Lyrics Light My Candle[ROGER] What'd you forget?
[MIMI] Got a light?
[ROGER] I know you? -- You're -- You're shivering
[MIMI] It's nothing They turned off my heat And I'm just a little Weak on my feet Would you light my candle? What are you staring at?
[ROGER] Nothing Your hair in the moonlight You look familiar Can you make it?
[MIMI] Just haven't eaten much today At least the room stopped spinning. Anyway. What?
[ROGER] Nothing Your smile reminded me of --
[MIMI] I always remind people of -- who is she?
[ROGER] She died. Her name was April
[MIMI] It's out again Sorry about your friend Would you light my candle?
[ROGER] Well --
[MIMI] Yeah. Ow!
[ROGER] Oh, the wax -- it's --
[MIMI] Dripping! I like it -- between my --
[ROGER] Fingers. I figured... Oh, well. Goodnight. It blew out again?
[MIMI] No -- I think that I dropped my stash
[ROGER] I know I've seen you out and about When I used to go out Your candle's out
[MIMI] I'm illin' -- I had it when I walked in the door It was pure -- Is it on the floor?
[ROGER] The floor?
[MIMI] They say I have the best ass below 14th street Is it true?
[ROGER] What?
[MIMI] You're staring again.
[ROGER] Oh no. I mean you do -- have a nice -- I mean -- You look familiar
[MIMI] Like your dead girlfriend?
[ROGER] Only when you smile. But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --
[MIMI] Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club? That's where I work - I dance
[ROGER] Yes! They used to tie you up --
[MIMI] It's a living
[ROGER] I didn't recognize you Without the handcuffs
[MIMI] We could light the candle Oh won't you light the candle?
[ROGER] Why don't you forget that stuff You look like you're sixteen
[MIMI] I'm nineteen -- but I'm old for my age I'm just born to be bad
[ROGER] I once was born to be bad I used to shiver like that
[MIMI] I have no heat -- I told you
[ROGER] I used to sweat
[MIMI] I got a cold
[ROGER] Uh huh I used to be a junkie
[MIMI] But now and then I like to --
[ROGER] Uh huh
[MIMI] Feel good
[ROGER] Oh here it
[MIMI] What's that?
[ROGER] uh - candy bar wrapper
[MIMI] We could light the candle
[MIMI] What'd you do with my candle?
[ROGER] That was my last match
[MIMI] Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon
[ROGER] Maybe it's not the moon at all I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street
[MIMI] Bah humbug ... Bah humbug
[ROGER] Cold hands
[MIMI] Yours too. Big. Like my father's You wanna dance?
[ROGER] With you?
[MIMI] No -- with my father
[ROGER] I'm Roger
[MIMI] They call me They call me Mimi |
