Lyrics

[KIM, spoken] Chris— Sorry [ELLEN, spoken] Don't turn the bed yet Thank you [KIM, spoken] I'm not the maid [ELLEN, spoken] Oh, well how can I help you? [KIM] Three-seventeen? [ELLEN, spoken] Yes [KIM] Christopher Scott's room? [ELLEN, spoken] Oh God, I see I know who you are [ELLEN] You must be Kim Chris went to find you Please, come inside No one will hurt you I'm Chris's wife [ELLEN, spoken] My name is Ellen [ELLEN] In a way I'm glad I'm meeting you first Understand, you were only a name 'til tonight I don't know how I'd feel if our roles were reversed [KIM] Tell me you are lying [ELLEN] We've been married two years I'm sorry, it's true [KIM] He said he'd come to gеt me [ELLEN] He said he triеd to reach you, but what could he do? [KIM] Please tell me you're not married You don't know, you can't know what I've done to be here [ELLEN] You don't know how he needed a new start [KIM] I feel walls in my heart closing in I can't breathe, I can't win [ELLEN] And your child, you say it's Chris's [KIM] Oh yes, Madame, my son is Chris's I had a dream for my son to belong Not to live his life in the street like a rat [ELLEN] We aren't rich, but we'll give what we can Chris and I are totally together on that [KIM] Then you must take Tam with you [ELLEN] Take a child from his mother? Impossible, Kim [KIM] You must take Tam with you Then he'll get what I wanted for him [ELLEN] But Kim, your child needs you Chris is married to me, we want kids of our own [KIM] Tam's chance lies with you now, not with me [ELLEN] No, it won't work He's your child He's not mine [KIM] If you're saying that because you made him change his mind Chris must go away and leave me and his son behind If you're saying that because my husband has another wife My child has no future, like the dust of life Chris must come tonight to my place Tell me so to my face [ELLEN, spoken] Kim— Chris, why aren't you here now? I don't understand I really need you here I put all my faith, my trust into us Please, please
