Who's Betty Schaeffer lyrics | |
Norma
Is this what you're looking for, by any chance?
Joe
Why, yes.
Norma
Whose phone number is this?
I've been worried about the line of my throat.
I think this woman has done wonders with it.
Joe
Good
Norma
And I have lost half a pound since Tuesday
Joe
Very good
Norma
Now it's after nine, I'd better get to bed
Joe
You had
Norma
Are you coming up?
Joe
I think I'll read a while longer
Norma
You went out last night, didn't you, Joe?
Joe
I went for a walk
Norma
You took the car
Joe
I drove to the beach
Norma
Who's Betty Schaeffer?
Joe
Surely,
you don't want me to feel as if I'm a prisoner in this house?
Norma
You don't understand Joe, I'm under a terrible strain.
It's been so hard I even got myself a revolver.
The only thing that stopped me from killing myself
Was the thought of all those people
Waiting to see me back on the screen.
How could I disappoint them?
All I ask is a little patience, a little understanding.
Joe
Norma, there's nothing to worry about,
I haven't done anything
Norma
Of course you haven't,
Good night, my darling
Joe
I should have stayed there, poor Norma,
So desperate to be ready for what would never happen
But Betty would be waiting,
We had a script to finish one unexpected love scene
Two people, both risking a kind of happy ending.
