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
