"Somebody Should Have Told Her" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (1988 Stratford Production)

MISS GARDNER

I can't believe she never learned

She's so naive and so afraid

CHRIS

Do you believe her, bleeding like that?

Ha! What a joke.

SUE

Her mother should have told her

CHRIS

And that holy-rolling mother of hers

MISS GARDNER

Somebody should have told her

CHRIS

Always ranting about how everyone is going straight to hell

Except for her and her precious little Carrie.

SUE

My god what have we done here?

I'd never try to hurt her

CHRIS

Remember that time she got down on her knees

praying in the cafeteria.

On her goddamn knees!

MISS GARDNER

The girls went wild

I was shocked the way their faces burned

Chris I'd expect but never Sue

CHRIS

Goddamn praying Carrie

SUE 

She cried like she was broken

CHRIS

And that light bulb breaking

It was a scream

SUE / GARDNER

Somebody should have told her

CHRIS

Squealing like a stuffed pig. Haha

SUE

Chris!

CHRIS

Well, she was.

She was!

SUE

You're my best friend and sometimes I don't understand you

CHRIS

What's to understand?

She's a pig!

SUE

Come on, think of Carrie.

CHRIS

Oh my heart bleeds for her

SUE

Why do you always pick on her?

CHRIS

Because she's there.

I don't know!

SUE

Well maybe she needs help.

CHRIS

Ha, you can say that again.

SUE

Listen Chris,

you've got Billy

I've got Tommy

Carrie has no one

SUE

Sure she does, she's got her mother
