Текст: Soundtrack Artists. Better Fall Out Of Love.

[Joe]
Believe me, baby, in "The Lincoln Suite"
The paths of politics and show-biz meet.

[Edie]
You'll never drag me south of 42nd Street.
Better fall out of love.

[Joe]
I need a leading lady with me neck and neck
To help me lobby for a campaign check.

[Edie]
The only lobby I know is "The Martin Beck."

[Edie & Joe]
Better fall out of love.

[Edie]
I crave the glamour of a Broadway show,
The blaze of shimmering marquees.

[Joe]
With me you'll always get a standing "o."
A national saint.

[Edie]
"The Palace" it ain't.

[Joe]
Believe me, baby, on Election Day
The White House has it on "The Great White Way."

[Edie]
But with your inauguration on a matinee-

[Edie & Joe]
There lies the rub, my dove!

[Edie]
Ciao Romeo - I'll take the Rialto.

[Edie & Joe]
Better fall out of love!
Better fall out of love!

[Edie]
I won't plant dahlias with the D.A.R.

[Joe](spoken)
Fine!

[Edie]
The cherry blossoms make me sneeze.

[Joe](spoken)
Gesundheit!

[Edie]
About your daddy and that movie star...

[Joe]
That's over and done!

[Edie]
Like father, like son?

[Joe]

Hey-!
A lasting marriage should be built on trust.

[Edie]
You can't keep secrets or the bond's a bust,

[Edie & Joe]
Although there are certain topics better un-discussed!

[Edie]
Who have you been with?

[Joe]
You to begin with!

[Edie & Joe]
Better fall out of...!
Have to fall out of...!
Got to fall out...!
Need to fall out...!
Time to fall...!

[Joe](spoken)
Goddamnit, Edie, you're impossible!

[Edie](spoken)
Don't take that tone with me-

[Joe](spoken)
What tone?

[Edie](spoken)
The way Daddy talks to Mother!

[Joe](spoken)
Would you shut up about your mother? Aren't I supposed to be the one who matters most?

[Edie](spoken)
You are. Of course you are. I don't know what's wrong with me.

[Joe](spoken)
You've just got the jitters, that's all. I get 'em, too. Sometimes I'm in the middle of a flight maneuver, and my nerves
just go. So you know what I do?

(sung)
I'm up there flyin' on a wing and prayer
With nuthin' under me but empty air
Till I remember you and then I'm halfway there...

[Edie]
What was I thinkin' of...?

[Edie & Joe]
Win, place, or show-

[Edie]
I'm bettin' on us, Joe.

[Edie & Joe]
Better stay right in love.
Better stay right in love.
Come as it may.
Be what it might,
Better stay right in love.
