Valentine’s Day...Pan across the empty lot. Roger’s down at Mimi’s where he’s been for almost two months --
though he talks about selling his guitar and getting out of here. (Still jealous of Benny)...
God knows where Collins and Angel are...Could be that new Shanty Town by the river or a suite at the Plaza...
Maureen and Joanne are rehearsing. That is if they’re speaking this week...
Me? I’m here. Nowhere.

MAUREEN:

TAKE ME FOR WHAT I AM -- WHO I WAS MEANT TO BE
AND IF YOU GIVE A DAMN -- TAKE ME BABY OR LEAVE ME

THIS DIVA NEEDS HER STAGE -- BABY -- LET’S HAVE FUN!
YOU ARE THE ONE I CHOOSE
FOLKS’D KILL TO FILL YOUR SHOES
YOU LOVE THE LIMELIGHT TOO, BABY
SO BE MINE OR DON’T WASTE MY TIME
CRYIN’ “HONEYBEAR -- ARE YOU STILL MY BABY?”

TAKE ME FOR WHAT I AM -- WHO I WAS MEANT TO BE
AND IF YOU GIVE A DAMN -- TAKE ME BABY OR LEAVE ME
NO WAY CAN I BE WHAT I’M NOT
BUT HEY -- DON’T YOU WANT YOUR GIRL HOT!
DON’T FIGHT -- DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD
CAUSE EVERY NIGHT WHO’S IN YOUR BED?
WHO’S IN YOUR BED, BABY?

Kiss, Pookie
