Too Much In Love To Care (US 1994 / Musical "Sunset Boulevard")

BETTY: I had a telegram from Artie

JOE: Is something wrong?

BETTY: He wants me to come out to Tennessee.

He says it would only cost 2 dollars to get married in Clinch

JOE: 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: Not any more

JOE: Don't you love Artie?

BETTY: Of course I do. I'm just not in love with him any more, that's all

JOE: Why not? What happened?

BETTY: 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

JOE: What's the matter there, Max? You waiting to wash the car?

MAX: Please be careful when you cross the patio. Madame may be watching

JOE: Suppose I tiptoe up the back stairs and get undressed in the dark, will that do it?

MAX: It's just that I am greatly worried about Madame

JOE: Well, we're not helping her any, feeling her lies, more lies.

What's going to happen when she finds out they're not going to make her picture?

MAX: She never will. That is my job. I made her a star and I will never let her be destroyed

JOE: You made her a star?

MAX: 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: Max von Mayerling

MAX: That's right
