Jesus Christ Superstar  started out as "a 1970 rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice."  [1]   

Here are the lyrics [2]:

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

In the comment section, Sara Wilkinson said this:

Beautiful song from the perspective of a woman who has only ever known how to show  'Love'  to a man through the act of sex. 

She is now confronted with a man (Jesus) who loves her unconditionally.  He does not expect anything from her......his love is absolutely pure. 

Mary Magdalene is at a loss to understand this kind of love.....it overwhelms her and amazes her.....it also terrifies her because she realizes that she loves him too.
