Stay Here Instead

He's not coming

He is coming

Don't you see? You mustn't go!

Stay here instead

Just tell me what you'd like to do

We'll talk and we'll laugh

And I'll sing to you

And I promise you we won't fight

Don't leave tonight

Momma, I'm late

The boy doesn't care

Not at all

He'll be here at eight

He'll build you up only to watch you fall

Carrie!

You don't know these people

They're not your friends

Carrie!

They're only waiting to tear you in two

What if they like me?

Just like you're father

They'll leave when they're through

They might like me. They'll like me

You're such a fool

Aren't you aware how people deceive?

They'll take you and break you

And then they will leave you

Carrie, Carrie

Carrie

You are the love I was betrayed for

My pride and my shame

My Carrie

Carrie, we're one and the same

Oh, Carrie

Momma, I love you

Carrie…

Momma, I'll always love you

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

I'll say you're sick! I'll say you've changed you mind!

You'll say nothing, Mama! You'll stay here, and not say a word!
