Stay Here Instead

Margaret:
Stay here instead
Just tell me what you'd like to do
We'll talk and we'll laugh
And I'll sing to you
And I promise we won't fight
Don't leave tonight

Carrie: Momma, I'm late.
Margaret: The boy doesn't care
Not at all

Carrie: He'll be here at eight.

Margaret:
He'll build you up only to watch you fall
Carrie!
You don't know these people
They're not you're friends
Carrie!
They're only waiting to tear you in two

Carrie: What if they like me?
Margaret:
Just like you're father
They'll leave when they're through

Carrie. They might like me. they'll like me.

Margaret:
You're such a fool
You're such a fool
Aren't you aware how people deceive?
They'll take you and break you
And then they will leave you
Carrie, carrie
Carrie,
You are the love I was betrayed for
My pride and my shame
Carrie
Carrie, we're one and the same
Carrie

Carrie: Momma, I love you
Margaret: Carrie…
Carrie: Momma, I need you
Margaret: Don't go.
Tommy: (offstage)
Carrie!
Margaret: Don't go.
