Don’t Go

[CLIFF, spoken]
Don't go

[SALLY, spoken]
What?

[CLIFF, spoken]
Don't go

[SALLY, spoken]
What's come over you?

[CLIFF, spoken]
I like you here
I need you here
I need your hairpins on the rug

[CLIFF]
If you're running away, I can't stop you, I know
Don't go

[SALLY, spoken]
Running away? Moving on!

[CLIFF]
Have you noticed I wear my heart on my sleeve?
Don't leave

[SALLY, spoken]
Just think, you'll be able to write uninterruptedly

[CLIFF, spoken]
Listen, Sally

[CLIFF]
To you I'm just another face
A warm, convenient place
A casual romance
But to me, you're more than just a girl
You are the only girl
And maybe my last chance

No, I can't wish you luck as you're walking away
Please stay
Sally, stay
Sally, stay
You may think I'll be glad if von Schwartzenbaum calls
But that's not so
Don't go, Sally

[SALLY, spoken]
You truly mean this?
Or is it some
Very funny kind of joke we'll laugh ourselves sick about later on?

[CLIFF, spoken]
If it's a joke, it's on me, I guess
Because the words just keep coming out all by themselves
The truth is, I can't imagine this lousy room without you

[SALLY, spoken]
It is a lousy room

[CLIFF, spoken]
Who could possibly live here?

[CLIFF]
This life, this giddy, hectic life
This harum, scarum life
I've never lived before
But you, it fits you like your skin
And just when I fit in
Your hand might close that door

Well, I've spoken my piece, now there's nothing to say
Please stay
Sally, stay
Sally, stay
You may think that in time I'll forget how it was
But that's not so
Don't go, Sally
Don't go, Sally
Don't go
