Follies movie - DON'T LOOK AT ME lyrics

rate me

<br>

SALLY<br>

Ben, it's me.<br>

Now, folks, we bring you<br>

Di-rect from Phoenix,<br>

Live and in person.<br>

Sally Durant!<br>

Here she is at last,<br>

Twinkle in her eye,<br>

Hot off the press.<br>

Strictly a mess,<br>

Nevertheless...<br>

(smiling nervously)<br>

Hi, Ben...<br>

(before he can respond)<br>

No, don't look at me-<br>

Please, not just yet.<br>

Why am I here? This it crazy!<br>

No, don't look at me-<br>

I know that face.<br>

You're trying to place<br>

The name...<br>

Say something, Ben, anything.<br>

No, don't talk to me.<br>

Ben, I forget;<br>

What were we like? It's so hazy!<br>

Look at these people.<br>

Aren't they eerie?<br>

Look at this party.<br>

Isn't it dreary?<br>

I'm so glad I came.<br>

BEN:<br>

Can I look now? (She nods, smiling nervously) Yes, it's possible<br>

You might be Sally. Did you fall asleep at Toscanini broadcasts?<br>

(She nods.) Did you eat Baby Ruths for breakfast?<br>

SALLY:<br>

I still do sometimes. Oh, Ben, you're just the way<br>

I knew you'd be. You make me feel like I was nineteen<br>

and the four of us were going on the town.<br>

BOTH:<br>

So-<br>

I just look at us...<br>

SALLY:<br>

Fat...<br>

BEN:<br>

Turning gray...<br>

BOTH:<br>

Still playing games,<br>

Acting crazy.<br>

SALLY<br>

Isn't it awful?<br>

BEN:<br>

God. how depressing-<br>

BOTH:<br>

Me, I'm a hundred.<br>

You, you're a blessing-<br>

I'm so glad I came!<br>

BEN:<br>

What we need is a drink.<br>

<br>
