Charity Concert / I’d Be Surprisingly Good For You

Lyrics

[MAGALDI] On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays for evermore! [PER�N] Tonight I'm proud to be the people's spokesman You've given help to those who've lost their homes But more than that, conclusively shown That the people should run their affairs on their own Make sure your leaders understand the people! [CROWD, chanting] Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! Per�n! [EVA] Colonel Per�n? [PER�N] Eva Duarte? [EVA & PER�N] I've heard so much about you [EVA] I'm amazed! For I'm only an actress Nothing to shout about Simply a girl on the boards [PER�N] I'm amazed! For I'm only a soldier One of the thousands Defending the country he loves [EVA] But when you act The things you do affect us all [PER�N] Ah, but when you act You take us away from the squalor of the real world Are you here on your own? [EVA] Yes. Oh yes [PER�N] So am I What a fortunate coincidence Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight [EVA] It seems crazy but you must believe There's nothing calculated, nothing planned Please forgive me if I seem na�ve I would never want to force your hand But please understand I'd be good for you I don't always rush in like this Twenty seconds after saying hello Telling strangers I'm too good to miss If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so But you really should know I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you I won't go on if I'm boring you But do you understand my point of view? Do you like what you hear, what you see, and would you be Good for me too? I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you [PER�N] Please go onyou enthrall me I can understand you perfectly And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me I would be good for you too [EVA] I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you [EVA & PER�N] There is no one, no one at all Never has been and never will be a lover Male or female Who hasn't an eye on In fact they rely on Tricks they can try on their partner They're hoping their lover Will help them or keep them Support them, promote them Don't blame them, you're the same [EVA & PER�N leave together.] [PER�N's flat. EVA bursts in to thrown PER�N's sixteen-year-old MISTRESS out.] [EVA] Hello and goodbye! I've just unemployed you You can go back to school You've had a good run I'm sure he enjoyed you Don't act sad or surprised Let's be friends, civilized Come on little one! Don't stand there like a dummy! The day you knew would arrive Is hereyou'll survive So move, funny face! I like your conversationyou've a catchy turn of phrase You're obviously going through some adolescent phase Maybe you've got something more than just a pretty face Maybe not
