Andrew Lloyd Webber
"Peter's Denial (Jesus Christ Superstar)"


Maid by the Fire)
I think I've seen you somewhere
I remember
You were with that man
They took away
I recognize your face

(Peter)
You've got the wrong man, lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where
He was tonight
Never near the place

(Soldier)
That's strange
For I am sure I saw you with him
You were right by his side
And yet you deny it?

(Peter)
I tell you
I was never ever with him

(Old Man)
But I saw you too
It looked just like you

(Peter)
I DON'T KNOW HIM!

(Mary Magdalene)
Peter don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead

(Peter)
I had to do it
Don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me

(Mary Magdalene)
It's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew
