Broadway production (2013) A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder the Musical - I've Decided to Marry You Lyrics
Phoebe: Mr. Navarro! Forgive my intrusion! I needed to see you, And see you today! Mr. Navarro! Mr. Navarro! I have arrived at a stunning Conclusion, And i feared i would lose my Resolve If i didn't come here directly To say:
I've decided to marry you! I've decided to marry you! I've decided though henry's Gone That life goes on for me! I have thoroughly thought it Through, And the man that i want is you, Though it's true there are Quite a few Who'd strongly disagree!
Nonetheless i will marry you! I confess that i'm frightened To. But unless i am wrong you Long For love as much as i! This is quite unconventional, I admit, But why should that matter A whit? And if you do not say yes at Once i think i'll die!
Monty: Miss d'ysquith, you've rendered me Speechless! May i call you phoebe?
Sibella: What am i doing here? This could be dangerous. If I'm discovered, Imagine the scandal, And i couldn't handle A scandal so risible. I'll stay invisible, still as can be.
But what's going on in there? I can hear voices. I recognize monty, But is that a woman? And if that's a woman, Then what is she doing here? Is it the cousin? I wish i could see!
If it's that cousin, It might just be business. It's family business, And none of my business. But why is she here In the home of a bach'lor? Of course, one could point out That i'm here, as well!
But does she not realize This situation Puts her reputation Severely in question? The merest suggestion Would cause a sensation! And i cannot hear, Which is hell!
Phoebe: I'll be warned not to marry you!
Sibella: I could go home.
Phoebe: I'll be scorned if i marry you!
Sibella: I should go home.
Phoebe: Still, i've decided-
Phoebe & sibella: To live my life-
Sibella: And be a wife-

Monty: Oh, pay no attention, that's...my new manservant, He's just...finding his way around.
(toward sibella)
I'll be with you in a moment...wadsworth.
Isn't this madness Who could forsee How one trick of timing Could ruin it all? One in the parlor, One in the bedroom, Nothing between them But me and a wall!
Look at phoebe! Noble and pious, My esteem for her only grows. But when i am with phoebe I am on fire thinking of Sibella! Full of desire, Passion, and dare i say it? Love! But when i'm with sibella, Whom do i admire? None but phoebe! Perfect and lovely! Who couldn't love her? Heaven knows! 'Round and 'round and 'round It goes!
