Stephen Sondheim
Gussie’s Opening Number
[GUSSIE]
He's only a boy...
Why do I think he loves me?
Maybe he loves what I can do for him
Maybe he thinks that I'll come through for him
Maybe the moon is cheese!

And yet maybe
Maybe
Something real is happening here...
But baby
You're a baby
And the man I'm married to needs me near... (Ah)
Okay, the moon is cheese!

And I love the guy I shouldn't
And I don't the one I should
Ah, but love is blind
And I go for the kind
That I finally find
Is no good

[ENSEMBLE]
Is no good

[GUSSIE, ENSEMBLE]
And as we're going along (And as we're going along)
You take for granted some love
Will wеar away (Wear away)
We took for granted a lot
And still I say: (Still I say)
Wе could've kept on growing (Growing on)
Instead of just kept on (Kept on growing)
(Ba) We had a (Ba da) good thing (Ba da) going (Going)
Going
Ba doo ba doo doo ba doo doo ba
Gone! (Ba doo ba doo doo ba doo doo ba, gone, going, gone)
