Into The Woods - 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, Pa**ionate, 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.
