Light My Candle Lyrics - Rent - Rent

What'd you forget? 

Got a light? 

I know you, you're 

You're shivering 

It's nothing 

They turned off my heat 

And I'm just a little 

Weak on my feet 

Would you light my candle? 

What are you staring at? 

Nothing 

Your hair in the moonlight 

You look familiar 

Can you make it? 

Just haven't eaten much today 

At least the room stopped spinning 

Anyway, what? 

Nothing 

Your smile reminded me of 

I always remind people of 

Who is she? 

She died 

Her name was April 

It's out again 

Sorry about your friend 

Would you light my candle? 

Well 

Yeah? Ow! 

Oh, the wax, it's 

Dripping! I like it, between my 

Fingers, I figured 

Oh, well, goodnight 

It blew out again? 

No, I think that I dropped my stash 

I know I've seen you out and about 

When I used to go out 

Your candle's out 

I'm illin' 

I had it when I walked in the door 

It was pure 

Is it on the floor? 

The floor? 

They say that I have the best ass 

Below 14th Street 

Is it true? 

What? 

You're staring again 

Oh no, I mean you do have a nice 

I mean, you look familiar 

Like your dead girlfriend 

Only when you smile 

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else 

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club? 

That's where I work, I dance 

Yes! 

They used to tie you up 

It's a living 

I didn't recognize you 

Without the handcuffs 

We could light the candle 

Oh won't you light the candle? 

Why don't you forget that stuff? 

You look like you're sixteen 

I'm nineteen, but I'm old for my age 

I'm just born to be bad 

I once was born to be bad 

I used to shiver like that 

I have no heat, I told you 

I used to sweat 

I got a cold 

Uh huh, I used to be a junkie 

But now and then I like to 

Uh huh 

Feel good 

Oh here it 

What's that? 

It's a candy bar wrapper 

We could light the candle 

Oh what'd you do with my candle? 

That was my last match 

Our eyes'll adjust 

Thank God for the moon 

Maybe it's not the moon at all 

I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street 

Bah humbug, bah humbug 

Cold hands 

Yours too 

Big, like my father's 

Do you wanna dance? 

With you? 

No, with my father 

I'm Roger 

They call me 

They call me Mimi
