Into The Woods Agony I lyrics

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?

Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach.

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
High in her tower,
She sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Agony!
Far more painful than yours,
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.

BOTH
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
What`s as intriguing-

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Or half so fatiguing-

BOTH
As what`s out of reach?

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I`m handsome
And heir to a throne?

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
You are everything maidens could wish for!

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Then why no-?

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Do I know?

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
The girl must be mad!

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
You know nothing of madness
Till you`re climbing her hair
And you see her up there
AS you`re nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

BOTH
Agony!

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Misery!

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Woe!

BOTH
Though it`s different for each.

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Always ten steps behind-

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Always ten feet below-
