Tomorrow Night

Look at me!
I must be absolutely crazy!
How did I ever let it get this far?
I'm getting deeper into trouble
Am I woman or a man?
Am I a devil or a demon?

Papa was right!
I ask too many questions
He said a soul can get perplexed
I can't believe what happens next!
Papa was right!
It seems this little game I play
Becomes more risky every day!
(Tomorrow night!)

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
Under the canopy
I'll stand with her tomorrow night!
And place a ring upon her hand
With her all dressed in white
Tomorrow night
I don't know how this came about
But I'll be wed without a doubt.
Oh, my God, I've got to get out!

Look at this!
The way one lie begets another
Somebody wake me up and say
It's all a dream!
Look how easily I fool them
They may have eyes but they don't see
They never really look at me
People are blind!
How else would everyone believe me?
It might be interesting to know
Just how much further I can go

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
I can't believe what I'll presume to be
Tomorrow night
I'm not the bride but I'm the groom to be
Tomorrow night
And that's a monumental trick
I'd better think of something quick
Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick!

I could run away
I could leave without a trace
Go anywhere or any place
Where no one knows my face
As a woman or a man?
I don't know just so I can run away, run away
I'd be free
I'd be rid of all of this
But there's someone I would miss
And being near him is what this is all about
So running away is out!

Papa dear, you dreamed of dancing
At my wedding
But something tells me that I'm right
You wouldn't want to dance tonight!
Isn't this a strangely logical solution?
Things may not be as they appear
But the advantages are clear:
He loves her
She loves him
He likes me
I like her
And I've reason to think she likes me
She keeps him
He keeps her
I keep things as they were
It's a perfect arrangement for three!

Who'd have ever predicted the moment would come
When I'd find myself grateful
They've kept women dumb!
She's an innocent maiden
But then so am I!
That's why it's possible I could get by
Look, I've seen the impossible happen before
Maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more
For I feel like a train on a perilous track
No way to stop and no way to go back
A snowball that's gathering speed down a hill
Going faster and faster and faster
Until tomorrow night, tomorrow night
Even if someone would pray for me
Tomorrow night
There's not a prayer
That they could say for me
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Is now tonight!
