Jonathan Larson - Tango: Maureen lyrics

[JOANNE] Mark? [MARK] Hi [JOANNE] I told her not to call you [MARK] That's Maureen But can I help since I'm here? [JOANNE] I've hired an engineer [MARK] Great! Well, nice to have— [JOANNE] Wait! She's three hours late The samples won't delay, but the cable— [MARK] There's another way Say something, anything [JOANNE] Test, one, two three— [MARK] Anything but that [JOANNE] This is weird [MARK] It's weird [JOANNE] Very weird [MARK] f**in' weird [JOANNE] I'm so mad that I don't know what to do Fighting with microphones Freezing down to my bones And to top it all off, I'm with you [MARK] Feel like going insane? Got a fire in your brain? And you're thinking of drinking gasoline? [JOANNE] As a matter of fact— [MARK] Honey, I know this act It's called the "Tango: Maureen" The Tango Maureen It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round As she keeps you dangling [JOANNE] You're wrong! [MARK] Your heart she is mangling [JOANNE] It's different with me! [MARK] And you toss and you turn Cause her cold eyes can burn Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound [JOANNE] I think I know what you mean [BOTH] The Tango Maureen [MARK] Has she ever pouted her lips and called you "Pookie"? [JOANNE] Never! [MARK] Have you ever doubted a kiss or two? [JOANNE] This is...spooky Did you swoon when she walked through the door? [MARK] Every time, so be cautious [JOANNE] Did she moon over other boys? [MARK] More than moon [JOANNE] I'm getting nauseous [MARK] It's hard to do this backwards [JOANNE] You should try it in heels! She cheated [MARK] She cheated [JOANNE] Maureen cheated [MARK] f**in' cheated [JOANNE] I'm defeated, I should give up right now [MARK] Gotta look on the bright side With all of your might [JOANNE] I'd fall for her still, anyhow [BOTH] When you're dancing her dance You don't stand a chance Her grip of romance makes you fall [MARK] So you think, "Might as well [JOANNE] Dance a tango to hell! [BOTH] At least I'll have tangoed at all The Tango Maureen Gotta dance till your diva is through You pretend to believe her Cause in the end, you can't leave her But the end it will come Still you have to play dumb Till you're glum and you bum And turn blue [MARK] Why do we love when she's mean? [JOANNE] And she can be so obscene [MARK] Try the mike [JOANNE] My Maureen, een, een, een.. [MARK] Patched! [JOANNE] Thanks [MARK] You know, I feel great now! [JOANNE] I feel lousy [BOTH] The Tango Maureen!
