He's a pretender, he knows just what to say
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
It was so strange the way he held my hand
I wanted more than just a one night stand
He had a way of making me believe
That he was mine and that he'd never leave
Chorus:
I know that i should take my friend's advice
'cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice
If there's a chance then i know i've got to try
I'll make him dance with me, i'll make him tell me why
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
Intermediate:
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
And i'll believe in all your silly lies
I'd like to think that i could change your mind
Don't say that i am blind, i know all about your kind
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
I like the way he moved across the floor
And when he danced with me i knew he wanted more
But in the dark things happened much too fast
I should've stopped him then, i knew it wouldn't last
(chorus)
(intermediate)
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
Papa i know you're going to be upset
'cause i was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But i know what i'm saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said i could do without
We're in an awful mess, and i don't mean maybe - please
Chorus:
Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep
But i made up my mind, i'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...
He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying i'm too young, i ought to live it up
What i need right now is some good advice, please
(chorus)
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'cause we are in love, we are in love, so please
(chorus)
Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep
(repeat)
Oh, i'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, i'm keeping my baby
Che: At the watering holes
Of the well to do
I detect a resistance to
English: Precisely
Che: Our heroine's style
English: We're glad you noticed
Che: The shooting sticks
Of the upper class
English: Give her an inch
Che: Aren't supporting a single ass
That would rise for the girl
English: She'll take a mile
Such a shame she wandered
Into our enclosure
How unfortunate this person
Has forced us to be blunt
No we wouldn't mind
Seeing her at Harrod's
But behind the jewelry counter
Not in front
Che: Could there be
In our fighting corps
A lack of enthusiasm for
Troops: Exactly
Che: Peron's latest flame
Troops: You said it brother
Che: Should you wish
To cause great distress
In the tidiest officer's mess
Just mention her name
Troops: That isn't funny
Peron is a fool
Breaking every taboo
Installing the girl in the Army H.Q.
And she's an actress the last straw
Her only good parts are between her thighs
She should stare at the ceiling not reach for the skies
Or she could be his last whore
The evidence suggests
She has other interests
If it's her who's using him
He's exceptionally dim
Bitch
Dangerous jade
English: We have allowed ourselves to slip
We have completely lost our grip
We have declined to an all time low
Tarts have become the set to know
Eva: I am only a radio star with just one weekly show
But speaking as one of the people I want you to know
We are tired of the decline of Argentina with no sign of
A government able to give us the things we deserve
Troops: It's no crime for officers to do as they please
As long as they're discreet and keep clear of di

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something i want don't try to resist me
Chorus:
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, i wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, i've got something to say
Don't try to run i can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
(chorus)
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, i'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don't try to run i can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
(chorus)
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart, i'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
(repeat and fade)
I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains
[I've been so high]
I've been so down
[Up to the skies]
Down to the ground
I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me
Autour de moi
Je ne vois pas
Qui sont des anges
Surement pas moi
Encore une fois
Je suis cassйe
Encore une fois
Je n'y crois pas
All around me
I could not see
Who are the angels
Surely not me
Once more again
I am broken
Once more again
I don't believe it
Chorus:
I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground
There is a light
Above my head
Into your eyes
My face remains
(chorus)
I can't remember
When I was young
Into your eyes
My face remains
Che: Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage
You need if you're gonna succeed
No money no cash no father no bright lights
There was nowhere she'd been at the age of 15
As this Tango singer found out
Augustin Magaldi
Who has the distinction of being the first
Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
Magaldi: On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to Heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forevermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a million nights
Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this
Now I know that it can
I used to wander alone without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappeard and all the sorrow I feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day when you first came my way
Mi amor
On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to Heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forevermore
Hurry up, i just can't wait
I gotta do it now i can't be late
I know i'm not afraid i gotta get out the door
If i don't do it now i won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If i lose i don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if i fall i get up again now
Chorus:
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
Got past my first mistake
I'll only give as much as i can take
You're never gonna see me standin' still
I'm never gonna stop 'till i get my fill
It doesn't matter who you are
It's what you do that takes you far
And if at first you don't succeed
Here's some advice that you should heed
(chorus, substituting "you" for "i")
Intermediate:
I'm not afraid to say i hear a different beat, oh
And i'll go out in the street, yeah
And i will shout it again
From the highest mountain
Hurry up (repeat 3 times)
Hurry up, i just can't wait
I gotta do it now i can't be late
I know i'm not afraid i gotta get out the door
If i don't do it now i won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If i lose i don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if i fall i get up again now
(chorus)
(intermediate)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Shout it, shout it, shout it, ah
Over and over
I turned around too late to see the fallen star
I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down
I took your love for granted
Thought luck was always on my side
I turned around too late and you were gone
Chorus:
So give me one more chance
Darlin' if you care for me
Let me win your love
'Cause you were always there for me
If you care for me,
Be there for me
I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought I'd lose
I rolled the dice but never showed my hand
I planned it out so perfectly,
So you'd never leave a girl like me
I was a fool, but now I understand
(chorus)
Here is the law of the land
You play with fire and you'll get burned
Here is the lesson I've learned
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
(chorus, without last two lines)
Gimme one more chance
Tell me that it's not too late
Let me win your love
Darlin' please don't hesitate
If you care for me,
Be there for me
Che: Oh what a circus
Oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita
Why all this howling hysterical sorrow
What kind of goddess has lived among us
How will we ever get by without her
She had her moments she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying Eva Peron
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how
She's done nothing for years
Choir: Salve Regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve Regina
Ad te clamamus
Exules filii Eva
Ad tu suspiramus gementes
Et flentes o clemens o pia
Che: You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead your king is through
And she's not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since 17 October 1945
But the star has gone
The glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much but she said it loud
It's funny, that way, you can get used to the tears and the pain
what a child will believe, you never loved me
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
Seems like yesturday, i laid next to your boots and i prayed
For your anger to end, oh father i have sinned
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
Oh, father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me, why am i running away?
(Repeat)
Maybe someday, when i look back i'll be able to say
"You didn't mean to be cruel, somebody hurt too"
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good
(Repeat) about myself
