Eva And Magaldi/Eva Beware Of The City 

(Eva:) 

To think that a man as famous as you are 

Could love a poor little nothing like me 

(Eva:) 

I wanna be a part of B.A. 

Buenos Aires, Big Apple 

(Eva's family:) 

She wants to be a part of B.A. 

Buenos Aires, Big Apple 

(Che:) 

Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi 

I'd get out while you can

(Eva:) 

It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started 

I'm moving out with my man 

(Magaldi:) 

Now Eva don't get carried away 

(Eva:) 

Monotony past, suburbia departed 

Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond? 

(Magaldi:) 

Don't hear words that I didn't say 

(Eva's family:) 

What's that? You'd desert the girl you love? 

(Magaldi:) 

The girl I love? 

What are you talking about? 

Photos 

(Eva's family:) 

She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement 

She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract 

You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far 

(Eva:) 

I wanna be a part of B.A. 

Buenos Aires, Big Apple 

Would I have done what I did 

If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known 

We would stay together 

(Eva's brother:) 

Seems to me there's no point in resisting 

She's made up her mind, you've no choice 

Why don't you be the man who discovered her 

You'll never be remembered for your voice 

(Magaldi:) 

The city can be paradise for those who have the cash 

The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash 

The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash 

If you were rich or middle class ... 

(Eva:) 

Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them! 

My father's other family were middle class 

And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral. 

(Eva's brother:) 

Do all your one night stands give you this trouble? 

(Magaldi:) 

Eva beware of the city 

It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad 

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole 

And those who are not become what they should not become 

Changed, in short, they go bad. 

(Eva:) 

Bad is good for me 

I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored 

I've only been predictable, respectable 

Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I? 

I only want variety, of society 

(Magaldi:) 

Five years from now I shall come back 

And finally say, "You have your way, come to town." 

But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes 

The magical city, a younger girl's city 

A fantasy long since put down 

(Eva:) 

All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy? 

I played your city games alright, didn't I? 

I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks 

I tasted it last night, didn't I? 

I'm gonna be a part of B.A. 

Buenos Aires, Big Apple 

(Eva and family:) 

She's gonna be a part of B.A. 

Buenos Aires, Big Apple 

(Magaldi:) 

Eva beware your ambition 

It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild 

This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman 

Not even a woman, not very much more than a child 

And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
