Gonna Pass Me A Law Lyrics

Broadway
Caroline, or Change the Musical - Gonna Pass Me A Law Lyrics

CAROLINE:
Gonna pass me a law
That night last longer.
Gonna pass me a law
Larry come home from Vietnam
Wherever that is gonna pass me a law
No woman can be my age
And not know enough
To read a map.
Gonna pass me a law
That my heathen daughter
Don't never get hurt
Nor learn how to mind me,
Nor learn how to mind
Nobody cept herself.
Gonna pass me a law
Say Nat King Cole
Gotta come over my house
Come over my house
Come over every night
And stroke my soul.

NOAH:
Wish me goodnight?

CAROLINE:
That not my job.

NOAH:
How come?
How come you're so sad
And angry all the time?

CAROLINE:
That ain't your business, it just ain't your business.
You's a nosey child.
How come you like me, I ain't never nice to you.

NOAH:
That isn't true! The cigarette.

CAROLINE:
Right. The cigarette.

NOAH:
My mama liked you.
I do too.
You're implacable,
Indestructible, mama said.
I'm always sad.
I like it that you're always mad.
And I can tell you like me to.
At least I think you do.
