Oh, Cecil Osborne.
Cecil Osborne finally committed, and he's soaking me
for a million bucks, but I don't care,
because he's great with actors.
Cleopatra is your first movie.
And I don't want anything but the best for you, sweetheart.
Yeah?
Nothing, Curtis.
I guess I never thought it would really happen.
You made it happen.
I mean, you are the queen of disco.
Maybe I'm just tired.
Sure.
You got your interviews, and your photoshoot with Vogue,
private meetings by the pool.
When was you going to tell me?
I'm sorry, Curtis.
I know I should have talked to you.
It's just that this part is perfect.
It's exactly the kind of movie I should be making.
Curtis, baby, nobody knows music the way you do.
It's in your blood.
But movies are different.
I'm going to get you.
You know why I chose you to sing lead?
Because your voice has no personality, no depth,
except for what I believe.
See, nobody knows you like I do.
Well, they offered me the part, and I'm taking it.
Re-contract, or you just break.
You can't even take a shit and wipe your own ass on a cessation.
It's OK.
Well, I'll give myself a lawyer.
What do you think they're going to do, huh?
You think them hunkies are going to wait around
while you try to [D#m] drag me into court?
[N] Forget about it.
It's over.
[B] [F#] [G#m]
[D#] Curtis will always be [C#m] here for you.
[B] Listen
[F#] to [G#m] the song here in [D#] my heart, [C#m] a melody I start
but [F#] can't complete.
[B]
[F#] Listen [G#m] to the sound from [D#] deep within.
[C#m] It's only beginning to [F#] find release.
Oh, [D] the time has come [A#] for my dreams to be [Bm] heard.
They will not be [F#m] pushed aside and turned [G] into your own,
all because you [E] won't listen.
[F#] [B]
I am [F#] [G#m] home, [D#m] and [G#m] I'm glad [D#m] you should have known.
[B]
Now I'm blind believing [F#] you.
You don't know [E]
[F#] me.
[D#] I followed the voice [G#m] you [C#m] gave me.
But now I've got mine, my [E] own, [B] and you should have listened.
[F#] [G#m] There is someone [D#] here inside, [E] someone I thought had died
so long ago.
[F#] Oh, [D] I'm free [A#] now, and my dreams will be [Bm] heard.
They will not [F#m] be pushed aside or turned [G] into your own,
all because you [B] won't listen.
[F#] I'm [B]
standing [F#] across roads, I'm on [G#m] my own.
[F#] And I tried [E] to say what's on my [D#m] mind.
You [B] should have known.
Now I'm blind believing [F#] you.
You don't know what I'm.
[E] I'm more than what [F#] you made of me.
[D#] [G#m] You gave [B] to [C#m] me.
But now I've got a [D] [A#] [F#] phone.
[Bm] But I'm [F#m] home [G] if you die, [F#] if you [B] want.
[F#] [G#m] There's a song here [D#] in my [C#m] melody.
I thought, [G#m] but [F#]
I'm free.
[B] Now I'm blind believing [F#] you.
You don't know what I'm feeling.
[E] I'm more than what [F#] you made of me.
[D#] I followed the voice you [G#m] think you [F#] gave.
[C#m] But now I've got to [B] find my own.
