| Song lyrics |
(Roger)
What'd you forget?
(Mimi)
Got a light?
(Roger)
I know you? -- You're --
You're shivering
(Mimi)
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?
(Roger)
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
(Mimi)
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?
(Roger)
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of -
(Mimi)
I always remind people of - who is she?
(Roger)
She died. Her name was April
(Mimi)
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
(Roger)
Well -
(Mimi)
Yeah. Ow!
(Roger)
Oh, the wax - it's
(Mimi)
Dripping! I like it - between my --
(Roger)
Fingers. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight.
(Mimi exits; then knocks again)
It blew out again?
(Mimi)
No - I think that I dropped my stash
(Roger)
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
(Mimi)
I'm illin' -
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure -
Is it on the floor?
Roger
The floor?
(Mimi)
They say that I have the best ass below 14th street
Is it true?
(Roger)
What?
(Mimi)
you're staring again.
(Roger)
Oh no.
I mean you do -- have a nice --
I mean -- You look familiar
(Mimi)
Like your dead girlfriend?
(Roger)
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --
(Mimi)
Do you go to the cat scratch club
That's where I work - I dance - help me look
(Roger)
Yes!
They used to tie you up -
(Mimi)
It's a living
(Roger)
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs
(Mimi)
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle
(Roger)
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen
(Mimi)
I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
(Roger)
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that
(Mimi)
I have no heat - I told you
(Roger)
I used to sweat
(Mimi)
I got a cold
(Roger)
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie
(Mimi)
But now and then I like to --
(Roger)
Uh huh
(Mimi)
Feel good
(Roger)
Oh here it---
(Mimi)
What's that?
(Roger)
Candy bar wrapper
(Mimi)
We could light the candle
Oh what'd you do with my candle?
(Roger)
That was my last match
(Mimi)
Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon
(Roger)
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street
(Mimi)
Bah humbug ... Bah humbug
(Roger)
Cold hands
(Mimi)
Yours too.
Big. Like my father's
You wanna dance?
(Roger)
With you?
(Mimi)
No - with my father
(Roger)
I'm Roger
(Mimi)
They call me
They call me Mimi

this song is catchy and a lot of fun-- i think rosario dawson does it much better than daphne rubin-vega  | 27-02-2006 06:05 pixiescanchange |  26 posts
| really? i prefer daphne. she seems to have more of an innocence about her. | 01-03-2006 22:53 FrostyCool |  44 posts
| yeah, i think rosario dawson has sort of a sweeter, more innocent sounding voice and looks like she fits the part better. daphne's voice, to me at least, is kinda screechy sounding, and almost sounds overly theatrical. | 03-06-2006 18:08 actress_115 |  1 posts

| yeah...i like Rosario Dawson better, but i might have prefered Daphne just becaouse the song "Take me out to nite" or something, well, my friend said that her uncle saw it at broadway in NY,(lucky,right?) and Daphne did that song with no mic! isn't that amazing! | 15-07-2006 15:15 rent_is_awesome |  24 posts

Dang! No mic? She's crazy. I much more prefer Rosario's voice over Daphne's, because Daphne does have more of a scratchy, airy voice than Rosario, whose voice is just pure and it may not be the strongest voice in the world, but hey, she didn't do the show on Broadway for years.
I absolutely love this song! It's probably my #1 favorite (because I have more than one, you see. #2 is Take me or Leave me. #3... well, you guys don't care too much so anyway!) of the whole movie. I've seen the play and it's really good live. It all depends on the actors of course. But my how I envy those who get to see it in New York... but it's all good, cause Rent makes the world go round. ^.^ | 16-05-2007 21:09 ParanoidFairy |  108 posts
