Текст песни Better - Original Cast Recording

Miss March, I spoke my mind,
As you spoke yours.
Obviously, it was not appreciated on either side.
Obvioulsy! My stories were a great success in Concord.
Better?
Better than what?
Better than this dazzling plot?
Better?
This story will be my ′King Lear.'
Each phrase is better.
Better than him.
Better! Even my smallest whim
Is better!
How can he miss what′s so clear?
How can I do better than what's already here?
How can what he said to me be true?
If I don't succeed, what will I do?
Turn around, go back to Concord?
Leave New York behind unconquered? No!
How dare he make me doubt
The way I feel?
Dobt that each thrilling page is who i am?
Aren′t these words alive with passion,
Vivid as my attic where it all began?
Jo! Jo, the girls at school were horrible to me! Charlotte Fenton
Said my dress is ragged and my
Nose is flat!
Jo, I hate being a governess. I should
Be meeting eligible young men.
It′s going to be a dismal Christmas:
What with Father away and no money
For presents.
Meg, Amy- Jo has a surprise for us.
Or was I better, better when
I was home?
