Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

this is a song from The Imaginary Musical

The older, married female character Charlotte is singing it to the ingenue (Gertie) while she is asleep. (Gertie is in love with Charlotte's husband)

I'll be your mentor
you can be my protege
I'll teach you everything you know
but not everything that
I know
I know

You want your mother
I want the daughter that
I never had
I know
I know

Go to sleep in my house
wake up in your's
one night he is my spouse
and in the morning he's not sure
I know
I know
I know

I'm the older and wiser
you the innocent ingenue
I'll do what I must
you'll do what you want to do
I know
I know
I know

We can go shopping
maybe even bar hopping
never dropping the ball
I'll bring experience
you bring enthusiasm
we'll be the queens of the mall

I know
I know
I know
I want a daughter
you want a mother
sometimes we can't
tell one from the other
I know
I know
I know
