Andrew Lloyd Webber, Alan Campbell, Judy Kuhn - Girl Meets Boy lyrics

Girl meets boy that's a safe beginning

It's nearly closing
I thought you weren't going to show

So did I i felt it might be kinder

What are you saying?

Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know

What?

Every time I see some young kid
Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece
I just want to throw them
On the next train home

Never thought you'd be so condescending

Sorry, Miss Schaefer
I didn't come here to fight

Girl meets boy if that's how you want it
She's a young teacher he's a reporter
It's hate at first sight

It won't sell these days they want glamour
Fabulous heiress meets handsome
Hollywood heel the problem is
She thinks he's a burglar
Would you believe it?
A wedding in the last reel

It doesn't have to be so mindless
You should write from your experience
Give us something really moving
Something true

Who wants true? Who the hell wants moving?
Moving means starving
And true means holes in your shoe

No, you're wrong
They still make good pictures
Stick to your story it's a good story

OK, Miss Schaefer i give it to you

What do you mean?

Just what I said i've given up
Writing myself so you write it

Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own
But I thought we could write it together

I can't i'm all tied up

Couldn't we work evenings? Six
O'clock in the
Morning? I'd come to your place

Look, Betty, it can't be done it's out
Let's keep in touch through Artie
That way if you get stuck
We can at least talk

Write this down
I'll give you some ground rules
Plenty of conflict
But nice guys don't break the law
Girl meets boy she gives herself completely
And though she loves him

She keeps one foot on the floor

No one dies except the best friend
No one ever mentions communists
No one takes a black friend to a restaurant

Very good nothing I can teach you
We could have had fun fighting the studio

Yes, Mr gillis that's just what I want

What a nightmare good to see you
Come to my New Year's party

Last year it got out of hand

Guaranteed bad behavior

See you then

Don't give up you're too good

Thanks
