“Stay and Talk...”

Lyrics

[STARBUCK, spoken] Well, stay and talk C'mon, it's lonely out here Now, what are you so afraid of? [LIZZIE, spoken] You I don't trust you [STARBUCK, spoken] What don't you trust about me? [LIZZIE, spoken] Everything! The way you talk, the way you brag— Why, even your name! [STARBUCK, spoken] What's wrong with my name? [LIZZIE, spoken] It sounds fake! It sounds like you made it up [STARBUCK, spoken] Well, you're darn right, I did make it up You know what name I was born with? Smith, for the love of Mike, Smith? What kind of handle for a fella like me? No, I needed a name with the whole sky in it And the power of a man! Star—buck! Now, that's a name—and it's mine! [LIZZIE, spoken] No, it's not You were born Smith—now that's your name [STARBUCK, spoken] No, you're wrong, Lizzie! The name you choose for yourself is more your own Than the one you're born with! And if I were you Then I'd sure choose another name than Lizzie! [LIZZIE, spoken] Thank you, I'm very pleased with it [STARBUCK, spoken] Oh no, you're not You're not pleased with anything about yourself And I am sure you are not pleased with "Lizzie" [LIZZIE, spoken] I don't ask you to be pleased with it, Starbuck I am [STARBUCK, spoken] What, "Lizzie?" But it don't stand for anything! [LIZZIE, spoken] It stands for me! Me! I'm not the Queen of Sheba I'm not Lady Godiva I'm not Cinderella at the ball [STARBUCK, spoken] Would you like to be? [LIZZIE, spoken] Starbuck, you're ridiculous [STARBUCK, spoken] Now, hold on one little minute Now, I have got the greatest name for you The greatest name! Just listen [STARBUCK] Melisande [LIZZIE, spoken] I don't like it [STARBUCK, spoken] Well, that's 'cause you don't know anything about her But when I tell you who she was— Oh, lady, when I tell you who she was! [LIZZIE, spoken] Who? [STARBUCK, spoken] Why, she was the most beautiful— She was the beautiful wife of King... Hamlet! You ever hear of him? [LIZZIE, spoken] Go on, Starbuck, go on
