Outside Of That I LOve You Lyrics
What makes you think I'm crazy about you? What makes you think I can't do without you? I've looked you over carefully And if I never see you again, it's soon enough for me I hate the ground you walk upon I hate the phone you talk upon
ESMERALDA
I am Esmeralda Agrn, Seora.
I know I've no right to speak.
My son is not the savage boy you see,
The cape, the sneer, the slicked-back hair
It hides the child I nursed and bathed,
Seora.
Please don't turn your eyes from me
Your son, gone to God, and mine to blame
My fated son,
He too is gone
The state will see to that, I am sure,
Seora
The state will see to that, I am sure.
1ST MOTHER
You Spanish people, you come to this country
Nothing h
Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity
When all of your answers are knives
This city makes a cartoon of a crime
Capes and umbrellas the glorification of
slime
I have to face this horror, Seora.
2ND MOTHER
My religion
Asks me to pray for the murderer's soul
But I think you'd have to be
Jesus on the cross
To open your heart after such a loss
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him?
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
It's Alright (Black Sabbath - 1976) Lyrics
Told you once about your friends and neighbors They were always seeking but they'll never find That it's alright, yes it's alright Where to go, where to be It's always been that way and it will always be But it's alright, yes it's alrig

Friends become strangersWhat makes you think I'm crazy about you? What makes you think I can't do without you? I've looked you over carefully And if I never see you again, it's soon enough for me I hate the ground you walk upon I hate the phone you talk upon

Compassion is hard to express in words
The trembling flowers they bring
Fear in the roots and the stem
What happened to me they know could happen
to them.
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No
ESMERALDA
Only God can say 'Forgive'
His son too received a knife
But we go on, we have to live
With this cross we call our life
1ST MOTHER
Feels like a bomb fell
And wave after wave come the aftershocks
Heart breaker Lyrics
No, not again oh, what a man just who I thought that I wanted to have Oh, don't do that don't use that bat that's all it takes to make me falling flat No, not again a loser I am I love you tonight you a

2ND MOTHER
You can't believe that it's true
There must be some mistake
You drift through this nightmare from which
you can't wake
BOTH MOTHERS
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him,
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot.
