I Resolve lyrics

[ILONA]
I resolve not to be so stupid

[KODALY]
Will you keep Monday night open for me, darling?

[ILONA]
I resolve not to play these games

[KODALY]
All right, sweetheart?

[ILONA]
How often I've been a sitting duck for Cupid
How often I've let him shoot me down in flames

[KODALY]
Sweetheart, say it's all right!

[ILONA]
I resolve not to be so trusting
It's high time, time that I awoke
Whatever I've got up here, it's up here rusting
My feminine intuition is a joke

I must be cousin to a cat
I always wind up with a rat
I'm through with momentary thrills
I find I can't afford the bills
I resolve
Come what may
I will not be this girl one more day

I resolve not to be so brainless
I resolve not to be so dumb
My usual brush with love is far from painless
And suddenly I have got to know how come

I resolve not to blame the others
Just because I'm an easy mark
I wanna know why I never meet their mothers
Where men are concerned, I'm always in the dark

I must stop thinking with my skin
I will not be a mandolin
That someone strums and puts away
Until he gets the urge to play

I resolve
Here and now
I will be a different girl
Somehow
