Original Broadway Cast of Be More Chill
Upgrade
[BROOKE, spoken]
Isn't the sun on the bleachers tres magnifique?
(sung)
Being here
With you right now
Our future is so clear
Our union is so near
Being here
With you right now
My heartbeat is steady
Oh, Jer-bear I'm ready
So kiss me!
Like now!
Now!
[SQUIP]
Your life was so pitiful before
Now it's time to go all the way and more
You gotta get an upgrade
[JEREMY]
Upgrade
[SQUIP]
Upgrade
You gotta get an upgrade
[JEREMY]
Upgrade
[SQUIP]
Upgrade
Don't worry about the guilt you feel
Just take a breath and seal the deal
[THE SQUIP & BROOKE]
Now!
[THE SQUIP]
You gotta get an upgrade
Gotta get an upgrade
[JAKE]
I was never the sort of guy
To feel all the feels
But since I met you I've been high-key
Tryna change what's in my psyche
Tryna be a better man
And that's for reals
I'm sick of playing the role I'm s'posed to play
Christine, don't you ever feel that way?
[CHRISTINE]
I—
[JAKE]
Never hung with a girl like you before
I don't know if you know it but I am sure
That for me you are an upgrade
[CHRISTINE]
Upgrade
[JAKE]
Upgrade
Let's be each other's upgrade
[CHRISTINE]
Oh, wow
[JAKE]
Upgrade
[CHRISTINE]
Well I am flattered, this is new
Still I'm not sure what I should do
[JAKE]
You gotta take the upgrade
[JAKE & CHRISTINE]
Gotta get an upgrade
[JAKE, spoken]
Hey, you should come over!
I've got a big house and it gets kinda lonely without my parents
[CHRISTINE]
(laughter) Aww
[JAKE, spoken]
Hey, that's funny?
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
I'm sorry, it's just… the poor lonely rich boy routine kinda sounds like—
[JAKE, spoken]
An act. I guess you’d know about that, Juliet
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Wha—
[JAKE, spoken]
When's the last time you tried something new? Not on a stage
(sung)
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
[CHRISTINE]
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
[BROOKE, spoken]
When I'm with Chloe, people always look at her first. But at the mall? You looked at me. It's like, Chloe's my best friend, but sometimes I'm tired of always being her…
[JEREMY, spoken]
Player two...
[BROOKE, spoken]
I just want someone to see me first
(sung)
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
[JENNA ROLAN]
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
[ALL, overlapping]
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am
(in unison)
I'm tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am!
