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.
