BURRS & QUEENIE What is it about her I know it's wrong That parts the waters? I know he's rough What is it about her That hoists the sail? I don't know what to do But we've been through enough
BURRS Something in her hair Instructing where to touch Why do I need her so much?
This woman makes me cry This woman makes me burn This woman's eye can cut me to the core
The hatred that I see Has been reserved for me Yet I want more And more And more
BURRS & QUEENIE And what is it about her Oooh... That pulls me closer? That way he's always there What is it about her That tips the scale? His strange and silent stare.
BURRS This girl is all I have So soft so fair, so fine And she's forever mine.
This woman builds me up This woman tears me down This woman speaks and I can break apart
Now comes another man Pretending he can win her heart Well, let him start.
What is it about her So slight, so secret? Something in the way she catches light
BURRS & QUEENIE Who's wrong? Who's right? I've never known. Should I hold my own Now - Or be alone We fall Tonight? We fight.
What is it about her What is it about him? That jumbles feelings inside? So coarse, so queer What is it about her What is it about him... That mixes passion with pride? That holds me here?
BURRS Could I live without her And let her go? How loud must I scream No!

Context & Lyrics
Queenie tells Mr. Black that she has become used to Burr's brutish behavior.
View Lyrics
I see his pain I hear his cry He pulls me to the edge But I don't ask him why I understand And I obey Maybe I like it this way.
I like the way he laughs His strange and silent stare I like the way he moves The way he's always there The way he calls my name The way he takes control I like the way this man has stirred my soul:
"When I first met Burrs, he was grand. You understand? But I was scared and awfully lonely. Hungry. And hopeful. How could I know?"
Maybe tomorrow it comes crashing down Maybe next week I'll find another clown Maybe I'll try to go a different way But look who's sitting here today.
If I could change If I could grow I'd ask for nothing more And through that door I'd go But if I'm through Why do I stay?
Maybe he wants me Maybe he needs me Maybe he loves me Maybe I like it this way.

By the end of the show, Queenie loses both of the men who pursue her, and contemplates how things came to end so badly.
