The Goodbye Girl (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Who Would've Thought?
Who would've thought
This subhuman sublet
With an ego the size
Of the national debt
Would live up to his hype
But he isn't my type
Who would've thought
I'd subdue and disarm
Her disdain and contempt
With the force of my charm
She'd resist if she could
I must really be good
Why didn't I see it coming?
Why didn't I have a clue?
I suddenly fell like humming
And I must put a stop to this soon
I can feel that she's changing her tune
Who would believe
I'm enough of a fool
To be taking the plunge
After draining the pool
We could learn to be friends
But that's right where it ends
All that I know
Is that just down the hall
In the very next room
Through this paper-thin wall
There's a creature I hated
I can't wait to wake up and see
Who would have thought that
This nightmare
This wonderful blunder
Could happen to me
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought it
Would take them so long
I was sure of last week
And last weekend was wrong
This is totally cool
That's cause you won the pool
When do you think
They will cut to the chase
Well, his odds have improved
Since he got to first base
And he's coming on strong
So it shouldn't be long
This couldn't be more outstanding
We hang on their every move (We hang on their every move)
It's very much like "Knots Landing"
Will he charm her right into his palm?
If he doesn't she isn't my mom
What happens next
Could be anyone's call
We're depending on you
With your ear to the wall
To turn into a spy, to be one of those sly little elves
Till we're grown, on our own, and are prone to find
Romance
Ourselves
Who would've thought?
Who would've thought?
Who would've thought?
This subhuman sublet
With an ego the size
Of the national debt
Would live up to his hype
But he isn't my type
Who would've thought
I'd subdue and disarm
Her disdain and contempt
With the force of my charm
She'd resist if she could
I must really be good
Why didn't I see it coming?
Why didn't I have a clue?

Who would've thought?
Who would've thought?
