Take That Look Off Your Face Reprise by Bernadette Peters Lyrics

Well, I'm always glad to see you, Viv

You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been
You couldn't have seen him yesterday
He's doing some deal down in Baltimore now
I hate it when he's away

You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are
There's more than one car with stickers on
And lots of young guys wear corduroy shirts
And I'd know if he hadn't gone

Take that look off your face
I can see through your smile
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news for you
I knew before

If I'm not mistaken, I knew when it came
In fact, I can name the very day
When we started to plan the future and all
Joe started to pull away
No, I didn't dig deep
I did not want to know
Well, you don't interfere
When you're scared of the things you might hear
Bet you think I should end this right now as you would do
Well, my hard-bitten friend
I am not you

Take that look off your face
I can see through your smile
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news for you
I knew before

I can see through your smile
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well, I've got news for you
I knew before

All the signs are showing up now:
Nervous laugh and furtive glance
He has left but can't admit it
Now it starts, the song and-
