Little Women movie - Better lyrics

<br>

Professor Bhaer<br>

Spoken: Miss March, I spoke my mind,<br>

as you spoke yours. Obviously, it was<br>

not appreciated on either side.<br>

<br>

Jo<br>

Spoken: Obvioulsy! My stories were a great success in Concord.<br>

<br>

Better?<br>

Better than what?<br>

Better than this dazzling plot?<br>

Better?<br>

This story will be my 'King Lear.'<br>

<br>

Each phrase is better.<br>

Better than him.<br>

Better! Even my smallest whim<br>

Is better!<br>

How can he miss what's so clear?<br>

How can I do better than what's<br>

Already here?<br>

<br>

How can what he said to me be true?<br>

If I don't succeed, what will I do?<br>

Turn around, go back to Concord?<br>

Leave New York behind<br>

Unconquered? No!<br>

How dare he make me doubt<br>

The way I feel?<br>

Dobt that each thrilling page<br>

Is who i am?<br>

<br>

Aren't these words alive<br>

With passion,<br>

Vivid as my attic where it all began?<br>

<br>

Amy<br>

Spoken: Jo! Jo, the girls at school were horrible to me! Charlotte Fenton<br>

said my dress is ragged and my<br>

nose is flat!<br>

<br>

Meg<br>

Spoken: Jo, I hate being a governess. I should <br>

be meeting eligible young men.<br>

<br>

Amy<br>

Spoken: It's going to be a dismal Christmas:<br>

what with Father away and no money<br>

for presents.<br>

<br>

Beth<br>

Spoken: Meg, Amy- Jo has a surprise for us.<br>

<br>

Jo<br>

Or was I better, better when<br>

I was home?<br>

<br>

<br>
