Cilla Black: I Don't Know How To Love Him (Weber/ Rice, 1970)

"I Don&Know How to Love Him" is a song from the 1970 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar written by Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics), a torch ballad sung by the character of Mary Magdalene who in Jesus Christ Superstar is presented as bearing an unrequited love for the title character. "I Don&Know How to Love Him" is among the highest profile songs to originate in a late twentieth century stage musical. --------------------------------------------- I dont know how to love him. What to do, how to move him. I&been changed, yes really changed. In these past few days, when I&seen myself, I seem like someone else. I don&know how to take this. I don&see why he moves me. He&a man. He&just a man. And I&had so many men before, In very many ways, He&just one more. Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, Let my feelings out? I never thought I&come to this. Whats it all about? Don&you think its rather funny, I should be in this position. I&the one who&always been So calm, so cool, no lovers fool, Running every show. He scares me so. I never thought Id come to this. Whats it all about? Yet, if he said he loved me, I&be lost. Id be frightened. I couldn&cope, just couldn&cope. I&turn my head. I&back away. I wouldn&want to know. He scares me so. I want him so. I love him so.
