Number 5 With a Bullet Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of High Fidelity

High Fidelity (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2007

[LAURA]
I was feeling bad for you
'Cause I left you with a broken heart
But now you've really pissed me off
And you know that that's not smart

Did you think you were gonna get off scot-free?
Don't you know there's no getting over me?
Mmm

You think this break-up won't affect you
If you just refuse to let it?
And there's no need to sweat it?
Well, I've come to claim my spot
And I'm not leaving 'til I get it!

I will be
Number five with a bullet
You'll never get rid of me
Sleep and your peace of mind
They're a memory, yeah

Number five with a bullet
Climbing up the charts
Number five with a bullet

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
To your heart

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
To your heart
To your heart

You met and it was wonderful
No drama and no pain
She was smart and sexy sweet and hot–

[LAURA]
—And not insane
You were the handsome DJ
I worked for Legal Aid
We really clicked together

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Oh yeah, you really had it made

[LAURA]
But you always had one foot out the door
Didn't you?
Just in case there might be something more

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
And now she's gone
Moved up, moved on
Left you in the dust
Left you filled with longing
And a thick and aching lust

[LAURA]
Well, you can block the truth out for a while
If you will yourself

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
But when you think of me with another guy (Ooh)

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Don't you wanna kill yourself?

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Bum bum bum

[LAURA]
I will be

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five with a bullet

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Like a tape that's on rewind (Ooh)

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Playing in your head
Messin' with your mind

[LAURA]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will be

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five with a bullet
A sharp and throbbing pain

[LAURA]
Lodged there like a bullet

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
In your brain

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
In your brain
In your brain
In your brain

[LAURA]
You're on a cycle that never ceases
You get dumped and fall to pieces
You were hoping for a reversal
But that pain was just a dress rehearsal

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Number five with a bullet
See your memory's a blur

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
And that list don't mean nothing (Ooh)
Without me (Without her), yeah

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
With a bullet (With a bullet)

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Climbing up the chart

[LAURA]
Number five with a bullet

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS, EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
To your heart
Number five with a bullet
To your heart
Number five with a bullet
To your heart
Number five with a bullet

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
To your heart!

[Bollywood dance break with IAN and the EX-GIRLFRIENDS.]

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five with a bullet

[IAN]
Can you feel my hungry kiss?

[LAURA]
I've made love a thousand times
But nothing can touch this

[IAN]
Touch this!

[LAURA]
Woah!

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five with a bullet

[EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
And she's climbing up the chart

[ROB, spoken]
Stop!
Show me no more!
Congratulations, Laura, you made it!

[LAURA & EX-GIRLFRIENDS]
Number five with a bullet
And that bullet's heading
Straight to your heart!

[LAURA]
Yeah!
