What Have We Got to Lose?

Lyrics

[VIVIAN] Let's raise one more glass To the life that we shared To the bond that we broke And the will we prepared And the money we made And the dreams that we dared to— (spoken) God, how did we end up here? [CHARLES, spoken] Remember where we started? 1992, a laundromat near NYU I still had my first apartment [VIVIAN, spoken] I still had my first nose [CHARLES] Why must this be an uphill climb? Must there be rеason for the rhyme? You're nicе, I'm nice—it's dinnertime What have you got to lose? [VIVIAN, spoken] Well... [CHARLES] It might be fun, it might be sweet And it would make my life complete My car is parked across the street What have you got to lose? Haven't you seen romantic movies? Isn't this how they start? Clean the lint out of the dryer Borrow some gain, and lose your heart [VIVIAN, spoken] Poetry major? [CHARLES] (spoken) Law school (sung) What better way to show I care? And I can see you've things to wear Peter Luger, P. J. Clarke—you choose Don't make me be in this movie alone Let's have an adventure like you've never known What do you say? [VIVIAN] What have we got to lose? [CHARLES] Twenty-four months since that first steak Time for a brand new step to take [VIVIAN] You can't afford this [CHARLES] It's a fake What have we got to lose? [VIVIAN, spoken] Charles... [CHARLES, spoken] I'll get you a diamond as soon as I pass the bar [VIVIAN, spoken] I love this one [CHARLES] Upper East Side, a classic six [VIVIAN] I'll settle for a job that sticks [CHARLES] Two girls, one boy, then twins for kicks [VIVIAN, spoken] Are you Amish? [CHARLES] What have we got to lose? [BOTH] Haven't you seen romantic movies? Isn't this how they go? [CHARLES] Work becomes steady And family is ready to grow Made junior partner yesterday When comes the family—Who can say? Trying's the fun part anyway (spoken) We can get a bigger apartment A litter of dogs! (VIVIAN chuckles.) We can finally afford the fertility treatments (sung) What do you say? [BOTH] What have we got to lose? [CHARLES, spoken] You in? [VIVIAN, spoken] I'm in
