[WEILL, spoken]
Dear Lenya
In the few days I've been here, I've already met all sorts of interesting people, including Her Highness the Princess [?]. She has commissioned me to write a symphony
[LENYA, spoken]
Dear Weill
I am in Düsseldorf playing Juliet, a thirteen year old virgin. Everybody buys it. I must be one hell of an actress
[WEILL]
Don't hold me so close
For I don't love you
You've got what you want
I'm only a friend
[LENYA, spoken]
Otto takes superb care of me
[WEILL]
To feel your embrace
Might cut me in two
The sight of your face
[?]
[LENYA, spoken]
By the way, the divorce went through
(sung)
Come tell me the names
Of your new affairs
Describe all their games
And mimic their sighs
For you understand
That I don't love you
But don't press my hand
Or look deep in my eyes
[WEILL, spoken]
Dear Juliet
Hello from your ex-Romeo. All goes well here. I am doing a film score for Jean Renoir. Don't write to me at the hotel anymore, the Princess has become my patron, and I have moved into her palace. You should see the size of my bedroom!
(sung)
I haven't been hurt
You won't see me cry
Our love was a dream
And dreams have to die
[LENYA, spoken]
Dear Highness
I wish I could come and pee in your royal toilet. The play I do now is a big fat hit all over the place! I send reviews, in case you didn't see them
(sung)
Yes, just let me know
How happy you'll be
Make sure I can see
How brightly you smile
How you feel for her
Describe it to me
Find words to convey
Her inexpressible style
(spoken)
Otto begs me to make a baby with him. I think... maybe I'll do it
[WEILL]
No, don't say a word
What good would it do?
The fire is out
The blaze is so high
When romance is new
If I seem to cry...
Please don't ask me why
My darling, my love
Oh, how can you doubt it?
I don't love you
No, don't press my hand
Don't hold me so close
No, I don't love you
