A penguin girl is sitting alone on the side of a pond, beaten, crying, and praying.
He cries in the corner where nobody seesHe's the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night "dear God won't you please
Could you send someone here who would love me?"
She is bleeding badly, when another penguin comes up to her.
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shone me what love
What love really means
What love really means
He beats her up, as she shrinks awayHer office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after work today
Maybe if she was thinner then he would've stayed
And she says…
She cries and runs to the penguin exhibit in Central Park ZooWho'll love me for me?
Not for what I have done or who I'll become
Who will love me?
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
What love really means
Skipper is shown, pacing around. He turns to Kowalski, who shakes his head sadly.
He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's the man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
"Oh Lord, forgive me I want to go home"
suddenly, the female penguin comes in, crying, bleeding, and praying. Words cannot be heard
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said: "I know you've murdered, and I know you've lied
And I have watched you suffer your whole life
And now that you'll listen I'll tell you that I…"
Kowalski cares for herI will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
Skipper hugs her as she rocks back and forth, he's trying to calm her down.
Love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
