I`d Be Surprisingly Good For You lyrics

Madonna and Jonathan Pryce---I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You 

 lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber 

 

 

 (Eva:) Colonel Peron 

 (Peron:) Eva Duarte 

 

 (Eva and Peron:) 

 I've heard so much about you 

 

 (Eva and Peron:) 

 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
