William Finn What Would I Do?
MARVIN
What would I do
If I had not met you?
Who would I blame my life on?
Once I was told
That all men get what they deserve
Who the hell then threw this curve?
There are no answers
But who would I be
If you had not been my friend?
You're the only one
One out of a thousand others
Only one my child would allow
When I'm having fun
You're the one I wanna talk to
Where have you been?
Where are you now?
Who would I be
If I had not loved you?
How would I know what love is?
God only knows, too soon
I'll remember your faults
Meanwhile, though, it's tears and schmaltz
There are no answers
But what would I do
If you had not been my friend?
WHIZZER
All your life you've wanted men
And when you got it up to have them
Who knew it could end your life?
MARVIN:
I left my kid and left my wife
To be with you
To be insulted by such handsome men
WHIZZER
Do you regret--?
MARVIN
I'd do it again
I'd like to believe that I'd do it again
And again and again...
And
What more can I say?
WHIZZER
What more can I say?
MARVIN
How am I to face tomorrow?
BOTH
After being screwed out of today
Tell me what's in store
MARVIN
Yes, I'd beg or steal or borrow
If I could hold you for
One hour more
WHIZZER
One hour more
MARVIN
One hour more
WHIZZER
One hour more
BOTH
One hour, one hour more
MARVIN
What would I do
WHIZZER
What would I do
MARVIN
If I had not seen you?
WHIZZER
If I had not seen you?
BOTH
Who would I feast my eyes on?
Once I was told
That good men get better with age
MARVIN
We're just gonna skip that stage
There are no answers
But what would I do
If you hadn't been my friend?
WHIZZER
There are no answers
But what would I do...
MARVIN
No simple answers
But what would I do
If you had not been
My friend?
My friend
My friend
