Finale: Let Me Finish Reprise / What Have I Done? / Take That Look Off Your Face Reprise by Bernadette Peters Lyrics
Just what time of night do you call this?
What on earth is wrong?
Paul, it's half past two;
You should not be here
Let me finish, I said, let me finish
I have to be up very early tomorrow
All right, I can let you stay for a moment
You must stop right now
Are you raving mad?
Don't say one word more
Let me finish, I said, let me finish
You must not even think such things
What we have in this room is very sweet
But you'd have to be mad to think
I would want you to leave your wife and kids for me
In a way it's almost a joke
Do you know what went on with me today?
I sold my whole collection to Nieman Marcus
Today's my best day since I've been here
Paul, you have to go home right now
Shirley need never find out about this
Oh, I see, you've already told her
No, I don't deny; yes, I said those things, but I did not mean-
Yes, you deserve all the joy that you found here
This isn't your only chance
Oh, Paul, I love you, but not in that way
Please go; it won't seem so bad in the morning
Listen, we both went into this with our eyes open
I never lied to you, I never promised you more
We're all grown-ups; Shirley will take you back in time
I'm fond of you Paul, and I'll always be here for you
Anytime you need
What in hell have I done this time?
If you want something ruined, give it to me
Show me a dream, and I'll show you a nightmare
I'm not a little girl anymore; I keep forgetting that
I set out to use Paul
And now look what I have done-
What kind of a person have I turned into?
'Cause I never used to be like this
A love really hurt me, I hurt someone back
My work's had a great successful bow
And that look of New York I wanted to have
Oh, Emma, I have it now
Take that look off your face
You were better naïve
What you are always shows on your face
That's what people believe
If you can't face the face in your mirror, who are you?
It's so simple and, yet
I never knew!
I'll be Emma again!
If it means being hurt, I'll be hurt
But I’ll like myself then
Every word that I'm saying will happen, wait and see
If you think that it won't
You don't know me!
You don't know me!
What on earth is wrong?
Paul, it's half past two;
You should not be here
Let me finish, I said, let me finish
I have to be up very early tomorrow
All right, I can let you stay for a moment
You must stop right now
Are you raving mad?
Don't say one word more
Let me finish, I said, let me finish
You must not even think such things
What we have in this room is very sweet
But you'd have to be mad to think
I would want you to leave your wife and kids for me
In a way it's almost a joke
Do you know what went on with me today?
I sold my whole collection to Nieman Marcus
Today's my best day since I've been here
Paul, you have to go home right now
