Agony 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/agony-lyrics-into-the-woods.html ] 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-
[BOTH]And she's just out of reach. Agony That can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife.
