"I Should Tell You" lyrics
Adam Pascal & Daphne Rubin-Vega Lyrics
"I Should Tell You"
(from "Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[ROGER:]
I should tell you, I'm disaster
I forget how to begin it
[MIMI:]
Let's just make this part go faster
I have yet to be in it
I should tell you
[ROGER:]
I should tell you
[MIMI:]
I should tell you
[ROGER:]
I should tell you
[MIMI:]
I should tell I blew the candle out
Just to get back in
[ROGER:]
I'd forgotten how to smile
Until your candle burned my skin
[MIMI:]
I should tell you
[ROGER:]
I should tell you
[MIMI:]
I should tell you
[BOTH:]
I should tell...
Well, here we go
Now we...
[MIMI:]
Oh no
[ROGER:]
I know this something is...here goes
[MIMI:]
Here goes
[ROGER:]
Guess so, it's starting to, who knows?
[MIMI:]
Who knows?
[BOTH:]
Who knows where?
Who goes there?
Who knows?
Here goes...
Trusting desire, starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging a shoulder a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins
So here we go
Now we...
[ROGER:]
Oh no
[MIMI:]
I know
[ROGER:]
Oh no
[BOTH:]
Who knows where?
Who goes there?
Here goes, here goes
Here goes, here goes
Here goes, here goes

Roger got to know that Mimi also has AIDS. He was afraid to begin relationships with her earlier because he thought he would infect her, e.g. he rejected her approaches previously in "Another Day" and "Light My Candle".
