(The next song is the love ballad of the show. Originally it was supposed to be Freud singing to Jung. And that is how the video version is. But I have divided it up into a duet between Jung and Freud in the text - which is how I think it should go in order to demonstrate the mutual feelings of love. This is part of the revision. Please follow along with the text once you play the song.)
MUSIC: SOME SORT OF WEAKNESS
VERSE 1:
SIGMUND

OFF MY SHOULDERS
CARL
IT'S ONLY CUZ I DON'T WANT TO TAKE
SIGMUND
OR MAKE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE
NEVER EVER WANTED TO FAKE HOW I FELT ABOUT YOU
(SPOKEN)
YOU KNOW BABY, THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU WALK THROUGH MY FRONT DOOR WITH THAT LITTLE GIFT IN YOUR HAND,

(END OF SONG)
(Next week will be the final scene and the final song which is called - appropriately enough - A Freudian Slip of the Jung. This has been an interesting process. It is much easier to revise the text of the play than it is the music and lyrics, mainly because I have recorded all the songs and made videos for most of them. So for the time being I am sort of stuck with the way the songs were originally recorded. In this case I realized after the fact that the song should be a duet. So I will have to wait until I actually put the play up again to fix these things. I hope you have enjoyed the process along with me. See you next week for the finale!)
