Song by Will Chase, Rachel Stern, Caren Lyn Manuel, Emily Sallow<br /><br>

Rob:<br>

Oh God how did it come to this?<br>

Oh Laura, Laura what did I miss?<br>

Did you really just walk out the door?<br>

Can it be that you don't love me anymore?<br>

Bet you think I"m gona panic<br>

Get all sad and weird and manic<br>

But if you want to see me suffer more<br>

Then you should have got to me before<br>

Oh Laura, Laura... I pity you.<br>

Cause I've had a life of heartache you can never live up to!<br>

<br>

My Desert Island All-Time Top 5 Breakups--in chronologicals order: Number one-Allison Ashworth! Two-Penny Hardwick!<br>

Three-Charlie Nicholson! Four-Sarah Kendrew! And number five-Jackie Allen!<br>

<br>

Do you notice anything in particular about the list, Laura?<br>

<br>

Exes: <br>

Yeah, do you?<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

These are the ones that tore my heart out<br>

These are the ones that ate me alive<br>

You might squeeze into the top ten, Laura<br>

<br>

Exes:<br>

But you're nowhere near the top five!<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

These are the girls who got in early<br>

Scarred me for life, I have no doubt:<br>

<br>

All:<br>

But you're too late now<br>

You don't rate that<br>

Kind of hurt, that kind of clout.<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

Oh Laura, Laura, you'll be missed.<br>

But sweet sweet Laura...you<br>

Don't even make the list!<br>

<br>

Exes:<br>

This is nothing personal, please<br>

Don't kick yourself or wonder why<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

The simple fact is that we're too old Laura<br>

To really make each other cry.<br>

<br>

All:<br>

Those days are gone and I'm thankful<br>

We can skip the drama and the pain<br>

Here, take my car, there's a tankful<br>

I won't lose myself or go insane!<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

Oh Laura, Laura, has your love died?<br>

Cause if you leave me Laura<br>

I...can smoke inside!<br>

<br>

Cause losing you is like having no cash,<br>

It's like having a cold in the middle of summer.<br>

Losing you is a sold-out movie:<br>

No big deal, just kind of a bummer.<br>

<br>

All:<br>

It's a pizza dream,<br>

An ice cream headache<br>

That you know will soon be gone.<br>

Five minutes of pain,<br>

then you move on...<br>

You move on!<br>

<br>

Alison:<br>

Cause you know, you're not really offering--<br>

<br>

Alison & Sarah:<br>

him anything new here.<br>

<br>

Alison, Sarah & Penny:<br>

If you wanna force your way<br>

<br>

Alison, Sarah, Penny & Jackie:<br>

onto the list, Laura,<br>

<br>

Exes: (add Charlie)<br>

You'll have to do a lot better than this!<br>

<br>

All:<br>

So bye bye Laura<br>

Nice try Laura<br>

You came far Laura,<br>

Close but no cigar!<br>

<br>

Rob: <br>

You can't shame me like Alison!<br>

Betray me like Penny!<br>

Or disrupt my life like Jackie!<br>

Or crush me like Charlie!<br>

And I'm stronger than when Sarah left!<br>

Gloomy, sure, but not bereft!<br>

<br>

All:<br>

And though I see a trend here<br>

I am nowhere near the end here!<br>

<br>

You do not represent <br>

My last best change<br>

At a meaningful relationship<br>

And let me give you one last tip!<br>

<br>

Laura:<br>

Hey, I forgot my toiletry bag.<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

Laura, listen, we're just being stupid. Let's just order in tonight and sort this out.<br>

<br>

Laura:<br>

...Goodbye, Rob. Take care of yourself.<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

My Desert Island All-Time<br>

Top 5 Breakups.<br>

My five-star humiliations,<br>

Soul quaking shake-ups.<br>

Oh Laura, Laura, you'll be missed.<br>

But sweet sweet Laura, you,<br>

<br>

All:<br>

You, you, you, you!<br>

<br>

Rob:<br>

...don't even make the list.<br>

<br>
