Musical/ Broadway Lyrics

Model Behavior- Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown

"Pepa? Pepa? It's me, are you there? Call me!"

"Hi, It's me... again. Candela. Where are you? Just, call me when you get this ok? Ok. 

"Pepa.... Pepa!" 

Pepa 

It's me again why aren't you picking up the phone 

It's like my brain is gonna melt if I don't talk to you 

I got a problem in the shower and I only got a minute 

Cause the problem in the shower is this guy that I've been dating named Malik 

He's whats the word, swarthy, like a desert sheik

And he's been here in my apartment for about a week 

I met him down at cafe sombra, and I know you think I'm overly romantic 

But you wouldn't believe the connection we had like immediately 

I was ready for him to meet my mom 

Like I could feel my heart exploding like some kind of bomb 

Which is ironic because I actually think he literally has some kind of..

Anyway grandpa, happy birthday, say hello to grandma and be sure to thank..

That was him! 

I may be jumping to conclusions, God I hope I am 

He thinks I'm thin and he has shoulders like Jean Claude Van Dame 

Listen call me when you hear this I'll be here for half and hour 

Call me back! 

Pepa, are you there? Are you there? 

Are you... Okay you're not there but we need to talk 

My stomach's aching like I swallowed some enormous rock

I'm at the phone booth on the corner and I only got a minute 

Cause I'm running out of change, cause I've been lending all my money to Malik 

God knows with men I'm not exactly on a lucky streak 

But this one really is a mess I think I'm gonna freak 

I know you say I'm an alarmist, but I'm not remember there's that time I thought I saw a spider 

But you said "Nah it's a raisin" 

But it suddenly started moving and it crawled over and bit me on my toe 

So if you're gonna stand and judge me that's how much you know 

It's a good thing I didn't eat it, but I never would have eat it 

Cause I never did like raisins so why would there be a raisin on the floor 

So when you hear this call me back I'll wait a little more 

I'll be at 773- Damn they scratched out the number.... and misspelled vagina 

Alright I'm hanging up, I'll call you back 

Pepa 

Okay I'm trying you again it's afternoon 

It's like my eyes are gonna pop if I don't get you soon

I'm at the studio, which sucks because I'm having trouble working 

Cause the only think I think about's this crazy situation with Malik 

I don't know what I'm gonna do if you and I don't speak 

I know you think I'm just a drama queen but actually I'm practical 

And damn it I'm a model so of course I feel things deeper than most people typically do 

And anyway I think my life might be in danger too 

You won't believe what he's got hidden in the... 

Fernando's working here, he's lost a lot of weight though 

And he got that thing removed he just looks...

Pepa, Marcos, he says hello 

And now he's telling me we're shooting so I got to go 

It's some big deal ad campaign I don't know what it's for 

They got me posing with a melon and a matador... Some kind of metaphor 

Call me back!

Pepa it's 8, I don't know why you're treating me like this 

Pepa it's almost 10 o'clock, you really are a terrible friend 

Pepa, I'm sorry I've never felt so frightened and alone 

I'm like a helpless little kitten up a...

Hey I'm on the fucking phone 

Please call me back

Pepa, it's midnight are you screening 

It's 3 am, you have to call me 

I'd never do this to you, what kind of a friend...

What was the name of that cheese I liked

Pepa, Pepa sweetheart listen I need to tell you-- Tape full, end of messages

Pepa okay now even your machine's ignoring me

Listen Pepa I know you think I'm needy but you've got to see

I'm feeling kinda woozy, I've been crying for an hour

And my boyfriend has and ooze and he doesn't clean the shower

And I don't know where you are

I don't know where I am

I'm halfway up a tree and completely in a jam

I'm out here in a desert and nobody gives a damn

Pepa

Pepa

Pepa

Call me back
