[HERO, spoken]
My name is Hero
[PHILIA, spoken]
My name is Philia
[HERO, spoken]
Philia
[PHILIA, spoken]
I'm a courtesan, and a courtesan has but one talent
[PHILIA]
I'm lovely
All I am is lovely
Lovely is the one thing I can do
Winsome
What I am is winsome
Radiant as in some dream come true
Oh, isn't it a shame?
I can neither sew nor cook
Nor read or write my name
But I'm happy
Merely being lovely
For it's one thing I can give to you
[HERO, spoken]
Philia
[PHILIA, spoken]
Yes?
[HERO, spoken]
Say my name
[PHILIA, spoken]
Just say your name?
[HERO, spoken]
Yes
[PHILIA, spoken]
Very well. Uh... I forgot it!
[HERO, spoken]
It's Hero
[PHILIA, spoken]
Forgive me, Hero. I have no memory for names
[HERO, spoken]
You don't need one. You don't need anything
[HERO]
You're lovely
Absolutely lovely
Who'd believe the loveliness of you?
Winsome
Sweet and warm and winsome
Radiant as in some dream come true
[PHILIA]
True
[HERO]
Now Venus would seem tame
Helen and her thousand ships
Would have to die of shame
[PHILIA]
And I'm happy
Happy that I'm lovely
For there's one thing loveliness can do
It's a gift for me to share with you!
[HERO]
And I'm happy
Happy that you're lovely
For there's one thing loveliness can do
It's a gift for me to share with you!
