Sunset Boulevard : 1994 Cast Recording soundtrack – The Phone Call lyrics

Norma
Hello, is this Gladstone 9281? Miss Schaeffer?
...Hello, Miss Schaeffer, you must forgive me for calling so late, But I really feel it's my duty. It's about Mr. Gillis...
You do know a Mr. Gillis?
Well, exactly how much do you know about him?
Do you know where he lives? Do you know what he lives on?
I want to spare you a lot of sadness.
I don't know what he's told you
But I can guarantee you he doesn't live with mother
Or what you'd call a roommate,
He's just a...I can't say it.
Poor Betty, you ask him, I'd love to hear his answer....Joe
Joe
That's right, Betty, why don't you ask me?
Norma
Don't
Joe
...Or better yet, come over and see for yourself.
Yes, right now.
The address is ten thousand eighty-six, Sunset Boulevard
Norma
Don't hate me, Joe, I did it because I need you.
Look at me. Look at my hands. Look at my face.
Look under my eyes.
How can I go back to work if I'm wasting away?
No! Don't stand there hating me, Joe,
Shout at me, strike me, but say you don't hate me...Joe, Joe.
