texttext

Just what time of night do you call this?
No, I'm not all right. I've said this before
but you haven't heard.
Let me finish, I said let me finish.
(How long did it take before you rung the doorbell?)
Hair's combed, and your ties a little too perfect.
No more alibis, no more stupid lies, what a fool I've been!
Let me finish, I said let me finish.
Wait a minute you'll get your turn,
it's not often I get the chance to talk.
It's getting harder to hide that I'm no spring chicken.
Forever's not as long as it used to be.
Never thought I would ever say,
keep Manhattan, give me Muswell Hill.
Sick of looking at your fair-off sweaters
and your constant sneezing when the pollens high.
(No I don't want a drink.) Not yet.
I've rehearsed these next lines for ages.
Why do I feel cold?
I suppose it's nerves. I don't need a drink.
It's not the end of the world if you lose me!
I've made up my mind, I think that I have.
I don't care if the neighbors hear!
You always say us British are too reserve.
I somehow hope that you would tell me
you've found somebody else, not now.
Let me finish.
You'll get your chance to call me a child.
I don't want to hurt you. Stop screaming.
It hurts when I hurt you.
Face facts, you and I are simply not suited.
I want kids. You won't even talk about them.
Please don't. I must not be talked into staying.

It's not the end of the world if I lose him.
It just might seem so tonight.
It's not the end of the world. It's a blessing.
Mustn't wait till it's too late.

Tell me I've done the right thing.
We'll I know that myself.
The older I get though the choosier I am,
and somebody handsome and brilliant
will be hard to find.
That's my kind.

It's not the end of the world to take chances.
Standing still is no big thrill.
It's not the end of the world to chase rainbows.
I'll be fine when I find mine.
It's not the end of the world to move on.
It's not the end of the world till it's gone.

Mum, I've got a lot to tell you.
Me and Joe have had a bust up.
This will be the last letter
with the post mark stamped N.Y.

I've met a film producer.
Please don't laugh his name is Sheldon.
He's what the people here all call
a real together guy.

He is off to California
and he wants me to go with him.
Oh, thanks for your last letter
I was thrilled to hear from you.

The pictures of Aunt Edna
are all absolutely... lovely,
and incidentally Sheldon's mum,
loves Mantovani too.

Mum, you must ignore the neighbors.
You can't stop Cassius barking.
You'll become a nervous wreck, love,
just by listening to them.

Sheldon's got a house in Bel Air,
well, it's really a pink mansion.
It's got electric gates and armed guards,
and he calls it La Boheme.

Sheldon has a lot of meetings.
Well, he's terribly ambitious.
He's working on a musical 'bout
Rommel, as a boy.

Tell Dad I will be livid
if you spend two weeks in Folkston.
I know that La Boheme's a place
that you will both enjoy.

I'll walk your dog.
I'll be the first one in the shower.
We'll make love every hour,
beneath your Van Goh.

I'll park the car,
and I'll whistle while the eggs are frying.
I'll dance while your shirts are drying.
Waltz or tango?

Let me move in
and let's get this show rolling.
I'll talk to your plants,
I'll even go bowling.

There is nothing I wouldn't do.
I'd be the perfect little lady for you.
Sheldon Bloom,
make some room.

Won't say a word
when you're watching Spencer Tracy.
I'll learn to dig Count Bassie.
Nothing to it.

I'll start to jog.
If that's what you want to take up.
I'll stop wearing make-up.
I can do it.

When you meditate
I promise I'll be quiet.
I won't eat eclairs.
I'll share your sugar free diet.

There is nothing I wouldn't do.
I'll be the perfect little lady for you.
Pass the key,
Sheldon B.

No horoscope.
You won't ever hear me mention Pisces.
There won't be any crises,
you can bet that.

I'll give up pork.
In a will tune that old viola.
Quote things from Emile Zola.
I must get that.

I'll make chicken soup
when you feel fluey.
Be your analyst
when your heads real screwy.

There is nothing I wouldn't do.
I'd be the perfect little lady for you.
Sheldon dear,
I like it here!

Capped teeth and Caesar salad,
good old Beverly Hills,
with every deal that's done
an award is won.
You can rent a car
or rent a star.

Suntans and Sunday brunches.
Sprinklers sprinkle away.
Careers are being hyped
before the scripts are typed.
I'll call you back and have a nice day.

Capped teeth and Caesar salad.
Spotless Beverly Hills.
If someone takes a walk
all the neighbors talk.
Ev'ry man and beast
came from out east.

Egos and valet parking.
Newsmen gossip away.
If you don't mean a thing
You find your phone won't ring.
I'll call you back and have a nice day.

Capped teeth and Caesar salad.
Prime time Beverly Hills.
The cost of land so high
you can't afford to die.
When you feel bad day
you dial-a-prayer.

Earthquakes and english muffins.
Ulcers poppin' away.
It's like a fairy tale
Long as you don't inhale.
I'll call you back and have a nice day.

You made me think you were in love.
You made me think that I was all you'd need.
You made me think you were in love.
If they gave Oscars for deceit you would win.
Plastic man, hear me if you can.

You made me think you were in love.
You could of used your charm on someone else.
You made me think you were the one.
It's hard to see the frog when dazzled by lights.
Hollow man, break down if you can.

Exit, way out.
Exit, fade out.
It's a wrap, no more takes,
we're through!

Exit, print it.
Exit, goodbye.
Find someone else at a cinema
near you!
I've seen this movie and I hated it before,
Fade out. Exit. Cut!

You made me think you were in love.
We're both too old to play these kind of games.
If you tried coping with the real world,
you'd realize that after conning someone,
you can't just say that does it for today.

Exit, way out.
Exit, fade out.
It's a wrap, no more takes,
we're through!

Exit, print it.
Exit, goodbye.
Find someone else at a cinema
near you!
Fade out. Exit. Cut!

CAPPED TEETH AND CAESAR SALAD (REPRISE)

Capped teeth and Caesar salad.
Blood clot Beverly Hills.
When business starts to dip
wheel out the glucose strip.
Have a cutthroat time
with a twist of lime.

Dreamers trapped in a jewel box.
Big names fading away.
It's like a wonderland
except the laughter's canned.
I'll call you back and,
have a nice day.

It's not the end of the world if he's younger.
It won't show. No one need know.
It's not the end of the world. Not for ages.
I won't let, that worry me yet.

I know he'll still be young
when I'm over the hill,
and his fascination will soon turn to boredom.
There's nothing in common
that his friends and I have to share.
I don't care.

It's not the end of the world if I love him.
What's a few, birthday's or two.
It's not the end of the world if he loves me.
Is he though, too young to know?
It's not the end of the world if we try.
If it's the end of the world, then goodbye

I'm a lady, when you kiss me.
I'm a child when you are leaving.
I'm a woman, every time our bodies meet,
complete.

Long lost feelings, stir inside me.
Used to think nights were for sleeping.
Being wanted, is a thrill I never knew,
till you.

Now I'm a live inside, I'm glowing.
I'm where I want to be.
Loving you I can be me. Just me.

It's the first time when you kiss me.
Now I long for rainy mornings.
I am certain, you're the last time in my life.

I'm a lady, when you kiss me.
I'm a child when you are leaving.
I'm a woman, every time our bodies meet,
complete.

Long lost feelings, stir inside me.
Used to think nights were for sleeping.
Being wanted, is a thrill I never knew,
till you.

Now I'm a live inside, I'm glowing.
I'm where I want to be.
Loving you I can be me. Just me.

It's the first time when you touch me.
Now I long for rainy mornings.
In each other, we find all we're looking for, and more.

Found the rainbow I was after.
No more dreams with one face missing.
I am certain you're the last man in my life.
I am certain you're the last man in my life!

I will see you in a week or two.
It's late, you better get going.
Take care of yourself and call any time you feel
that you're missing me.
I can only say what I always say at these goodbyes.
Come back with the same look in your eyes.

I know you've got your work to do,
and I know how much you love me,
but sometimes a friendly face can look good to you
on a lonely night.
If there comes a time just remember I'm the kind that cries.
Come back with the same look in your eyes.

Everything we want we find in each other.
We would be fools to let love slip away.
Everything's so right. I'm scared that we might
lose it one day.

We could never keep things from one another.
You know all the feelings that are in my heart.
It's not easy, it's not easy,
when we have to be apart.

So I'll see you in a week or two.
Go on, you better get going.
You'd think by now we'd know how to handle this
but we never will.
When you are away, ev'ry day I pray that nothing dies,
and you'll come back with the same look in your eyes.

It's not easy, it's not easy,
when we have to be apart.

So I'll see you in a week or two.
It's late, you better get going.
You'd think by now we'd know how to handle this
but we never will.
When you are away, ev'ry day I pray that nothing dies,
and you'll come back with the same look.
Please come back, with the same look.
Won't you come back with the same look in your eyes.

You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been
you couldn't have seen him yesterday.
He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now,
I hate it when he's away.

You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are.
There's more than one car with stickers on
and lots of young guys wear corduroy pants,
and I'd know if he hadn't gone.

Take that look off your face.
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

If I'm not mistaken, this is nothing new,
that I can tell you how it began.
I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes,
as only a woman can.
No, I didn't dig deep.
I did not want to know.
Well, you don't interfere
when you're scared of the things you might hear.
Bet you think I should end this right now as you would do.
Well, my fair weather friend, I am not you.

Take that look off your face!
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you:
I knew before!

Don't write a letter when you want to leave.
Don't call me at 3 A.M. from a friend's apartment.
I'd like to choose how I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance.
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation.
I know the way we should spend the day.
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Don't want to know who's to blame,
it won't help knowing.
Don't want to fight day and night
bad enough you're going.

Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
that's no way to end this,
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

I don't want to fight day and night,
bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
that's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Don't run off in the pouring rain.
Don't call me as they call your plane.
Take that hurt out of all the pain.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

I love New York.
I love New York.
I love New York.
The words you see,
on coffee cups,
on shirts and hats,
on lollipops,
and baseball bats.
On pens and walls,
on skates and cars,
in libraries and singles bars.
On badges, flags,
tattooed on skin.
Oh, New York,
I've never been so lonely.
Loneliness must be the worst feeling
of all.

How many times can you walk
56th street?
Drives you mad. Worst time I've had.
How many times can you look
at tall buildings?
Tall is tall, and that is all.

Don't see the harm it'll do,
he seems such a nice man,
and anything's better than watching those game shows
or t.v. commercials that sell you Miami all night.
Must be right.

It's not the end of the world
if he's married.
Making due, is nothing new.
It's not the end of the world
it's just starting.
Half of one is better than none.

It's not the end of the world,
no it's not.
If it's the end of the world,
well, so what.

I'll be discreet.
I won't hiss at your wife when I see her,
and though I'd love to be her,
she'll never know it.

I'll take the pill.
I won't upset the boats you're rowin'.
Carry on the way you're goin'.
I won't blow it.

When baseball's on
you can turn my set louder.
You can rave all night
about your wife's clam chowder.
I'm sure it will work out just right.
Don't mind being the candle
you sometimes light.
Married man,
yes you can.

Won't write this down.
I'm not the type that keeps a diary.
I know when to be fiery,
or plain placid.

I won't look crushed
when you say your wife is pretty,
bright, and very witty.
Pass the acid.

I won't cry at all
when you walk right by me.
I'd say you can't lose.
You'd be a fool. Come try me.
She and I can cover each mood.
One can be in heat while the other's subdued.
Married sir,
me and her.

Won't call your club,
and I'll never drive thru Oyster Bay, dear.
I won't give you away, dear,
to your Bernice, love.

If you should die,
I won't attend the funeral service.
No need to look so nervous.
Rest in peace, love.

When Christmas comes,
I'll choose your gifts and wrap them.
When we make plans,
I won't scream when you scrap them.
There is nothing I wouldn't do.
I'd be the perfect little mistress for you.
Grant my wish,
Married dish.

I'm very you, you're very me.
We seem to go well together.
You're very me, I'm very you.
A perfect match I would say.
We mean the world to each other.
There are no lengths that we wouldn't go to,
Goes to show you...
I'm very you, you're very me.
We make a great combination.
You're very me, I'm very you.
No one could be
more in tune with me.
Like sea and sand, like sun and sky.
There'll always be you and I.

I'm very you, you're very me.
We are compatible people.
You're very me, I'm very you.
I guess we're two of a kind.
I stay away when you're moody.
If I don't want to talk you make no fuss.
We both know us!
I'm very you, you're very me.
We're 'bout as close as you can be.
You're very me, I'm very you.
Sometimes we get
Angry and upset,
But each fight ends the way it should.
We both make up very good.

I'm very you, you're very me.
If I was Jane you'd be Tarzan.
You're very me, I'm very you.
If I am Bonnie, you're Clyde.
If you're New York than I'm Broadway.
If I'm a violin you're Yehudi.
Punch and Judy!
I'm very you, you're very me.
We just can't be separated.
You're very me, I'm very you.
No one has got
What we two have got.
Like P and Q, like two and three.
You'll always be next to me.

LET ME FINISH (REPRISE) / LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU

Funny, always thought of you as my girlfriend.
I just can't believe you could come in here
and say all those things.
Let me finish, you must let me finish.
Thank you.
Thanks for bringing me up to date dear.
Didn't know you knew all the in's and out's
of my private life.
Let me finish, you must let me finish.

Funny...always thought of you as my girlfriend.
I just can't believe you can come in here
and say all those things.
Let me finish...you must let me finish.
Thank you...thanks for bringing me up to date dear.
Didn't know you knew all the ins and out of my
private life.
Let me finish...you must let me finish.

Let's talk about you
A minute or two.
What tart is your husband keeping.
Where's he sleeping?
Can't you say?

Let's talk about men.
You're at it again!
I hear that you need a bedful
for those dreadful
games you play.

How dare you come in here
wagging your wicked tongue?
Your cheeks are red my dear.
You look like you've been stung.
I know my life's a mess...
but I think you're the worst thing in it.
Wait a minute...

Let's talk about you
because you never do.
You couldn't wait to blurt out
all that dirt out in my face.

Let's talk about pills
and illegal thrills.
I hear that the habit's gripped you
and you've tripped to every place.

Does it make you feel good
Knowing that I feel bad?
Yes, knowing you it would.
You must be very sad.
You can't know how I feel.
But my friend you're about to learn how
it's my turn now...

Let's talk about booze
and how much you use.
What time do your kids start drinking?
Am I sinking low as you?

Yes he knows lots of girls...he likes his fun.
I am glad he got lot's and not just one.
How's that fat little man...was it one more affair?

Where are you going...Why are you running away from me?
Are you absolutely sure you don't want to stay for tea!

texttext

Nothing like you've ever known.
That's the life I thought I was
gonna show you.

Lonely girls leave such things.
That's one happy ever after
that I owe you.

Married man, always looking at your watch.
I wanted to spend more time than twelve till two,
loving you.

And nothing like it should have been.
Every time I think it's gonna be
the last time.

Each time I expect too much.
Being wrong can get to be
a painful past time.

Something new, that is all it was, you know.
But when you need someone, any love will do.
Sad, but true.

And nothing like we've ever known.
That is how I thought all our tomorrow's
should be.

I thought we, were all we'd need.
Goes to show you just how wrong two people
could be.

texttext

I've done it again!
Trust me. If you want something ruined give it to me.
Show me a dream and I'll show you a nightmare.
I'm not a little girl anymore I keep forgetting that.
Whatever I do now is bound to be a mistake.
Maybe I expect too much.
Come back. Can't we sit and talk this thing over?

Why should I cry? I can do better.
Not good enough for me.
Nothing like it's gonna be.

It's not the end of the world to chase rainbows.
I'll be fine when I find mine.
It's not the end of the world nothing like it.
Someone's there and I'll find where.
It's not the end of the world to be free.
It's not the end of the world wait and see

Time the song begins and time
the dance begins to stir.
Once more the world is turning.

So, the music plays again,
and we're back on the floor.
Once more the spark is burning.

Hands and faces weren't around.
A half remembered sound.
The sleeping heart is waking.
When you want to fall in love,
you may find less than love,
but that's the chance worth taking.

Light, we're dazzled by the light.
We wallow in the light.
The dreamers start believing.

Words are whispered in the night,
and for a while we're safe.
A kiss can be deceiving.

Hands and faces weren't around.
A half remembered sound.
The sleeping heart is waking.
When you want to fall in love,
you may find less than love,
but that's the chance worth taking.

Time the song begins and time
the dance begins to stir.
Once more the world is turning.

So, the music plays again,
and we're back on the floor.
Once more the spark is burning.

Hands and faces weren't around.
A half remembered sound.
The sleeping heart is waking.
When you want to fall in love,
you may find less than love,
but that's the chance worth taking.
