You'll Get Over It Lyrics - Rent

YOU'LL GET OVER IT 

MAUREEN 

It's times like these I really appreciate - Mark! Dear, I'm so glad 

you're here! Honey, baby! You've lost some weight...I mean you've 

always looked great. 

MARK 

I try Maureen. 

MAUREEN 

Back when we used to date. 

MARK 

You lie Maureen. 

MAREEN 

Now let's not get irate. 

MARK 

Why Maureen? 

MAUREEN 

Joanne ran for the cable but of course she's late. 

MARK 

I don't know why I even try Maureen. 

MAUREEN 

My samples won't delay, but the cable... 

MARK 

There's another way! Say something, anything! 

MAUREEN 

Test 1-2-1-2-3 

! 

MARK 

Anything but that. Tell me what it's like 

MAUREEN 

What? 

MARK 

With a girl - tell me what it's like for a girl and a girl. 

MAUREEN 

No way! 

MARK 

Tell me - or I walk away. 

MAUREEN 

It's amazing! 

MARK 

Who's on top? Who wears the pants? Who leads when you dance? Give me 

one more chance Maureen! This is just a phase like girls and horses! 

And you never even wore flannel shirts! You'll get over it! 

MAUREEN 

How's it going? 

MARK 

Not good - I'm depressed. 

MAUREEN 

I meant the sampler. 

MARK 

I'm adapting - repatching! 

MAUREEN 

Thank God! You're the best! 

MARK 

Ha! 

MAUREEN 

Don't be depressed! Tell me how you've been! 

MARK 

Why? 

MAUREEN 

Cause I care - tell me how you've been! God time flies! 

MARK 

Don't patronize! 

MAUREEN 

Tell me! We used to be friends! 

MARK 

I'm lonely, bored, and horny!!! 

MAUREEN 

Is there no one new? You need a mate! It's not too late! Have you even 

had one date? 

Boy, you just need some time then you'll be fine Mark! Anyway! I 

treated you like dirt. You'll get over it! Just remember what you 

hate about me! Though it may be hard. 

MARK 

How can you be so content without me? How can you disregard all we 

had? 

MAUREEN 

Dysfunction! 

MARK 

All we said? 

MAUREEN 

I'm over men! 

MARK 

All we did! 

MAUREEN 

I slept around! 

MARK 

And you will again! Tell me what you'll do! 

MAUREEN 

When? 

MARK 

When you're bored! Tell me what you'll do when you tire of girls! 

MAUREEN 

I wont! 

MARK 

I'll tell you - you'll run back to me! 

MAUREEN 

Your fantasy! 

MARK 

You always do! 

MAUREEN 

Don't hold your breath! 

MARK 

I know your kind! Always change your mind! 

MAUREEN 

Don't be so blind! Can't you see? All my life I've known who I was 

meant to be! 

MARK 

But you never even liked KD Lang! 

MAUREEN/MARK 

You'll get over it! 

MARK 

This is just a fad that will fade! You'll get over it! 

MAUREEN 

You just need to get laid! You'll get over it! In time we'll laugh 

about this! You'll get over it! 

MARK 

In time you'll beg for my kiss! 

MAUREEN 

Don't bet on it! 

MARK 

Try it now! 

MAUREEN 

You'll get over it! 

("You'll get over it" echoes) 

Grrr! 

MARK 

I call this cause for hope! 

MAUREEN 

I would call this platonic - don't grope!!! 

(JOANNE enters) 

Honey! You're back! Uh - we're patched.
