MARGARET:
I remember how those boys could dance.
Pressing close on Friday nights,
They could sweep me away...

Oh, how those boys
Were demons of romance.
In their cars, we'd chase the lights.
I know just how boys will behave.

CARRIE:
You'll like this boy, Momma.
He's not like the others.
He's so sweet and - and so polite.
He's nice, Momma, you'll like him!
You'll see, really you will.
Everyone isn't bad, Momma.
Everything's not a sin!

MARGARET:
Oh, how your father whispered in my ear.
First the kiss
And then the touch,
Mixing lies with the truth.
He would sigh and try
To draw me near.
Oh, he'd swear he cared so much.
That's what the boys do.

They'll make promises,
They will break your heart!
Then they'll laugh at you,
Watching you fall apart!
Don't you think that I know,
Don't you think this has happened before?
It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad,
Chasing you like a whore!

CARRIE:
No!

MARGARET:
Yes!

CARRIE:
But I did nothing wrong!
I've been good for so long!
It's the very first time!

MARGARET:
I'm afraid for your soul.

CARRIE:
Momma, it's not a crime!

MARGARET:
Now you're out of control.

CARRIE:
Tommy asked me to go!

MARGARET:
You will turn that boy down

CARRIE:
It's too late to say no!

MARGARET:
Or we'll move from this town.

CARRIE:
Once you meet him you'll find

MARGARET:
You're a moth to his flame.

CARRIE:
He's so gentle and kind!

MARGARET:
Men are all the same!
Don't you know their game?
Have you lost your mind?
Can't you see
Satan's passion has made you blind?
And this boy's like the rest,
And they're all like the serpents who crawl...

CARRIE:
You don't even understand!

MARGARET:
You can beg all you want to,
But I recall
How your father came to me that night...

CARRIE:
That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me!

MARGARET:
...with the smell of smoke and gin...

CARRIE:
Give me one chance and you'll see!

MARGARET:
With the lust in his eyes
And he took me and touched me -
I tried to fight.

CARRIE:
God, Momma, have you heard even one word that I've said?

MARGARET:
Satan made your father sin,

CARRIE:
Sometimes I wish you were dead!

MARGARET:
And the sin
Never dies!

CARRIE:
I said "yes", Momma, I said "yes"!

MARGARET:
Come and pray!

CARRIE:
No more praying, Momma! No! No!
No! No!
No! No! No!
I am not afraid of you at all.
I have nothing left to lose
I have power I can use.
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever stop me again.
