Let Me Finish by Bernadette Peters Lyrics

[EMMA]
Just what time of night do you call this?
Well, it's three a.m. It's my first night here
Where the hell were you?
Let me finish, I said, let me finish

Of course! That's the answer! You're a musician
No prob. I've been rather busy all evening;
Mary Ellen called, Margarita called, Jane or Janet called
Let me finish, I said, let me finish

This is not what I came here for
I came all of this way to be with you
If I like being bored, I'd have stayed in art school
A Nеw York girl wouldn't stand for this!

This is not what I came here for
Don't you know what this wholе trip means to me?
I am here cause of you and cause my friend Vivian says
I've the talent to get on here
Do you think that I don't? I do!
Did you really think I was joking?
You have got a nerve, no, I didn't write Janet's number down!
I can't believe that you actually said that
I'd have to be bonkers to put up with this

Where the hell did I put my bags?
I really think there's nothing to keep me here
And if you call me "Emma Baby" one more time I will scream
That's it! Let me finish

I don't even care where I go!
I don't often stand up for myself
But it's time that I started
Oh, by the way, Chuck, I spilled tea on you bongos
Well that's that, can't think of a reason to stay
Goodbye, and I'll pay you back for the air fare

Please don't start to make excuses
You don't want a second chance
All this is is empty rubbish
Spare me, please, the song and dance

All I want is something honest
That's what's gone from this romance
We had fun, but now it's over
There, goodbye, no song and dance
