william finn – love is blind lyrics
[mendel]
sit down, my dear
i hear you have a problem
i’m sure you’re not disgusting or indiscreet
take a load off your feet
[trina]
thank you
[mendel]
happy or sad?
[trina]
well, i —
[mendel]
that’s a question with no answer
let’s not discuss the weather, let’s face the facts
marvin’s wife must relax
[trina]
love isn’t sex
that’s a thing my husband once told me
marvin, my ex-
you’ve seen him for years-
told me over the phone to tell you my fears
do you only treat queers?
[mendel (spoken)]
no
(sung)
breathe deep, my dear
you’ll find me understanding
your pain is a priori
unfold your untold story
now to break bread
loosen your glands
put your head in my hands
[trina]
i’m everything he wanted
it’s time i put it all together
the date was set
my father let me marry
i married. i…
then marvin came from work
sat me down on the bed
he told me how he loved me
how needed and/or valued me
i have
[mendel]
what?
[trina / marvin]
syphilis
[trina]
he said
[mendel]
good
[trina]
i have
[mendel]
yes?
[trina /marvin]
syphilis
[trina]
it’s true
[mendel]
good
[trina]
i had something rotten
which appears though now it’s well forgotten
[marvin]
maybe, darling, so do you
[trina]
maybe, darling, so do you
[trina]
i am probably diseased
[mendel]
you’re a lovely girl
[trina]
and so easily appeased
[mendel]
what a lovely girl, though she’s possibly diseased
[trina]
he took pains to not excite us
he explains i’ve
[trina / marvin]
hepatitis
[trina]
too
[marvin, jason, and whizzer]
hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis
[mendel]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways
[trina]
then i stayed home from work
took good care of my men
they faked despair, they wet their bed
they combed their hair, they acted dead
one said
[mendel]
yes?
[jason]
daddy is a prick
[mendel]
what?
[trina]
he said
[mendel]
yes?
[jason]
daddy isn’t mine
[mendel]
good
[trina]
he filled my coats
with candies and notes
with “will you be my valentine?”
[marvin (to whizzer)]
will you be my valentine?
[trina]
this gets harder to believe
[mendel]
you’re a damaged girl
[trina]
i’ve a scalpel up my sleeve
[four men]
what a damaged girl
[mendel]
do not ever slit your wrists
[trina]
i’ve missed him; he’s still missing
don’t make noise, but daddy’s kissing
boys
[all]
petty, petty, petty, petty
[mendel and trina]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways
[all]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways
[marvin]
love is crazy
love is often boring
love stinks
love is pretty often debris
when you find
what you find. then
never, never, never, never, never
do it over again [others]
love
love
love
love
love reads like a bad biography
all the names are changed
to protect the innocent love
love
[all]
love is blind
[mendel]
my name is mendel
i treat her husband
i think she’s very insecure
but so am i
i’ve never married
work, work is my p-ssion
or perhaps that’s an alibi
[marvin]
yeah, perhaps it is
[mendel]
yeah, i don’t care to discuss it
i think she’s charming
i think she’s needy
in just five sessions on my couch
she’ll be like new
[all]
his name is mendel
[whizzer]
ah-ah
[mendel]
return next friday
i admit i admire you
