I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance Lyrics by Carrie: The Musical Ensemble

Carrie: The Musical (Premiere Cast Recording)

2012

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
Carrie:
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
Carrie:
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
Carrie:
Mama can't we stop and talk
There's this boy named Tommy Ross
Margaret:
Carrietta
Carrie:
I've been invited to the prom
Margaret (spoken):
Prom?
Carrie:
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
Margaret:
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
Margaret:
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!
Margaret:
Yes! 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 but I recall
How your father came to me that night
Carrie:
That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me
Margaret:
With the smell of smoke and gin
Carrie:
Give me the chance and you'll see
Margaret:
With a lust in his eyes
And he took me and touched me
I tried to fight
Carrie:
Mama please listen you don't hear a word that I've said
Margaret:
Satan gave your father sin
Carrie:
Sometimes I wish you were dead
Margaret:
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!
Carrie:
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
