Get Out/Go - Stephen Sondheim

Get out of my life!

Get the hell out of my life!

Whatever this race we’re in

Okay, you win

It’s done

And now that you’ve won

Get out of my life!

It used to be fun to watch you scheme

And even be part of it

After the start of it

It used to be fun to stand and beam at my brother

Who was so fucking smart

I thought we could go from scheme to dream

But then I thought we were a team

Amen, no more!

I’ve looked at the score!

You owe me a life

A life of my own

I wanted to glide like you

Before I do

Please leave me alone

Get out of my life

So I can live it!

Just go away…

What if I did?

I’d still be here

(sung)

You don’t want me to go

Come on

You don’t want me to go

You may think yes, you do

Right now, that’s now

But it just isn’t so

Go away, Willie, please

You see only what’s wrong

Not me

I see two of a kind

I see two who are way ahead

Who’ve always read each other’s mind

And this isn’t the end of the trip

No it’s just the reverse

Face it, brother, we’re joined at the hip

And that is our curse

And that is the miracle

You don’t want me to go

Willie!

Admit, you don’t want me to go

Willie, yes I do, dammit!

Though I’m not worth a lot

I’m what you’ve got

Which you’ll never outgrow

We were stuck from hello

It was bound to explode

Don’t you see we’re the same?

That whatever the game

This was already our road

Stop it, Willie, enough!

Come on, Addie, you love me!

Come on, say it out loud!

Come on, Addie, you love me!

You love me!

You always have-

Alright, yes!

I love you!

I always have loved you!

Does that make us even?

Does that make you happy?

And, I want you to go

And, no

I don’t want you to go…

Mr. Mizner, there’s a gentleman to see you…
