Poor Baby

Darling—

Yes?

Robert—

What?

I worry

Why?

He's all alone

Hmm

There's no one—

Where?

In his life

Oh

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

David—

Yes?

Robert—

What?

I worry

Why?

It's such a waste

Hmm

There's no one—

Where?

In his life

Oh

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

Robert...

Bobby...

Robert, angel...

Bobby, honey...

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...? (You know)

Face it (No one)

Why her? (Wants you to be happy more than I do)

Better (No one)

No one (But)

Isn't she a little bit, well

You know (You know)

Face it— (No one)

Why these (Wants you to be happy) (Why her?)

Meaningless (I do) (Better) (You know)

Relationships (No one) (No one) (No one)

They can't make you (But isn't she a) (Wants you to be)

Happy (Little bit, well) (Happy more than)

But you know (You know) (I do)

Better (Better) (No one. But) (Face it)

Isn't she a little bit, well—

Dumb?

Tacky?

Vulgar?

Old?

Tall?

Aggressive?

Neurotic?

Where is she from?

And cheap?

Peculiar?

She's tall enough to be your mother

She seems so dead

And gross and

She's very weird

Depressing and

And immature?

Goliath...

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...
