The Lyrics

If you were an actor, or singing duets, and someone singing or doing a scene with you keep jumping cues or steals your lines? Frustrating, isn't it? Sometimes, your lines MUST be perfect, especially when you are dealing with action scene and explosives.

This ain't a scene for the absent-minded
No further takes to get the scene restarted
But you just gonna be just a pain in my brow
You will now see my hand... oh for crying out loud

It's my line
Your reply comes after
And we ain't gon' repeat forever
What comes next scares me more, will I survive?

[Showing the script the partner]
(It's my line) "I love you, but you know I can't stay"
You say "Watch out, there's a gun pointing your way"
I just wanna finish up Scene Five
See? It's my line!

I am not one who sit and pout
[But] Unlike Ricky & Christy, we never worked out
[Referring to Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera singing "Nobody Wants to be Lonely"]
The scenes are getting harder, make no mistake
Why this small confusion cost us 18 more takes?

It's my line
Your reply comes after
And we ain't gon' repeat forever
What comes next scares me more, will I survive?

[Showing the script the partner]
(It's my line) "I love you, but you know I can't stay"
You say "Watch out, there's a gun pointing your way"
I just wanna finish up scene five
See? It's my line!

[To the director:] I don't know why she can't handle this line
Can we just skip forward, shoot the action scenes now?

[He accepted, and we moved right on to the action scenes, where I have to fight the bad guy who was pointing the gun at me.]

It's my "line"
And it's now or never
Action scenes are one-take over
I had practiced fights with that stunt guy

Here's my "line":
I knocked the gun out of harm's way [Fine]
But it backfired, it shot at my waist [Not according to the script, a genuine accident]
I'm just glad that I am still alive

It's my line
It is now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
Will you get it right before I die?

[She finally got it right!]
"I love you, but you know I can't stay"
And "Watch out, there's a gun pointing your way"
I left just to see if I'm alright

She got it right [FINALLLY, I fainted]!

Of course the bullets and blood are fake, but it hurts like hell. That said, some actors need to be scared off their brains before they can get the simpler things right.
