[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
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE & RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Agony, oh, the torture they teach
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
What's as intriguing
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Or half so fatiguing
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE & RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
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
'Til 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
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE & RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Agony
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Misery
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Woe
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE & RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Though it's different for each
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Always ten steps behind
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Always ten feet below
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE & RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
And she's just out of reach
Agony that can cut like a knife
I must have her to wife
