From the Song...

I Don't Know How to Love Him...

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away,
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Tim Rice.
Show: "Jesus Christ superstar" (concept album 1970, first performed 1971).

** The BS Singers has been practicing this piece for days now, and the last time, I got mysty eyed. True, it sounds weird to be singing this, given the background of the song, but I could just totally relate.

Though of course, I won't get to the last three lines. I'm still unsure.
