you
