Songs about men sung by women? Rop

I'm putting together a revue for a group of gals. The premise is they are all singing about the same man. 
 

Need story/breakup songs

Need processing breakup songs

and need girl power (getting over him) songs. 
 

Duets and solos are welcome. Thanks!

Girl Power (Getting over him) - "Get Out and Stay Out" from 9 to 5 The Musical

Some of these lyrics are not Comden & Green's finest hour, but the song is tons of fun and Carol Channing's personality comes through so much on the album.

This is a question for which AI also might be quite useful with the right prompt.

Uh oh —brand new screen name — so gotta ask, has it escaped again?

For some reason the song that first came to mind is the duet A Man from the Alan Menken/David Spencer off-Broadway show, Weird Romance.  A bit obscure but fits what you want perfectly.

There are more obvious choices like I Know Him So Well, Every Day A Little Death...

It’s jukebox now because of Titanique: Tell Him by Celine Dion

Shaina Taub’s “When I’m Your Wife” and “If You Were My Beloved” From As You Like It and Twelfth Night, respectively.

A girl of few words:

There's a fine fine line:

Goodbye to love:

Sam:

Making a good thing better:

You must love me:

I know the truth:

Easy as life:

The greatest performance of my life: 

I just wanna dance:

In his eyes:

Nobody's side:

Another suitcase in another hall:

Big Spender:

The song "A Man" from Weird Romance - super obscure, but it's exactly what you're looking for.

For a story song: "Letterbomb" from American Idiot.

For a processing song: "There's a Fine, Fine Line" from Avenue Q.

For a getting-over-him song: "Anything But Lonely" from Aspects of Love.

Great minds (see my post earlier) ;)

Love the attention Weird Romance is getting in this thread, that song was my first thought too!

"So Long, Dearie" Hello, Dolly

[Scarywarhol]

I'm trying to think of some that don't revolve in some way around romance or heartbreak, and it's kind of unfortunate that there are so few.

But one really lovely song that does not fit that bill that just occured to me is "What Makes Me Love Him?" from THE APPLE TREE. 

 

Edit: lol forgot the thread explicitly asked for breakup/processing songs lol. 

HIGH FIDELITY may actually have some stuff. "She Goes," "Too Tired," I Slept With Someone (Who Handled Kurt Cobain's Intervention)"...
