Lyrics
Alice: 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 you we won't fight Don't leave tonight

Midge: Momma, I'm late

Alice: The boy doesn't care Not at all

Midge: He'll be here at eight

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

Midge: What if they like me?

Alice: Just like your father They'll leave when they're through

Midge: They might like me They'll like me

Alice: 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 My Carrie We're one and the same

Midge: Momma, I love you I'll always love you

Alice: Don't go Don't go Don't go
