The Letter

Love me now and let me go.
                                               I’ve got to do my show.
                                             You know where we stand,
                                                   make no demand.
                                                        I love you, 
                                                   but do not try to 
                                              come between what I do.
                                       If you try to keep me from the stage,
                                                  I will go into a rage.
                                                   Showbiz is my life. 
                           I can’t give it up because you want me to be your wife. 
                                                      Everything I did 
                                             is because it’s what I wanted
                                                    since I was a kid. 
                                             This is my chance to be a star. 
                                       I can’t stay with you the way you are.
                                                I want to go to the top 
                                    and nothing you say will make me stop. 
                                Mister Burns said I can be the star of the show 
                                                        if I let you go. 
                                               If you love me let me do this. 
                                              We are going on the road, hon’.
                                                 Wish me luck with a kiss.
