Lovesick Lyrics by David Yazbek

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2011

[PEPA]
You think that cupid's got a bow?
Well no, cupid's got a needle
It'll find a vein
Careful, 'cause you'll bleed a little
But pretty soon romance will marinate your brain
Then watch the temp'rature go up
You hardly sleep because your sheets are wet
Toss and turn for hours and your sweat is sweet
Smells like dying flowers
You've got
Pain in your stomach like a long-neglected tooth
Dilated pupils that refuse to see the truth
And that's
You're sick, you're sick
You might not get through it
Your aching heart is racing
And your brain can't catch up to it
That's how you diagnose
An overdose of love
You feel the itching on your skin
Then in
Right down to your skeleton
You seize, you freeze
Knees turn into gelatin
Then you're on them praying
That you'll keep some self-respect
But out of nowhere comes
Another side-effect
Like when you see his face
You feel it in your eyes
They start to water like the
Place between your thighs
Whenever he gets close
That's an overdose of love
You're sick of what you're saying
You're sick of what you're thinking
You'd have another drink
Except you're sick of what you're drinking
While sitting there alone
Longing for his touch
A little is elixir
But too much is much too much
You're burning up
The spark that started it became a raging fire
The cobwebs in your head turned into razor wire
It's like a puzzle that you'll never get the trick of
The trick is you admitting you're sick of what you're sick of
[PEPA & NURSES]
You feel it on your tongue
You feel it in your lips
[PEPA]
You feel it from your fingers to the thing between your hips
You…
[PEPA & NURSES]
Collapse on the floor
[PEPA]
You shudder, you tingle
The paramedic comes
You wonder if he's single
[PEPA & NURSES]
You are sick, sick, sick
You're falling to pieces
And the curse is the cure
Is worse than the disease is
[PEPA]
You're dead, you're toast
You've overdosed on love
You've overdosed on love
You've overdosed on love
Baby, you are
Sick
