Miss Saigon - This Money Is Yours Lyrics

Miss Saigon
Miss Saigon - Saigon, April 1975
This Money Is Yours
(KIM wakens. CHRIS hands her the money he had left.)

CHRIS
this money's yours
please take it all
hey, you want more?

KIM
no, no, I don't want anything

CHRIS
hey, what's wrong with you?

KIM
I've not done this before

CHRIS
sure!
that can't be true!

KIM
why would I lie?

CHRIS
look, everyone lies
they just want to get out of here
okay! You're not like that
but I don't know who you are

KIM
do you want one more tale of a Vietnam girl?
want to know I was bound to a man I don't love?
do you want to be told how my village was burned?
want to hear how my family was blasted away?
how I ran from the rice field and saw them in flames?
how my parents were bodies whose faces were gone?

I have had my fill of pain
I will not look back again
I would rather die

(she starts to cry)

CHRIS
can I see you tonight?

KIM
well, I'll be at the club
selling "beaucoup amour"

CHRIS
no!
no, you won't

how would you like..

KIM
how would I like...?

CHRIS
how would you like
living with me?
you feel good right here
so that's where you should be

so would you like?

KIM
yes, I would like!

CHRIS
okay, it's set
you're staying near
screw the Engineer
you're the only thing
that I've cared for here
