Christopher Hampton - Too Much in Love to Care lyrics

[BETTY, spoken] I had a telegram from Artie [JOE, spoken] Is something wrong? [BETTY, spoken] He wants me to come out to Tennessee. He says it would only cost 2 dollars to get married in Clinch [JOE, spoken] Well, what's stopping you! Now we've finished the script - Hey, why are you crying? You're getting married, isn't that what you wanted? [BETTY, spoken] Not any more [JOE, spoken] Don't you love Artie? [BETTY, spoken] Of course I do. I'm just not in love with him any more, that's all [JOE, spoken] Why not? What happened? [BETTY, spoken] You did [BETTY] When I was a kid I played on this street I always loved illusion I thought make-believe Was truer than life But now it's all confusion Please can you tell me what's happening? I just don't know any more If this is real How should I feel? What should I look for? [JOE] If you were smart You would keep on walking Out of my life As fast as you can I'm not the one You should pin your hopes on You're falling for The wrong kind of man This is crazy You know we should call it a day Sound advice, great advice Let's throw it away I can't control All the things I'm feeling I haven't got a prayer If I'm a fool Well, I'm too much in love to care I knew where I was I'd given up hope Made friends with disillusion No one in my life But I look at you And now it's all confusion [BETTY] Please can you tell me what's happening? I just don't know any more If this is real How should I feel? What should I look for? I thought I had Everything I needed My life was set My dreams were in place My heart could see Way into the future All of that goes When I see your face I should hate you There I was, the world in my hand Can one kiss kiss away Everything I planned? I can't control All the things I'm feeling I'm floating in mid-air I know it's wrong But I'm too much in love to care [BOTH] I thought I had Everything I needed My life was set My dreams were in place My heart could see Way into the future All of that goes When I see your face This is crazy You know we should call it a day [JOE] Sound advice [BETTY] Great advice [BOTH] Let's throw it away I can't control All the things I'm feeling We're floating in mid-air If we are fools Well, we're too much in love to care If we are fools Well, we're too much in love to care (Back at the house on Sunset.) [JOE, spoken] What's the matter there, Max? You waiting to wash the car? [MAX, spoken] Please be careful when you cross the patio. Madame may be watching [JOE, spoken] Suppose I tiptoe up the back stairs and get undressed in the dark, will that do it? [MAX, spoken] It's just that I am greatly worried about Madame [JOE, spoken] Well, we're not helping any, feeling her lies, more lies. What's going to happen when she finds out they're not going to make her picture? [MAX, spoken] She never will. That is my job. I made her a star and I will never let her be destroyed [JOE, spoken] You made her a star? [MAX, spoken] I directed all her early pictures. In those days, there were three young directors who showed promise: D.W. Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille, and - [JOE, spoken] Max von Mayerling MAX That's right
