West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast): Act II: A Boy Like That - I Have a Love

Lyrics

A boy like that who'd kill your brother
 Forget that boy and find another
 One of your own kind
 Stick to your own kind
 A boy like that will bring you sorrow
 You'll meet another boy tomorrow
 One of your own kind
 Stick to your own kind
 A boy who kills cannot love
 A boy who kills has no heart
 And he's the boy who gets your love
 And gets your heart
 Very smart, Maria, very smart
 A boy like that wants one thing only
 And when he's done, he'll leave you lonely
 He'll murder your love; he murdered mine
 Just wait and see
 Just wait, Maria
 Just wait and see
 Oh, no, Anita, no
 Anita, no
 It isn't true, not for me
 It's true for you, not for me
 I hear your words
 And in my head
 I know they're smart
 But my heart, Anita
 But my heart (A boy like that)
 Knows they're wrong (Who'd kill your brother)
 And my heart (Forget that boy)
 Is too strong (And find another)
 For I belong (One of your own kind, stick to your own kind)
 To him alone, to him alone
 One thing I know (A boy who kills)
 I am his (Cannot love)
 I don't care what he is (A boy who kills has no heart)
 I don't know why it's so (And he's the boy who gets your love)
 I don't want to know (And gets your heart)
 Very smart Maria, very smart
 Oh no, Anita, no, you should know better
 You were in love, or so you said
 You should know better
 I have a love, and it's all that I have
 Right or wrong, what else can I do?
 I love him, I'm his
 And everything he is
 I am, too
 I have a love, and it's all that I need
 Right or wrong, and he needs me, too
 I love him, we're one
 There's nothing to be done
 Not a thing I can do
 But hold him, hold him forever
 Be with him now, tomorrow
 And all of my life
 When love comes so strong
 There is no right or wrong
 Your love is your life
