Act II: Too Much in Love To Care

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 anymore

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 anymore

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

JOE & BETTY

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

JOE & BETTY

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!
