paroles de chanson I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance - Marin Mazzie , Molly Ranson

Margaret (spoken):
I don't know what you've been dreaming about tonight Carrie. You've hardly touched your dinner. Now have some pie.

Carrie (Spoken):
It makes me have pimples mama

Margaret (Spoken):
Nonsense. As Peter says, the only beauty that matters is the precious light that comes from within

Mama don't you think it's time
I should try to get along

Margaret(spoken):
Whatever are you going on about Carrie? Being different is the lord's blessing

Mama people think i'm strange
All the kids have called me names

Margaret (spoken):
Well then just don't listen to them. It is written he who hears my voice alone shall be saved

Mama can't we stop and talk
There's this boy named Tommy Ross

Carrietta

I've been invited to the prom

Margaret (spoken):
Prom?

I never dreamed that I could go
When he first asked and I said no
He asked me twice
He asked me twice
And so I finally told him yes
I thought if i could make my dress
I might look nice
I might look nice
I know I'm not like all the others
Sometimes i dream in colors
Sometimes I even think i'm lovely
Nobody feels the things that i do
Mama please I'm just not like you
Maybe I'll find someone to love me

Carrie(spoken):
Tommy's a very nice boy and he'll have me home by midnight. It's Saturday. I've accepted mama. I've accepted.

I remember how those boys could dance
Pressing close on friday nights
They could sweep me away

Carrie(spoken):
Mama

Oh how those boys were demons of romance
In their cars we chased the lights
I know just how boys will behave

Carrie(spoken):
Not this boy mama, he's isn't like the others. He's nice, you'll see, really you will. Everyone isn't bad mama. Everything's not a sin.

Oh how your father whispered in my ear
First the kiss and then the touch
Mixing lies with the truth
He would sigh and try to draw me near
Oh he'd swear he cared so much
That's what the boys do
They'll make promises
They will break your heart
Then they'll laugh at you
Watching you fall apart
Don't you think that i know
Don't you think this has happened before
It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad
Chasing you like a whore

Carrie(spoken):
No!

Don't you know their game
Have you lost your mind
Can't you see satan's passion has made you blind
And this boy's like the rest
And they're all like the serpents who crawl
You can beg all you want to the lord
How your father came to me that night

That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me

With the smell of smoke and gin

Give me the chance and you'll see

With a lust in his eyes
And he took me and touched me
I tried to fight

Mama please listen you don't hear a word that I've said

Satan gave your father sin

Sometimes I wish you were dead

And the sin never died

Carrie(spoken):
Mama please stop!

Margaret(spoken):
You're not going

Carrie(spoken):
I've already said that I would, I've said yes.

Margaret(spoken):
Then say no. tell him you changed your mind.

Carrie(spoken):
Mama come back.

Margaret(spoken):
The rain's coming in. I have to close the windows.

Carrie(spoken):
I'll get them!

Margaret(spoken):
Witch!

I am not afraid of you at all
I have nothing left to lose
I have power I can use
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever stop me again
