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.

Lyrics: IN LOVE WITH YOU (from First Date the Musical)

IN LOVE WITH YOU- FIRST DATE THE MUSICAL

Aaron:

I never knew what love was like until I saw your face

And suddenly I felt a love that time cannot erase

Your eyes so sweet and piercing, your manner kind yet strong

A kind of girl I could love forever, we'd spend the rest of our lives together

And in my life I don't think I've ever...

Been so fuckin' wrong!

You're a bitch with no heart, you're a liar, you are Satan

And I hate the way you snore at night

All your quirks piss me off and I don't think I'm misstatin'

Your compulsive need to always be right

You're bossy and judgemental, kinda tactless, boring too

And I really can't believe I ever fell in love with you

Ohhhhh...

I know that all seems kinda harsh, but thing weren't always bad

In fact I think sometimes we shared the best that I've ever had

Like our roadtrip that one summer or those steamy nights in Spain

You always melted when I would praise you, with my stupid jokes, they would never phase you

But they don't mean shit next to all the ways you drove me so insane

You're a cock-freaking-tease-girl, you never stop your talking

And at times you got a double chin

They may say it's good fun but your racist rants are shocking

And your lips don't need more collagen

All you care about is how much someone makes and what they do

Not a man in his right mind would ever fall in love with you

You always criticized the clothes that I would wear

And found a way of pointing out my thinning hair, really nice

You turned me vegan which I totally despise

And I'm pretty sure you laughed that time I said "let's compromise!"

If you were shot or beaten, ran over by a truck

I guess that I'd be sad but then again... It wouldn't suck

It wouldn't suck!

So goodbye, hit the road, as a girlfriend you are fired

Find some other chums that you can please

Years from now when you're old and you finally expired

Girl I hope that you don't rest in peace

Never met someone so selfish, half the time my balls were blue

After all that I've endured now, you can safely rest assured now

That your ex is up and cured now

Yes I'm so done being in love... In love with you

Ohhhhh we're through... yeah! Yeah!

Ohhhhh we're so done, Alison

Honeybun, it's like over

It was on, now it's gone

And I've regained my composure

So God bless, you're a mess

And that's what you call closure

So done being in love with you!

Lyrics: SAFER (from First Date the Musical)

SAFER- FIRST DATE THE MUSICAL

Casey:

I know that I have issues, I face them I swear

Think I overcome them then turn, they're still there

Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go

But when I try to change there's my past saying no

Maybe it's 'cause of dad, his new kids, his new wife

Or why not just blame mom who's been nuts my whole life

When you've felt so alone since the moment of birth

And you struggled to find your own true sense of worth

When it seems there is no one across this whole earth

To depend upon, you carry on

Just like you always do

'Cause it's safer to rely on you

Oh it's safer to rely on you

Seen a million movies all selling true love

Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of

Caution to the wind, my heart's been on display

Still the end result is it's not gone my way

So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk

At least I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work

When you once unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve

And the ones that you love chose to just turn and leave

Everyday it gets harder to somehow believe

You will survive so you strive

Just to keep up your guard

'Cause it's safer to hold every card

Oh it's safer to hold every card

I feel out of control, I feel safe on the ground

I go building up walls yet I wish to be found

A true contradiction to which I am bound

As I keep on spinning around and around

And I look at the people who've worked it all out

And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt

And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout

Just commit and deal with it

Before your life flies by, don't let your life fly by

But is it safer? Maybe it's safer

If I don't try...
