Table Talk Lyrics by Lauren Bacall, Harry Guardino

Woman of the Year (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1981

[TESS]
I scare them away
The men in my life
[SAM]
I love you
[TESS, spoken]
Sorry?
[SAM]
What were you saying?
[TESS]
The men in my life
I may be too strong
I'm tall for my height
So maybe—
[SAM]
I love you
[TESS]
—it's my fault
[SAM]
But—
[TESS]
Let me go on
[SAM]
I'm sorry
[TESS]
'S alright
They seem to retreat
The more I advance
[SAM]
I love you
[TESS]
Excuse me?
[SAM]
Forget it
[TESS]
If only they'd give it a chance
And stand up as they should
[SAM]
I certainly would
[TESS]
And say, "I love you!"
[SAM]
I love you!
[TESS, spoken]
That's it, exactly!
(sung)
Competitive men
Resent my success
The others...
[SAM]
Say, Tessie—
[TESS]
Let's see now...
[SAM]
Now listen—
[TESS]
Where was I?
[SAM]
I love you
[TESS]
Oh, yes
My virginal charms
Have faded somewhat
[SAM]
You're wonderful
[TESS]
Listen—
[SAM]
I love you
[TESS]
I guess Marie Osmond I'm not
But enough about me
[SAM, spoken]
Hey, Tessie, how many fingers up?
[TESS, spoken]
Three!
[SAM, spoken]
Right!
(sung)
Now let's check your hearing
[TESS]
What's wrong with my hearing?
[SAM]
I said, "I love you"
[TESS]
What?
[SAM]
I said, "I love you"
[TESS]
I hear you, I hear you!
(Tess and Sam kiss.)
Please say that again
[SAM, spoken]
I love you!
[TESS]
Again, loud and clear
[SAM, spoken]
I! Love! You!
[TESS]
Now that you love me
Isn't it lovely down here?
