If The Lady Wants To Play

Scene : The Cafeteria. Nicole Holly and Cleo are sitting at a table.

Nicole:
He’s a jerk

Holly:
A total jerk

Cleo:
The man is not a jerk ok?

Nicole:
Look Cleo, you’re a cute girl with a lot going for you. And if Leroy Johnson can’t see that………

Holly:
Then he’s a jerk.

Cleo:
OK, so he’s a jerk. I’m still crazy about him. What am I supposed to do?

Nicole:
Forget about him

Holly:
Go after other guys

Nicole:
Play the field

Cleo:
I don’t want other guys. I want Leroy.

Holly:
Your best bet at getting Leroy is forgetting he even exists.

Cleo:
I’m confused.

Nicole:
Don’t you get it Cleo? Guys play games.

Holly:
They start it.

Nicole:
And we’ve gotta play games too.

Holly:
You can’t ever let them be too sure of you.

Nicole:
What you want to do is get their interest, then keep ‘em on real shaky ground.

Cleo:
Well, how do I get his interest?

Holly:
There’s only one way

Both :
Other guys.

Cleo:
You guys, I don’t know if I like all this game playing stuff.

Nicole: She doesn’t like the game play…..

Nicole:
He cut me deep but I survived.
I’m black and blue, but I’m still alive.
Much stronger now than I was then
This girl will not be fooled again.

Holly:
No more heartaches
Love for love’s sake.

Both:
And if the lady wants to play,
She don’t care what people say
Free to strike without a warning
And if the lady feels alright
She might love someone tonight
Steal the pleasure till the morning.

Holly:
(spoken)Wheels burn, love on my terms
It’s a big mistake to love for love’s sake.

Nicole:
I’ve been a fool for the last time
Between love and pain I draw the line.

Holly:
He said he’d do so much for me
Don’t need the false security

Both:
No more heartaches
Love for love’s sake.

(They run over and grab Cleo)

Holly:
(spoken)Wheels burn, love on my terms

Nicole:
(spoken)It’s a big mistake to love for love’s sake.

All 3 :
You can’t keep us tied, you’ll find
You’re ancient history in my mind
No more ball and chains around me
I do what I want to do
I keep the feeling feeling new
And no-one closes in around me

And if the lady wants to play,
She don’t care what people say
Free to strike without a warning
And if the lady feels alright
She might love someone tonight
Steal the pleasure till the morning.

And if the lady wants to play………(repeat to fade)
