Private Practice

(album: The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls: Behind The Musical - 2018)

[Dr. Sharp:]
You know I have a private practice
It isn't very far from here
And while I am a little slammed
If you would like I may be willing
Willing... to give you some time

You see, I think I know your problem
I think you ought to let me help
For if you don't I really fear that your condition will get worse, dear
So much worse, dear
Let me give you my time
Just a little time

Time for us to be alone
On our own and talk
Otherwise, you'll stay right here
Where, let's be clear, you can't even walk

So, as I've said, my private practice
I've noticed you don't care for noise
But what I think you'll really like, my dear
Is that it's very quiet
Oh so quiet
Let me give you my time

Now, you're aware that you're bipolar?

[Emilie:]
Painfully aware...

[Dr. Sharp:]
And you've been medicated?

[Emilie:]
Like a horse

[Dr. Sharp:]
You're witty!
But I suspect there's something more
And though I really shouldn't tell you
There-I've told you
Let me give you my time
Just a little time

It's my responsibility, you see, Emilie
To do what I can
As a psychiatrist I swore an oath, to us both
I'm that kind of man

[Emilie:]
What if he's right?

[Dr. Sharp:]
What if I'm right?

[Emilie:]
But no one told me this before...

[Dr. Sharp:]
Well if your doctors were any good
You wouldn't be here, would you?

[Emilie:]
I know this illness is my curse to wear, my cross to bear
But what if there's more?

[Dr. Sharp:]
What if there's more?

[Emilie:]
What if there's more?

[Dr. Sharp:]
What if there's more?
What if there's more?

Let me help you, Emilie
Let me fix you, Emilie

[Nurse over loudspeaker:]
Dr. Sharp, you're needed upstairs, a patient wants restraining

[Emilie:]
I know what he's doing now
Now I see his little plan
Dr. Sharp is not my friend
He is just another man
