Lyrics: I'D ORDER LOVE (from First Date the Musical)

I'D ORDER LOVE- FIRST DATE THE MUSICAL
Waiter:

I've made my career as a waiter

And my job, well, it never gets old

I've seen romances bloom, *while they faced me their doom

Every night some new sight to behold

Yet I find as I wait on my tables

And serve them their baskets of bread

I can't help but think as they pick out a drink

Of what I would order instead

I'd order love, delicious, well-seasoned and rare

I'd order love, a big enough portion to share

Bring me all of the heartache, a small side of woe

That flavor of longing that I long to know

I don't need a menu, just someone to care for my heart

Yes I'd order love, there's no better dish to start

I'd order love, that spicy and steamy and hot

Oh I'd order love, so juicy it just hits the spot (jazz yell)

A great night's full of passion, of drizzled with lust

Breakfast in bed is an absolute must

Then bring on the marriage but don't top it off with divorce

Yes I'd order love, it's the very best second course

I'm tired of always observing, loving couples all dreamy and sweet

For years I've been patiently waiting, when's it gonna be my time to eat?

This lack of attention's unnerving, I fear that I'm losing my grip

If Cupid keeps up this substandard service, I'm screwing him out of his tip

He don't get no tip!

Big finish!

I'd order love, appetizer, main course and dessert

I'd order love, even if it was peppered with hurt

'Cause at least I could savor the way that it feels

To not eat alone for each one of my meals

There's a lot on the menu, I'd have something else if I could

But I'd order love 'cause there's nothing else on earth that tastes so good

Hmmm, it tastes so good

Oh so very good

So good, so good...

After I finally got my hands on First Date the Musical Broadway Cast Recording,  I played it over and over again. Sadly, I couldn't sing along because of the lack of song lyrics on the internet, so I decided to take on the problem within my palms.

First Date the Musical is a one-act musical comedy featuring Zachary Levi (Chuck, Tangled) in his Broadway debut and Krysta Rodriguez (Smash, The Addams Family). With music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner and book by Austin Winsberg, First Date tells the story of Aaron and Casey in their first meeting and the fears they must overcome during their first date.

P.S. I wrote them via listening so this is not very precise. Vague lyrics part are marked with (*). Kindly comment if you have any corrections. Thank you.
