I Trusted Him

I trusted him! I trusted him!
But what made me think I could ever put my trust in him? He bowed and smiled, his King beguiled,
And I bit! How could I have known the evil that he hid by guile? I trusted him!
And oh, what should I do now? I know he is a powerful man.
If he has friends who could kill every Persian Jew Then they could surely kill me too
I can't believe I ever put my trust in him!

(Haman)
Please pretty queen, pity, pity, pity me
Have mercy, dear queen, pretty pretty pretty please.
1 never meant to hurt you - no! So you are a Jewess, how could 1 know?
I've had a hard life, oh, pity, pity me
Have mercy on me, pretty, pretty, pretty please.
I had a miserable childhood. If I had been loved I know I'd now be good!
Please, queen, please, queen! See I'm on my knees queen!
Oh -- help me! You alone can save me! Do you know what he plans to do?
I've never seen him quite so Mad. Help me!

He wants to be King - more than anything!
That's his plan! I can see it now! He lays the traps he pulls the strings,

He kills the Jews! My Esther too!
1 was blind! Can a king be wrong? And now I'm left with what to do. I trusted him!
And oh, what else has he done? Who knows if he has other plans?
1 must rid myself of his scheming head Or else one day I'll wake up dead I can't believe I ever put my trust in him!

Please pretty queen, pity, pity, pity me,
Have mercy dear queen, pretty pretty pretty please. I really think I should leave this land ...
Do you think that that could be your Royal Reprimand? Oh, I've had a hard life, oh, pity, pity me!
Have mercy on me, pretty, pretty pretty please.
Perhaps I have Made a poor choice or two
The King may see things that he might misconstrue.
Oh, please queen, please queen, again I'm on my knees queen!
Oh, help me! You alone can save me!
Tell the King 1 am "born again"! I'll be a model citizen:
No tricks, no bribes, no stratagem.
Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!
