Talk to Me (Live)

Talk to me, I'm trying to tell you something

Open up your ears and hear what I want to say

There isn't anyone else, but me here

There isn't anyone else, who's listening

I don't think you care about anything, no

Personal relationships, sex, love, affection

Or the accident tonight

Goodnight, Maurice

Yeah, goodnight

One more dream that will not come true

One more wish that has fallen through

One more war, that I'm caught between

One more fight, where I'm the one who's mean

Hello, yeah, hello?

Um, look, there was an accident tonight outside the Orpheum Theatre

Um, my name is Myrtle Gordon, I'm an actress in the play here

Yeah, yeah, you do?

Listen, um, there was a girl, uh, Nancy

I don't know her last name

Was she killed?

Um, I'm sorry to hear that, thank you

I need your help, seriously

This woman that Myrtle is playing

What do you think is wrong with her?

You used to be an actress, help me

Oh, I am not interested anymore, Manny

I have a life now, she doesn't

She's a character on the stage

Her words are all written, her moves are all directed

And there's no room for me there

Always waitin' on the corner

In New York, somewhere

Caught between the border

Of hell and high water

There isn't anyone else, but me here

There isn't anyone else, who's listening

I'm in a ridiculous situation

I have to direct a play I know nothing about

I need you

I need you to be honest with me right now

Tell me what it's like to be alone as a woman

Here, let me pour us another drink

I don't know what this woman would do

What do you do when you're alone?

Ugh!

Are you unhappy?

Are you restless? Horny?

Do you pick up the phone and call some guy, you know?

Oh, Manny, I swear to God

I'm not gonna get into this with you again

I mean, you have an actress

Use her, talk to her

I did, she doesn't understand

You should go to rehearsals, watch everything

See what the problems are

Sit with Myrtle, talk to her

Be part of my life

Oh, talk to me, I'm trying to tell you something

Open up your ears and hear what I want to say

There isn't anyone else, but me here

There isn't anyone else, who's listening

Manny? Yeah

I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm getting tired

It's always the same, you talk, I sleep

If I'd known you were a boring man when I married you

I wouldn't have gone through all those emotional crises

But I was young, you were handsome

Still are

One more dream (one more) that will not come true (dream that will not come true)

One more wish (one more) that has fallen through (wish that has fallen through)

One more war (one more) that I'm caught between (war that I'm caught between)

One more fight (one more) where I'm the one who's mean (fight where I'm the one who's mean)

You're not interested in my problems, I'm not interested in yours

Excuse me, we were talking about your problems

Excuse me, I was talking about the play

Oh, right

Well, now I'm thinking about my problems

Mm, now I'm thinking about how much I love you!

You know, when we did that movie together

I really could see your soul

In that one little scene you had which you weren't very good in, oh, dear

Mm, right, I'm going to bed, you coming?

I'm gonna finish my drink

Alright, well, I guess I'll join you

Come on, I'm gonna (no, no, no)

Put it down, put it down, put it down (stop it)

Come on, come with me (it's not-)

Come on, come on, come on (oh)

Always waiting on the corner

In New York somewhere

Caught between the border

Of hell and high water

There isn't anyone else but me here

There isn't anyone else who's listening

Manny?

Mm-mm?

I need love so much

I don't know if it's you

But I need to be loved
