Then she said te amo
then she put her hand around me waist

I told her no,
She cried te amo

"No! Please stay here. I, I, you know I like you, why would I want to harm you? Please stay!" Bette protested desperately, tugging on Tina’s wrist and pulling her back.

I told her I’m not gonna run away
but let me go

“Ok fine, I’m not going to leave, but Bette, could you please let go of me?”

My soul is crying,
without asking why

When Bette let go of her wrist, Tina felt a pang at the loss of contact but brushed it off, she had no reason to be feeling such things anyway. She was attached and had a boyfriend for goodness sake’s.

I said te amo,
would somebody tell me what she said?
Don’t it mean I love you

Yeah that’s right, Eric. How could she have forgotten about Eric?

Think it means I love you

Bette seemed harmless, except for the declaration of love, no, not love, just intense like.

Don’t it mean I love you

Oh but she said she could fall in love with me. Why does that make my heart beat fast, especially since I don’t love her? The one I love is Eric!

Listen we can dance,
but you gotta watch your hands

“Look Bette, I’m alright with dancing with you but watch where you place your hands. I mean…”

“I will, I will. I won’t take advantage of you Tina, I promise. I’m not that kind of person.”

watch me all night, I’m movin’ to the night because I understand
that we all need love

Bette and Tina gently swayed to the music that was filtering out of the beach house down to the water where they were.

“So Bette, erm, from your declaration earlier, am I right in assuming that you’re a lesbian?”

“Yes that is true, Tina,” Bette’s voice wavered “Does that bother you?”

and I’m not afraid
to feel the love but I don’t feel that way

“No, it doesn’t actually. I live in West Hollywood after all and I work in the film industry, I have lots of gay and lesbian friends. I support the move for equal rights as well. Love is love right?”
