The two writers had based the whole  concept of the musical around the notion that Higgins was far too  intellectual a character to emotionally sing outright, but should  speak his songs on pitch, more as an expression of ideas. However,  both composer and lyricist knew that Higgins would need a love song  towards the end of the story when Eliza has abandoned him. This  presented an obvious problem: how to write an emotional song for an  emotionless character. Lerner suffered bouts of insomnia trying to  write the lyrics. One night, Olson claims, she brought him a cup of  tea to soothe his nerves. As she entered his study, Lerner thanked  her and said "I guess Ive grown accustomed to you...Ive grown  accustomed to your face."

Rogers and Hammerstien felt that Shaws  style of writing intellectual dialog and the emotionless character  of Henry Higgins did not lend themselves to a musical. Lerner and  Lowe overcame these problems by leaving Shaws duologue largely  intact, and working under the notion that Higgins must be played by  a great actor, not a great singer.
