angels - poor baby lyrics
sarah:
darling–
harry:
yes?
sarah:
robert.
harry:
what?
sarah:
i worry.
harry:
why?
sarah:
he’s all alone.
there’s no one–
harry:
where?
sarah:
in his life.
harry:
oh.
sarah:
robert ought to have a woman.
poor baby, all alone,
evening after evening by the telephone.
we’re the only tenderness he’s ever known.
poor baby!
jenny:
david–
david:
yes?
jenny:
robert.
david:
what?
jenny:
i worry.
david:
why?
jenny:
it’s such a waste.
there’s no one–
david:
where?
jenny:
in his life.
david:
oh.
jenny:
robert ought to have a woman.
poor baby, sitting there,
staring at the walls and playing solitaire,
making conversation with the empty air.
poor baby!
[later, as robert takes april to bed]
sarah:
robert…
jenny:
bobby…
sarah:
robert, angel…
jenny:
bobby, honey…
sarah:
you know,
no one
wants you to be happy
more than i do,
no one,
but isn’t she a little bit, well,
you know,
face it,
why her?
better,
no one–
jenny:
…wants you to be happy
more than i do,
no one,
but–
sarah & jenny:
isn’t she a little bit, well,
you know,
face it–
susan:
you know, no one
wants you to be happy
more than i do–
amy & joanne:
you know, no one
wants you to be happy
more than i do,
no one,
but–
all:
isn’t she a little bit, well–
[variously]
dumb?
tacky?
vulgar?
old?
tall?
aggressive?
where is she from?
neurotic?
peculiar?
and cheap?
she seems so dead.
she’s tall enough to be your mother.
and gross?
depressing?
she’s very weird.
and immature?
goliath!
[together]
poor baby, all alone,
throw a lonely dog a bone, it’s still a bone.
we’re the only tenderness he’s ever known.
poor baby!
