Agony Into The Woods 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 PRINCES]
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
What's as intriguing—
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Or half so fatiguing—
[BOTH PRINCES]
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-ah-ah-ah-ah—"
[BOTH PRINCES]
Agony!
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Misery!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Woe!
[BOTH PRINCES]
Though it's different for each
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Always ten steps behind—
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Always ten feet below—
[BOTH PRINCES]
And she's just out of reach
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife
