Lyrics
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 bring 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!
Oh no, Anita, no
Anita, no!
It isn't true, not for me
It's true for you and not for me
I hear your words
And in my head
I know they're smart
But my heart, Anita
But my heart (a boy like that)
Knows they're wrong (who'd kill your brother)
And my heart (forget that boy)
Is too strong (and find another)
For I belong (one of your own kind)
(Stick to your own kind!)
To him alone, to him alone
One thing I know
I am his (a boy who kills cannot love)
I don't care what he is (a boy who kills has no heart)
I don't know why it's so (and he's the boy who gets your love and gets your heart)
I don't want to know (very smart Maria, very smart!)
Oh no, Anita, no
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, but 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, hold him forever
Be with him now, tomorrow
And all of my life!
When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life
He will never be safe here
Sí, lo sé
And no one will ever forgive him
Will you?
You can't ever ask me that
Will you forgive me?
Te quiero, mi niña
For he will have to go away, and you will have to go with him
Writer(s): Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein
