|
There are people |
|
And they are publishing my book |
|
And there's a party |
|
That they are throwing. |
|
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going, |
|
I will be going. |
|
And that's done. |
|
But what's it really about? |
|
Is it really about a party, Cathy? |
|
Can we please for a minute |
|
Stop blaming and say what you feel? |
|
Is it just that you're disappointed |
|
To be touring again for the summer? |
|
Did you think this would all be much easier |
|
Than it's turned out to be? |
|
Well, then talk to me, Cathy. |
|
Talk to me. |
|
If I didn't believe in you, |
|
We'd never have gotten this far. |
|
If I didn't believe in you |
|
And all of the ten thousand women you are. |
|
If I didn't think you could do |
|
Anything you ever wanted to, |
|
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow, |
|
The fact of the matter is, Cathy, |
|
I wouldn't be standing here now. |
|
If I didn't believe in you, |
|
We wouldn't be having this fight. |
|
If I didn't believe in you, |
|
I'd walk out the door and say, \"Cathy, you're right.\" |
|
But I never could let that go |
|
Knowing the things about you I know-- |
|
Things when I met you four years ago, I knew. |
|
It never took much convincing |
|
To make me believe in you. |
|
Don't we get to be happy, Cathy? |
|
At some point down the line, |
|
Don't we get to relax |
|
Without some new tsuris |
|
To push me yet further from you? |
|
If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy, |
|
Why can't you support mine? |
|
Why do I have to feel |
|
I've committed some felony |
|
Doing what I always swore I would do? |
|
I don't want you to hurt. |
|
I don't want you to sink. |
|
But you know what I think? |
|
I think you'll be fine! |
|
Just hang on and you'll see-- |
|
But don't make me wait 'til you do |
|
To be happy with you-- |
|
Will you listen to me? |
|
No one can give you courage |
|
No one can thicken your skin. |
|
I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy. |
|
I will not lose because you can't win. |
|
If I didn't believe in you, |
|
Then here's where the travelogue ends. |
|
If I didn't believe in you, |
|
I couldn't have stood before all of our friends |
|
And said, \"This is the life I choose-- |
|
This is the thing I can't bear to lose. |
|
Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall.\" |
|
That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy. |
|
If I hadn't believed in you, |
|
I wouldn't have loved you at all. |
|
Now why don't you put your dress on and we'll go, okay? |
|
Cathy? Can we just do that, please? |
|
Please? |
