Without me

"That's it, Duncan!"-Courtney yells out at her boyfriend- "We're through!"

"The hell you breaking up with me for!"-He asks bitterly.

"You are so unreliable!"-she responds- "I can't be with a man who doesn't have a job!"

Duncan grips the phone, his anger boiling within him.

Now go recall

The times I spent with you

When our love was still new

The tenderness of passion still running through.

We thought we could make it after all

After all, bad times always end.

Now go recall

The times we visited the gang

When we rocked out to the band

When we cuddled through the night.

When a horror movie gave you such a fright.

Now go recall

Who you were without me.

Without me! You were just some starving student

Living day by day without a dime!

Without me! All my money to you I lent

For a love I thought would last all time!

Without me, who the hell are you, without me?

Without me…

Duncan punches the wall in their apartment. He had to pack, lest she come with a couple of cops. Courtney had finally graduated from Business School half a year ago, and has since demanded that he get a job. Sadly, no success. His criminal record made sure of that.

Now go recall

The anguish that I went through

All the hard work I did for you.

How many days have I wasted on you?

The sacrifice I did for you isn't small!

Now go recall

Who you were without me.

Without me! You were just a starving student

Penniless from day to day!

Without me! You couldn't eat your three squares

One meal's enough, you'd always say!

Without me! Who the hell are you, without me?

Without me…

Duncan leaves in a huff. He slams the door, carrying his suitcase. His stuck up neighbor smiles at the scene, glad to see the young punk leave. He says to himself- "That nice girl could do so much better."

Without me! You're just some mangy mutt

Begging for a bone!

Without me! The rest of your existence

You will spend it all alone!

Without me, you're nothing without me!

You always were…

Without me…
