<br>

MR. BROWNLOW <br>

<br>

(spoken) Who is this man? Perhaps we can... <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

(spoken) No! We can't! Whatever else I do, I won't turn on him! <br>

<br>

MR. BROWNLOW <br>

<br>

(spoken) But, a man who might kill you? <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

(spoken) Yeah, but he's mine, and I'm his. I've got to go back. I want to go back. (sung) He doesn't act as tho' he cares.<br>

But deep inside I know he cares.<br>

And that is why I'm tied<br>

Right by his side. <br>

<br>

As long as he needs me...<br>

I know where I must be<br>

But, will he never see<br>

That someone else needs me? <br>

<br>

As long as life is long...<br>

I'll love him...right or wrong...<br>

But, something just as strong<br>

Says someone else needs me... <br>

<br>

A child<br>

With no one to take his part.<br>

I'll take his part, Bill...<br>

..But cross my heart! <br>

<br>

I won't betray your trust<br>

Tho' people say I must.<br>

My heart will stay true..just..<br>

..As long as he needs me.<br>

<br>
