Poor Child, Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, Brian D’Arcy James, Julia Murney - Poor Child lyrics

Poor child, Poor child beautiful and bruised
Poor child, Pure child virginal and used
Her hair, Her smile, Her eyes so tender
Her heart, Her soul, Her life so broken
How much more must she endure?
Poor child, Poor child sensitive and hard
One more girl forever scarred

Pause for a moment
Then throw him a glance Look askance at Burrs
And smile show him how it is
Maybe then he'll get his




Just pause for a moment, then offer a stare
Let him watch you walk on air
Share a very quiet rendezvous
Poor child, poor child, prisoner of shame








Poor child


Poor child

Searching for a name







He's a dime-store fraud
She's a second hand Broad!
And when the trap is set, I'll be
There my Burrs, he thinks he's her's
But he's in for some news light
The fuse and place the bet

Gently pull him to you
His face, his arms, his chest try
To be weary and wise
His hands, his hips, his legs try
To get lost in his eyes, those heavenly eyes



Pause for a moment then say your hello
Watch as Burrs begins to blow!
Burrs getting angry, Burrs getting rougher!
Tonight, I'll make him suffer
Show him how it is, maybe then he'll get his


Well


I wasn't born yesterday hell


I wasn't born yesterday! In an hour or two

Things will start to unglue


Burrs will be waiting!
And happily I'll go and bring him to me
And bring him to me!
Well we'll see, won't we?
She better watch her step with Burrs
Or she'll get her's

Her hair, her smile, her eyes, so tender


Her heart, her soul, her life, so broken

How much more must she endure?




Poor child


Poor child generous and tight










One more girl lost in the night


What does she thing she's doing, doing?
What does she think I am?
Who does he think he's wooing, wooing?
Someone who gives a damn! She's a sham!
She may be pretty and bat her eyes
But soon he'll get wise








Flirt!

She's a flirt! And it's she who'll get hurt
Oh she's a phony!
She's a sham! A stony-eyes lamb
She better watch her
Step with burrs, or
She'll get her's

Poor child! Pure child!
Dangerous, divine
She's a beautiful, virginal, sensitive
Poor child!




I'll settle the score




Black! Predictable bore



I'll take whats

Mine!



And I'll make her

Mine!

Dangerous whore


I'll take whats
Mine!
