And another thing I've been wondering lately Oh, baby, Tell me where have you been? Now the stage is set Where's my Juliet, baby? Is it maybe My Midsummer Night's Dream? What's my scene? Like a talent scout I'm always checking out new blood Oh, I'd do good If you tell me your game. Playing Solitaire Doesn't get me where you would And, honey, you could Play by any rules that you care to name. What's my scene? (I gotta know) They say, yeah, they say Making love, you can make it pay. They say, yeah, they say, But we know there's a better way Any day. And another thing I've been wondering lately Am I crazy To believe in ideals? I'm a betting man But it's getting damn lonely. Oh, honey, it only I could be sure what I feel. What's my scene? (I'm dying to know) I'll never know. Well, I concede I've been caught in someone else's scene (but that's not me). Where, oh where, oh where can my scene be? Please answer - me What's my ..?
