The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - Words, Words, Words Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
SUKIE (spoken): Well . . . Just picture it:
SUKIE:
Sitting in the corner and . . .
Well . . . Just . . . You know . . .
Sukie tries to talk a little and . . .
Well . . . Just . . . You know . . .
Sukie rises up to speak and she . . .
Almost . . . Oh, pooh . . .
Sukie sits back down politely and . . .
Here's hoping that . . . You know
Cause I don't have a clue.
Oh, words, words, words . . .
I can never find the words, words, words . . .
I can never find the words.
All these words
Inside me now
But not much inner peace.
All these words
Inside me now
Just aching for release.
DARRYL:
And if I said
That I would listen,
Might that ease the doubt?
Yes, if I said,
“I'm here to listen,”
What would you like to talk about?
What would you like to talk about . . . ?
SUKIE (spoken):
Well . . . You don’t want to hear this.
DARRYL (spoken):
Confidence, sukie – confidence.
SUKIE:
I'd like to talk about the night.
I'd like to talk about the day.
I'd like to talk about the weather,
But I guess that's just cliché.
I'd like to talk a little latin.
Maybe talk a little greek.
I'd like to talk about the arts.
I rented “Hamlet” just last week.
I'd like to talk about my poems,
Why I shy away from rhymes.
I'd like to talk about that letter
I had published in the times.
I'd like to talk about euripides
And schopenhauer and bach.
And if there's any doubt remaining,
I'd be happy just to talk . . .
But words, words, words,
I can never find the words, words, words,
Words, words, words, words –
I'd like to talk about the deepest
Sort of secrets that i hold.
I'd like to talk about the underlying truth,
If truth be told.
Talk about the touching
That can bring the tension out.
I'd like to talk about the things
I guess I shouldn't talk about.
I'd like to talk about my feelings
When the lights are turned down low.
I'd like to talk about my needs
Above the covers and below.
I'd like to talk about my fantasies
By light of ev'ning star.
I'd like to talk about a million things . . .
DARRYL:
. . . And sukie, dear, you are.
SUKIE:
But, words, words, words,
Words, words, words, words . . . !
I'd like to talk about the world
I never get to see from home.
I'd like to talk about car acas
And the pleiades and rome.
I'd like to talk about the rise.
I'd like to talk about the fall.
Or maybe talk about the doings
At your basic bacchanal.
Oh, not that I approve,
But when it's all been said and done
I mean, you gotta give 'em this;
The romans sure could have some fun.
And then, of course, you've got the french.
The pakistani and the dutch,
And tell me, darryl, is it me,
Or am I talking way too much?
DARRYL (spoken):
You're doing great, sweetheart . . .
SUKIE:
I'd like to talk about the heroes
That can always give me hope.
I'd like to talk about de berger ac,
And batman and the pope.
Talk about the future,
Maybe talk about the past
Or maybe talk a lot of nothing,
Only say it really fast.
Talk about society
Or talk about the rot,
Or maybe talk about the egrets,
But I'd really rather not.
Talk about the meadows
Or the flowers or the birds.
I mean I'd talk about it all
If I could only find the words . . .
I'd like to talk a bit of this,
Or maybe talk a bit of that,
Or maybe talk a bit of folderol
And chew a little fat.
Talk about the a's.
Or maybe talk about the z's.
And try to make it through the alphabet
As pretty as you please.
Talk about a book.
Or maybe talk about a play.
Or maybe talk about million things
I'll never get to say.
I'd talk about myself
But who would give a damn?
I'd like to talk about a lot of things
And look at me – I am!
I am – !
I am – !
I am – !
I . . . Am!!!
