Sunset Boulevard - Girl Meets Boy lyrics

Joe Girl meets boy, that's a safe beginning Betty It's nearly closing, I thought you weren't going to show. Joe So did I, I felt it might be kinder Betty What are you saying? Joe Come on, Miss Schaeffer, you know. Betty What? Joe Every time I see some young kid Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece I just want to throw them on the next train home. Betty Never thought you'd be so condescending, Joe Sorry, Miss Schaeffer, I don't come here to fight. Betty Girl meets boy, if that's how you want it. She's a young teacher, he's a reporter. It's hate at first sight. Joe It won't sell, these days they want glamour; Fabulous heiress meets handsome hollywood heel The problem is, she thinks he's a burglar. Would yo believe it? A wedding in the last reel. Betty It doesn't have to be so mindless. You should write from your experience Give us something really moving; something true. Joe Who wants true? Who the hell wants moving? Moving means starving And true means holes in your shoe. Betty No, you're wrong. They still make good pictures. Stick to your story, it's a good story. Joe O.K. Miss Schaeffer; I give it to you. Betty What do you mean? Joe It's what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it. Betty Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own. But I thought we could write it together. Joe I can't, I'm all tied up. Betty Couldn't we work evening? Six o'clock in the morning? I'd come to your place. Joe Look, Betty, it can't be done, it's out. Let's keep in touch through Artie. That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk. Write this down, I'll give you some ground rules. Plenty of conflict but nice guy don't break the law. Girl meets boy, she give herself completely And though she loves him Joe/Betty She keep one foot on the floor Betty No one dies except the best friend No one ever mentions communists No one takes a black friend to a restaurant. Joe Very good, nothing I can teach you We could have had fun fighting the studio. Betty Yes, Mr. Gillis. That's just what I want. Artie What a nightmare, good to see you. Come to my new year party. Joe Last year it got out of hand Artie Guaranteed bad behavior Joe See you then Betty Don't give up, you're too good. Joe Thanks.
