Can't believe no one's mentioned "Without You" from My Fair Lady.
Love the lyrics!

I Don't Ever Want to See You Again" by Alan Jay Lerner and Charles Strouse is about the bitterest, most hurt song I can think of.
It was written for Dance A Little Closer, Lerner's last show and a one performance flop, but the score did get a cast recording that is out of print.
Find it.
It ends, "Not again. Not again. Not again!" Get the idea?

Possibly I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair!!
And, seriously, if you're gonna listen to 'Letting You Go', listen to Philip Quast's at least!

Posted: 10/20/10 at 11:44am"We Do Not Belong Together" from Sunday in the Park With George was the first song that came to mind.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 12:16pmNot from a Broadway show but by a Broadway composer -- Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do?"
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

"Be On Your Own"- NINE
"I'm Not Waiting"-Julia Murney, kinda break-uppy/self liberating

Posted: 10/20/10 at 2:24pmIf they're staying in touch but just not getting married, then "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love" from The Boy From Oz would work.

My vote goes to "I Think I'm Losing My Mind".
And previously asked, what's the intent here? Cheering up or a good old sob fest?
