Too Much in Love To Care Songtext

von Sunset Boulevard Musical

(spoken)
BETTY: T-H-E E-N-D. I can't believe it, I've finished my first script!
JOE: Stop it, You're making me feel old.
BETTY: It's exciting, though, isn't it?
JOE: How old are you, anyway?
BETTY: Twenty-two.
JOE: Smart girl...
BETTY: Shouldn't we open some champaigne?
JOE: Best I can offer is a stroll to the water cooler at the end of the lot.
BETTY: Sounds good to me.
(Pause)
JOE: Must be kinda exciting, finishing the first script.
BETTY: What?
JOE: Are you all right?
BETTY: Sure...
JOE: Something's the matter, isn't it?
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$ to get married in Clinch.
JOE: Well, what's stopping you? Now we'vé finished the script and... Hey, why are you crying? You getting married, isn't that what you wanted?
BETTY: Not any more...
JOE: Why not? What happened?
BETTY: You did.
(sung)
BETTY:
When I was a kid
I played on the 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 ife 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, bit 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
