Original London Cast - Room 317 lyrics

Good evening, maam Don't turn the bed yet I'm not the maid What do you want then? They must have written the room number wrong I am looking for someone named Christopher Scott Three-seventeen, oh I'm sorry... unless Well, you must be, of course, you're John's wife, are you not? Oh God, I see It had to happen You must be Kim, Chris went to find you Please come inside, no one will hurt you I'm Chris' wife, my name is Ellen In a way, I am glad I am meeting you first Understand, you were only a name till tonight I don't know how I'd feel if our roles were reversed Won't you please sit down? Tell me you are lying We've been married two years, I am sorry, it's true He said he'd come to get me He says he tried to reach you, but what could he do? Please tell me you're not married You don't know, you can't know what I've done to be here You don't know how he needed a new start As for the child, you say it's Chris' Oh yes, Madame, my son is Chris' Of course we'll help Please keep your pity It's not a gift It is our duty I had a dream for my son to belong And not live all his life in the streets like a rat We aren't rich, but we'll shoulder our load Chris and I stand completely together on that Then you must take Tam with you Take a child from his mother, impossible Kim You will take Tam with you Then he'll get what I wanted for him But Kim, your child needs you Chris is married to me, we want kids of our own Tam's chance lies with you now, not with me No! Can't you see? It won't work It can't be If you're saying that because you made him change his mind Chris must go away and leave me and his son behind If you're saying that because my husband has another wife My child has no future, like the dust of life He must come tonight to my place Tell me so to my face
