Thanks guys, for the missing/wrong lyrics.
Here's Take it Like a Man:
"what is this place?"
"it's called...a department store."
"it's...it's beautiful"
"sshhh"
First a deep breath, take it all in
feel all those halogens warming your skin
Smell how they pump in pure oxygen
See, they care.
"love?"
"scuse me?"
"Love- the fragrance from Chanel"
don't be afraid, you're here with me
you can have anything here that you see.
I'm gonna treat you like royalty, so prepare
Cause something's in the air.
"I think it's love."
"Exactly!"
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be
You think you can't but you can
Think of the guy you want most to be
Here's your chance to make it, so take it like a man
Where do I look?
Boy am I lost
What do I want and how much will it cost?
What kind of line have I finally crossed?
What's that smell?
"Subtext, by Calvin Kline"
Those I don't like; that's kinda neat;
Guys who wear that get beat up on my street.
Still, I've come this far, I can't retreat in my shell
Okay then what the hell?
"I'm with Elle!"
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be
you think you can't but you can
Think of the guy you want most to be
Here's your chance to make it
so take it like a man.
Elle W.:God, I love shopping for guys
Emmett:This is very strange
E.W.:Watching them change right before my eyes
E:"Don't watch me change"
E.W.:Look at you striking a pose
Your confidence grows
You bloom like a rose
E:"It's just clothes"
God, I love shopping for men
E:Okay this is nice
Walk in a 2, then walk out a 10
E:"Is this the price?"
Don't worry, this is my dream
There's someone I'd like you to meet
"whoa..."
E:"I look like Warner."
E.W.:"Yeah"
E:"But it's just me"
That's the best part, the outside is new
But now it reflects what's already in you
Couldn't change that if I wanted to
And I do not
E:"thank you"
E.W.:"no- thank you"
This is no gift, it's payment in kind
Cause you saw behind all the blonde to my mind
Oh we've got to buy this! What, are you blind?
You look hot. Is he not hot?
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be
You think you can;t but you can
Think of the guy you want most to be
E:That guy's not anywhere close to me
E.W.:You could be him if you chose to be
And I'm his greatest fan, Here's your chance to make it
So take it like a man
a man, a man, a man

Courtesy of the rehearsal video on Broadway.com, I got some of the lyrics to "What You Want" that they were mumbling to themselves (and Jerry was speaking/indicating to them), and they come out in my ears as:
"An essay's so boring, and so much does not fit,
So we're appearing live right here, making clear you must admit that
Elle (That's me!) Woods..."
and that's all I got.
I could tell from the lyrics alone that the guy at Harvard who's witnessing all this is going to be weirded out big time. I say that is PURE COMEDY as it was meant to be shown to the audience.
Serious
Warner
We both know why we're here
I see it in your eyes
I guess it calms my fear
To know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you
Looking like a dream come true
Would leave me speechless like you always do
But now we're wide awake
We've got some plans to make
Let's take some action baby
So baby give me your hand
I've got some dreams to make true
I've got the future all planned
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious
With you
Elle
I never thought that I-
Warner
Elle, honey, I'm not finished.
Warner
Since I was two or three
(Elle - MMmmm)
My life was planned out neat(?)
I'd get my law degree
(Elle - Yeah)
And then win my Senate seat
(Elle - Mmm)
A big white house ??
All of the amenities
Three kids at least
Warner and Elle
Just like the Kennedys
Warner
Here's where our lives begin
Elle
Our lives begin
Warner
But just where do you fit in?
Elle
Fit me in!
Warner
I'll break it down now, baby
(Elle - Whooa-oh-oh)
So baby give me your hand
Elle
Here's my hand, here's my hand!
Warner
I've got some dreams to make true
Elle
We both have dreams to make true
Warner
I know that you understand
Elle
Oh yes, I understand
Warner and Elle
It's time to get serious.
Time to get serious!
Warner
Serious
Gotta wake up and take that journey
Serious
I'm telling you ??? be your attorney
You want the moon and sky
Then take it, don't be shy
Baby, it's time you and I
Should break up!
Elle
Yes, baby, I'll give you my hand, we both - WHAT?!
:insert dialogue:
Warner (spoken)
I'm gonna need somebody...
Warner
Serious
Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious
Somebody classy and not too tacky
Elle
What?!
Warner
OK that came out wrong
Baby, let's both be strong
I mean, we've known all alonggg
Elle (spoken)
Just SHUT UP!
What does that mean, I'm not serious?
But I'm seriously in love with you.
Warner
Baby, my future's all planned.
I've got some dreams to make true.
I thought that you'd understand.
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious
Check please.

Well, it's official opening is at the end of April, like WEDDING SINGER, so it should come out in late May/early June (like the Wedding Singer's recording). It won't be late April, most shows don't record until it's opening (with the exception of the Chorus Line revival).
