CATCH ME NIHOVI

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

60s Ye-Ye Lounge Duet – 96 BPM

Intro – Lucy Breathless Monologue

LUCY: (Breathing heavily) Hah... hah... oh, goodness...
(Soft giggle)
LUCY: Nihovi...? Are you still coming?
(Playful pause)
LUCY: You really don't know when to quit, do you?
Come and get me, handsome.

NIHOVI: (Low, amused)
Oh, Lucy... I'm right behind you.

LUCY: Then you'd better hurry!

Verse 1 – Lucy

You left your shadow outside my door,
I've been running circles across the floor.
You think you're clever, you think you're fast,
But darling, you know this won't be your last.

NIHOVI:
I found your shoes beside the stairs,
A little perfume still in the air.
You leave me clues, then disappear,
You know exactly why I'm here.

LUCY:
Oh, don't look so innocent tonight,
You love this game as much as I.

Chorus 1 – Both

LUCY: Come a little closer, don't be shy,
Catch me if you can, give it one more try.
NIHOVI: You've been teasing me all night,
Now I'm getting closer, hold on tight.

BOTH:
Run, run, run, around we go,
Where we'll end up, nobody knows!

LILY: PLINK PLINK! I CAUGHT YOU!
LUCY: LILY! OH, PLEASE!

Verse 2 – Nihovi

Dimapur kitchen, two in the night,
You're stealing my sweater, looking so bright.
You said you'd behave, but there you go,
Dancing away when I move in slow.

LUCY:
My goodness, Nihovi, what a surprise,
That dangerous look in your sleepy eyes.
You think you've got me figured out?
Come catch me first, then we can talk!

NIHOVI:
You keep on running, I keep on trying,
You're laughing so hard, you're nearly crying.
One more corner, one more turn,
Tonight, my darling, it's my turn!

Chorus 2 – Both

LUCY: Come a little closer, steal my space,
I love that smile upon your face.
NIHOVI: You keep on running, I won't let go,
I've got a few more tricks to show.

BOTH:
Run, run, run, the night's alive,
Two mischievous hearts at half past five!

LILY: PLINK PLINK! SOMEBODY'S BLUSHING!
LUCY: LILY, STOP LISTENING!
LILY: I'M NOT!

Bridge – Intimate Call and Response

NIHOVI: The clock says three, the lights are low...
LUCY: And you're still moving much too slow...
NIHOVI: One more step, and I've got you now.
LUCY: Then what, handsome? Tell me how.

NIHOVI: I'll catch that smile, that wicked grin.
LUCY: You'd better hurry if you want to win.
NIHOVI: You're impossible.
LUCY: And you're irresistible.

Final Chorus – Both

LUCY: Run, run, run, don't let me go!
NIHOVI: You're the sweetest trouble I know!
LUCY: Bare feet dancing, hearts on fire!
NIHOVI: One more chase, and I'll never tire!

BOTH:
Run, run, run, around we go,
Midnight mischief, nice and slow!

LILY: PLINK PLINK! CAUGHT YOU BOTH!
LUCY: You little menace!
NIHOVI: She's the boss now.
LILY: I KNOW!

Outro – Whispered

LUCY: So... did you catch me?
NIHOVI: Eventually.
LUCY: Took you long enough.
NIHOVI: Tomorrow, my turn.
LUCY: (Giggles) Dream on, darling.
LILY: PLINK!
ALL: (Laughing) Goodnight!
