MAUREEN
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say,
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty,
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls,
I can't help it baby
So be kind,
And don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
Take me, baby, or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
Uh, this diva needs her stage,
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You'll love the limelight too, now baby
So be mine and don't waste my time
Cryin' "Oh Honeybear,
Are you still my my my baby?"
JOANNE
Don't. You. Dare.
MAUREEN
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
No way
Can I be what I'm not
But hey
Don't you want your girl hot?
Don't fight
Don't lose your head
'Cause every night
Who's in your bed?
Who?
Who's in your bed?
Kiss, Pookie.
JOANNE
It won't work.
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby, what's my sin?
Never quit,
I follow through
I hate mess,
But I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise
'Cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize,
So don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
MAUREEN
A control freak
JOANNE
Who I was meant to be
MAUREEN
A snob, yet over-attentive
JOANNE
And if you give a damn
MAUREEN
A lovable, droll geek
JOANNE
Take me, baby, or leave me
MAUREEN
An anal retentive
BOTH
That's it
JOANNE
The straw that breaks my back
BOTH
I quit
JOANNE
Unless you take it back
BOTH
Women
MAUREEN
What is it about them?
BOTH
Can't live
With them or without them
Take me for what I am
JOANNE
Who I was meant to be
MAUREEN
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
JOANNE
And if you give a damn, you better
Take me, baby
MAUREEN
Oh, take me, baby
JOANNE
Or leave me
MAUREEN
Take me or leave me
BOTH
Take me, baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leaving
I'm gone
