In Some Other Life - Scene 3 Lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa

Hello Again (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

1994

[COLLEGE BOY]
Nurse!
[NURSE]
Water
[COLLEGE BOY]
Yum
Do you have a boyfriend?
[NURSE]
No
[COLLEGE BOY]
Ever?
[NURSE]
Maybe
[COLLEGE BOY]
Do
Do I look like Bobby Kennedy?
[NURSE]
Bobby Kennedy?
Sure
[COLLEGE BOY]
Why are you looking at me like that?
[NURSE]
Like what?
Like I wanna do this?
[COLLEGE BOY]
I meant, uh, what?
[NURSE]
Like I wanna do this?
[COLLEGE BOY]
What if Mother should-
[NURSE]
Your mama don't know what she don't see
Right?
[COLLEGE BOY]
What do you think about the U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia?
[NURSE]
I should've met you in some other life
[COLLEGE BOY]
We're not violating any professional ethics, are we?
[NURSE]
I should've met you in some other time
Would've been sweeter
Kissing you
Would've been better with
Someone softer
Someone younger
Someone easy
Someone like myself, myself, myself, myself, but
Other things happen in some other life
It don't matter what
Or when
Or who
Some little bit of me's gone
I'm gonna steal a little bit of you
[COLLEGE BOY]
Um, you're, you're not a virgin, are you?
[NURSE]
Oh, God, yeah
Be gentle
Baby there's a revolution goin' on
And it's hard to keep my cool
There's something's they didn't teach me back in
Nursing school
Like how am I gonna take
And take and take and take
And not give nothin' back
A solider I knew
And that redhead he'd seen
The guy in the park by the Pepsi machine
The first time and last time
And time in between
Well, why couldn't I love you in some other life?
I wouldn't always feel like I'm at war
Somebody took what was mine
I say that ain't gonna do
I want a little bit
Give me a little bit
I'm gonna steal a little bit of you
You
You
You
You
[COLLEGE BOY]
My ankle feels better
Who's home?
Mother, is that you?
No one
I might not be needing a nurse soon
[NURSE]
Oh
[COLLEGE BOY]
Well, we'll see what Mother says
She pays for your services, not I
Untie me
[NURSE]
My shifts over
[COLLEGE BOY]
Hey, Marie
Marie
Nurse
Nurse!
