about

While drunkenly rehearsing a production of Noel Coward’s Private Lives, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton sing through an old favorite of theirs, tenderly trading insults and compliments until the wee hours of the morning.

lyrics

Let’s play a new game dear, it’s called love and hate
One sobers you up and one intoxicates
We’ve soldiered through both, often in the same day
Shall I start it off or should you?

Take me to heaven, fall under my spell
Soon you’ll wake up again, then back to Hell
I’m damned to be yours and you’re doomed to be mine
So let’s just get remarried and divorced one more time

Well this was once love but it curdled to hate
Then back into love, how can that be explained?
And if down the road it turns back into hate
We’ll know enough to see it through

Oh what a way to have spent all these years
Romance and ecstasy, heartbreak and tears
And I could’ve gone down as one of the greats
Instead I’m consumed by our love and our hate

Well what’s it tonight dear, is it love or hate?
Shall we dine on fine china, or break every plate?
I’ll come for the love, and I’ll stay for the hate
As long as you feel it too

I hate your temper but I love our fights
I love when you’re wrong and I hate when you’re right
I hate every slap and each smack to the jaw
But I love how we’re stared at with judgment and awe

I hate all your lectures, I hate our goodbyes
But I love your wittiness, love your sad eyes
I hate your new girlfriend, well now your new wife
I hate to say you’re the great love of my life

I love the curious way that you think
But I hate the way it turns off when you drink
I hate your shamelessness, I hate your fits
But I love your talent and I love your tits

I love the time that we spend on a set
But I hate your mansion, it’s too full of pets
I hate that I must now get home to my wife
As I can’t deny you’re the great love of my life

Put us in the madhouse and lock all the gates
As long as I’m with you, I’m surely insane
Til we see the difference between love and hate
And I don’t see it happening soon

Though I may deny it’s true
I know that I’d die without you
