I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You

Colonel Peron?

Eva Duarte?

I've heard so much about you.

I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress

I'm amazed, for I'm only a soldier
nothing to shout about one of the thousands
only a girl on the air. defending the country we love.

But when you act, the things you do affect us all.

But when you act, you take us away
from the squalor of the real world.
Are you here on your own?

Yes, oh yes.

So am I. What a fortunate coincidence.
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight.

It seems crazy, but you must believe
there's nothing calculated, nothing planned.
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand,
but please understand, I'd be good for you.
I don't always rush in like this
twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong, I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.
I won't go on if I'm boring you
but do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see,
and would you be good for me, too?
I'm not talking of a hurried night
a frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye
creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye,
which has to imply I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

Please go on, you enthrall me!
I can understand you perfectly,
and I like what I hear, what I see
and knowing me, I would be good for you, too.

I'm not talking of a hurried night
a frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye
creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye,
which has to imply I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.
