I Don't Know How to Love Him

About I Don't Know How to Love Him

"I Don't Know How to Love Him" is a song from the 1970 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar written by Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics), a torch ballad sung by the character of Mary Magdalene. In the opera she is presented as bearing an unrequited love for the title character. The song has been much recorded, with "I Don't Know How to Love Him" being one of the rare songs to have had two concurrent recordings reach the Top 40 of the Hot 100 chart in Billboard magazine, specifically those by Helen Reddy and Yvonne Elliman, since the 1950s when multi-version chartings were common.  more »

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days, when I've seen myself

I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man. He's just a man

And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this

What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been

So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so
I never thought I'd come to this

What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope

I'd turn my head. I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so

I love him so
