Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Phone Call Lyrics

[NORMA, spoken, on the phone]
Hello, is this Gladstone 9281? Miss Schaefer? Hello, Miss Schaefer, you must forgive me for calling so late, but I really feel it's my duty. It's about Mr. Gillis - you do know a Mr. Gillis? Well, exactly how much do you know about him? Do you know where he lives? Do you know what he lives on?

[NORMA]
I want to spare you a lot of sadness
I don't know what he's told you
But I can guarantee you
He doesn't live with mother
Or what you'd call a roommate
He's just a - I can't say it
Poor Betty
You ask him
I'd love to hear his answer
Joe!

[JOE, spoken, on the phone]
That's right, Betty, why don't you ask me?

[NORMA, spoken]
Don't

[JOE, spoken, on the phone]
Or better yet, come over and see for yourself. Yes, right now
The address is ten thousand eighty-six, Sunset Boulevard

[NORMA, spoken]
Don't hate me, Joe. I did it because I need you. Look at me. Look at my hands. Look at my face. Look under my eyes. How can I go back to work if I'm wasting away? No! Don't stand there hating me, Joe. Shout at me, strike me, but say you don't hate me
