If I had been Christine Daae
If I had been Christine Daae,
The story would've had a different end.
Instead of Raoul the stupid fop,
Erik would've been my boyfriend.
I wouldn't've got involved with Raoul…
Sure, he rescued my scarf, but so?
He stalked me and he provoked me…
Raoul was not even considered as a beau.
If I had been Christine Daae,
I'd've loved Erik with all my heart…
Not even the foolish plans of Raoul
Could ever have kept us apart.
Yeah, maybe Erik ain't the best looking guy…
But does that really matter, at all?
Erik's genius shines with a brilliance
That does more than just inspire; enthrall!
If I had been Christine Daae,
I wouldn't have ripped off his mask.
Perhaps, in time, he'd've shown me…
But I'd at least've the decency to ask.
Erik, my heart goes out to you…
I'll always love you, night and day.
Maybe Christine wasn't that smart after all…
C'mon—she chose Raoul. What does that say?
