Bernstein: West Side Story - XV. A Boy Like That - Kiri Te Kanawa, Tatiana Troyanos, Leonard Bernstein

ANITA

A boy like that

Who d kill your brother

Forget that boy

And find another

One of your own kind

Stick to your own kind

A boy like that

Will give you sorrow

You ll meet another boy tomorrow

One of your own kind

Stick to your own kind

A boy who kills cannot love

A boy who kills has no heart

And he s the boy

Who gets your love

And gets your heart

Very smart, Maria, very smart

A boy like that

Wants one thing only

And when he s done

He ll leave you lonely

He ll murder your love

He murdered mine

Just wait and see

Just wait Maria

Just wait and see

MARIA

Oh no Anita, no Anita no It isn t true, not for me It s true for you, not for me I hear your words

And in my head

I know they re smart

But my heart, Anita

But my heart

Knows they re wrong

You should know better

You were in love

Or so you said

You should know better

I have a love and it s all that I have

Right or wrong, what else can I do?

I love him, I m his

And everything he is

I am too

I have a love, and it s all that I need

Right or wrong, and he needs me too

I love him, we re one

There s nothing to be done

Not a thing I can do But hold him and hold him forever

Be with him now, tomorrow

And all of my life

MARIA & ANITA

When love comes so strong

There is no right or wrong

Your love is your life
