Into the Woods 07 Lyrics

Cinderella's Prince (CP):
Do I abuse her, or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I pursue 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 (RP):
High in her tower, she sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming
A lighthearted air.. A-a-a-a-a-a-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!
RP:
What's as intriguing--
CP:
Or half so fatiguing--
Both:
As what's out of reach?
CP:
Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate,
Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome,
And heir to the throne?!
RP:
You are everything maidens could wish for.
CP:
The why no?
RP:
Do I know?
CP:
The girl must be mad!
RP:
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 'A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.'
Both: Agony!
CP: Misery!
RP: Woe!
Both: Though it's different for each.
CP: Always ten steps behind--
RP: Always ten feet below--
Both: and she's just out of reach.
Agony, that can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife.
