Lyrics of Eva and Magaldi / Eva Beware of the City by Madonna,Jimmy Nail,Antonio Banderas,Julian Littman
intro
To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
verse
Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi
I'd get out while you can
It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man
Now, Eva, don't get carried away
verse
Monotony past, suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?
Don't hear words that I didn't say
verse
What's that, you'd desert the girl you love?
The girl I love? Huh
What are you talking about?
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
You must be quite relieved that no one's told the papers, so far
chorus
I wanna be a part of B.A
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
verse
Would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known?
We would stay together
verse
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind, you've no choice
Why don't you be the man who discovered her?
You'll never be remembered for your voice
verse
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class
verse
Screw the middle classes!
I will never accept them
My father's other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight
Hidden from view at his funeral
verse
Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
verse
Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become what they should not become
Change, in short, they go bad
verse
Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here, so why, oh, why, oh, why the hell can't I?
I only want variety of society
chorus
I wanna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
She wants to be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
verse
Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say, "You have your way, come to town"
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
The magical city, a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down
verse
All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
chorus
I'm gonna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
She's gonna be a part of BA
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
outro
Eva beware, your ambition
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice
