Bernadette Peters - Finale: Let Me Finish / What Have I Done? / Take That Look Off Your Face (Reprise) 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!
