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
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.
