When You Get to Know Me

(WARD leads CHRISTINE KEELER onto the tiny dance floor and whirls her round expertly.)

[WARD]
We start out as strangers
The gods have brought us together
When I saw your face
I knew we'd be friends

When you get to know me
When we get to know each other
I'm certain that we will
Before the night ends

I'd like to know what makes you feel happy
What music makes you sad
All of our secrets slowly unravelled
Such good times to be had
We mustn't miss them

When you get to know me
When you get to know me better
Next time we meet

[CHRISTINE]
You won't get to know me
There ain't gonna be a next time
It's not what you think
I came for a drink

I hear the same things over and over
Wasn't born yesterday
I have been through enough hoops this evening
I'd best be on my way
You must be joking

Still, happy to meet you
And better luck next time, Stephen
I'll say goodbye

[WARD]
I'd like to know what makes you feel happy
What music makes you sad
So many secrets to be discovered
Such good times to be had
We mustn't miss them

When you get to know me
When you get to know me better
Next time we meet

[CHRISTINE]
You won't get to know me
You won't get to know me better

[WARD]
Next time we meet
