Louis Visits Billie On Tour / Love Theme

(album: Lady Sings The Blues - 1972)

Hey, baby! What you doing here?
Here, I've been trying to get you on the phone. Oh, baby. How'd you get here?

Get your clothes off

I like your style, but I can't say much for your timing. Why don't we wait till we get home, get a nice hot bath?

No

Whatever you say. My, my, the man is ready. Well, so am I

We've been having a rough tour. Baby, I'm so happy you're here
Now, this is all I'm gonna do. And I want you to do the rest
Ow! You're hurting me

All right, that's it. Come on, let's go

I know what you're thinking

This tour's over. I'm the one who sent you here, and I'm taking you back home, so get your things, let's go

Wait a minute. I know what you're thinking, baby

I don't wanna hear about it. Just come home

Sure, I've taken a few shots, but only when I needed it, and I'm not hooked, Louis. Wait, baby

Only when you needed it. What do you think hooked is?
All I had to do is listen to your voice on the telephone, and I knew

See? You don't understand
Now, you don't know how it is when people are looking down at you and laughing at you, and think that I'm a loser. And if I go home now, I'll think that I'm one, too
I gotta prove it to 'em, I gotta prove it to myself

What're you proving with that needle? That you're not woman enough to make it without a crutch ... a magic way out when the going gets a little too rough?

I want you to make it, too, baby, but not this way. Not this way

Okay
Okay, I promise you I won't take any more stuff. I promise you. I gotta stay out here. You're gonna let me stay?

No

Come on, come on, Louis, please. I can't go now

I gotta take you home, baby, because I know ...

I ain't going

Hey, Crazy Maurice and Weird Lucille want us to go out there with them. Hey. Hey, lady, what do you have this door locked for? You cool?

I'm fine, Harry

Huh?

Come on in

Well, there he is. How the hell are you?

He's fine

I just dropped by to see if you needed anything ... like a trip back to the hotel or something, but I guess you got it covered, so I'll catch you later, okay?

See you at the hotel

Bye. See you at the hotel

Harry's a good friend

That's what every little girl needs, a good friend like Harry
