Overture / Take That Look Off Your Face
I can't quite believe it
I'm actually here
The one place on Earth I want to be
New York is just short of perfection they say
The one thing it lacks is me
It's all so amazing
The size and the noise
Why, it's still alive at 5 a.m
And that drive in the eyes of New York girls
Oh, I'd like to be one of them
Take that look off your face
What's the joke, if you please?
Oh, I knew what you'd say
English girls come by plane
Loads each day
And you fear that I'll lose myself
Like so many do
Well, I've got news for you
I'm frightened too
I'm glad to have you, Viv
A friend over here
Who's had a whole year to learn the ropes
This guy that I'm with
This drummer from Queens
He's crazy
But I have hopes
Take that look off your face
Oh, I knew how you'd be
You think I'm the same girl
Who lets men take advantage of me
He's one more
And he's possibly using me, it's true
Still, I'm here in New York
Who's using who?
Take that look off your face
Don't go off in a tizz
I am here to have fun
Finding out what America is
Can't you see I'm no longer the mess I used to be?
You're my best friend and yet
You don't know me!
So get used to me here!
I am gonna work hard
Get my card and a brilliant career
Stay in love
And outshine any New York girl, you'll see
If you think that I won't
You don't know me!
I'm actually here
The one place on Earth I want to be
New York is just short of perfection they say
The one thing it lacks is me
It's all so amazing
The size and the noise
Why, it's still alive at 5 a.m
And that drive in the eyes of New York girls
Oh, I'd like to be one of them
Take that look off your face
What's the joke, if you please?
Oh, I knew what you'd say
English girls come by plane
Loads each day
And you fear that I'll lose myself
Like so many do
Well, I've got news for you
I'm frightened too
I'm glad to have you, Viv
A friend over here
Who's had a whole year to learn the ropes
This guy that I'm with
This drummer from Queens
He's crazy
But I have hopes
Take that look off your face
Oh, I knew how you'd be
You think I'm the same girl
Who lets men take advantage of me

And he's possibly using me, it's true
Still, I'm here in New York
Who's using who?
Take that look off your face
Don't go off in a tizz
I am here to have fun
Finding out what America is
Can't you see I'm no longer the mess I used to be?
You're my best friend and yet

Stay in love
And outshine any New York girl, you'll see
If you think that I won't
You don't know me!
