I`d Be Surprisingly Good For You Lyrics

(PERON leaves the stage and finds himself face to face with

 EVA)

 

 EVA

 Colonel Peron?

 

 PERON

 Eva Duarte?

 

 EVA and PERON

 I've heard so much about you!

 I'm amazed for I'm only an actress (a soldier)

 Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)

 Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves).

 

 EVA

 But when you act, the things you do affect us all.

 

 PERON

 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.

 

 PERON

 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 naive

 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

 

 

 PERON

 Please go on--you 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 and PERON arrive at PERON's apartment.

 PERON's 16 year-old MISTRESS is in bed.)
