Full draft of LYRICS FOR "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU" as of July 31, 2008
VERSE ONE
LOUISE
Hey, Crystal! I need to talk to you.
I did all those stupid little things that you told me to do.
But the mid-term exams and October are gone, but my loneliness goes on and on.
I've gotta say, I'm not impressed with the fortune that you gave me.
Change the batteries on that ball and send a boyfriend here to save me.
I want a boyfriend!
You said I'd have a boyfriend!
So where's my boyfriend?
I want a boyfriend!
What a rip off! You're a gyp.
Oh, Crys-tal, thanks a lot--for NO-THING!
VERSE TWO
SHIRLEY
(Spoken)
Hey, Crystal! I need to talk to you!
(Singing)
That for-tune that you told...
To me was such a pret-ty dream!
Sud-den-ly it seemed
My fu-ture was per-fect!
When I caught that bou-quet, the o-ther day,
I heard my own wed-ding bells.
But just last night Steve and me, we had a fight
Why didn't you fore-tell
That we would break up?
We're never gonna make up!
I didn't want to break up.
Why did you fake it up?
B SECTION, a contrasting passage
DENNY
(Interrupting Shirley--in C Major)
Hey, Crystal! I need to talk to you!
I searched Google last night, so I know what to do
Roger Stillwell's so bad, we gotta curse him well
And make double sure that he'll go to hell
You'll need something of his to make the magic work,
So I've brought his class ring--that ugly jerk
Is gonna pay, gonna pay! It's my lucky day.
He's gonna pay, gonna pay. Make him go away.
And I've gotta say, Crystal, you're a real friend;
I'd do anything to make this pain end.
Thank you...
VERSE THREE
BETHANY
(Nervously)
Hey, Crystal! Could I talk to you for a minute?
Thanks a lot for your help. I want to help my dad,
But I'm not too sure how to begin it.
Every day after school I've been driving around
I must have gone to every company in the whole town.
Now the accompaniment changes back to a rock feel
But I can't find a job for Daddy anywhere!
So now I'm not sure how best to prepare
To save my family from poverty
They don't know it will happen,
So it's up to me.
So Crystal tell me what to do
I know I can depend on you--
So before his job is through--
Just tell me what to do--Can you tell me what to do?--You've gotta tell me what to do--Oh Crystal
Tell me tell me tell me tell me. . .
(Fading out)
MIDDLE SECTION led to by a rhythmic modulation
STUDENTS
We met a real live mys-ti-cal Gyp sy, Mad-ame Crys-tal
And from her lips came all of our se-crets, crack! like a pis-tol.
Well she knew ev ry one of our prob lems, and she knew ex act ly what we should do
Yeah, we list en'd to that Gyp--sy and we be- lieved her!
When Crys-tal looks deep in-to her big crys-tal ball--,
She sees the past and pres-ent and that's not all!
The mo-vies told us all a-bout Gyp-sies,
Well now we know that all the sto-ries were true!
Yeah, we list-en'd to that Gyp--sy, and we be-liev'd her! And she de-ceived us!
Yeah, we be-liev'd her, and she de-ceived us! Yeah, we be-liev'd her, and she de-ceived us!
ANOTHER GROUP OF CHORISTERS--another layer added to the last two lines as they repeat
So don't be-lieve the gyp-sy wo-man when she
Tells you that she is gon-na help you.
You know you just can't trust the Gyp-sies--
They'll take your stuff and
Not a word they tell you is true.
Rhythmic modulation back to tempo 1; coda music based on verse 1, abbreviated.
