I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You

Peron moves backstage, Eva sees him and leaves her partner to
speak to him.

Eva: Colonel Peron?

Peron: Eva Duarte?

Peron and Eva Together:
I'm amazed for I am only an actress/a soldier
One of the thousands defending a country he loves.
Nothing to shout about only a girl on the air.

Eva: But when you act, the things you do affect us all.

Peron: But when you act....you take us away from
the squalor of the real world. Are you here on your own?

Eva: Yes, oh yes!

Peron: So am I, what a fortunate coincidence. Maybe your
my reward for my efforts here tonight.

Eva: It seems crazy but you must believe
there's nothing calculated, nothing planned.
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand but please understand
I'd be good for you, I'd be surprisingly good for you.

I don't always rush in like this
twenty seconds after saying hello
telling strangers I'm too good to miss
if I'm wrong I hope you'd tell me so
but you really should know, I'd be good for you.
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

I won't go on, if I'm boring you
but do you understand my point of view?
Do you like, what you hear, what you see
and would you be....
good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night
a frantic tumble and a shy goodbye
creeping home before it gets too light.
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
which has to imply, I'd be good for you.
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

Peron: Please go on, you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly.
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too.

Eva: I'm not talking of a hurried night
a frantic tumble and a shy goodbye
creeping home before it gets too light.
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
which has to imply, I'd be good for you.
I'd be surprisingly good for you.
