Ain’t No Goin’ Back
[SIRENS]

[GINGER, spoken]
Under the table, Toffee!

[JONNY]
Toffee, Toffee...

[JOSH, spoken]
C'mon, Jonny. All fours!

[TOFFEE]
Jonny, Jonny...

One moment with you
And I suddenly know
The difference one moment can make

[JONNY]
The rush of the lunchroom
The sirens, the glow
The smell of the... Salisbury steak

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
Magic surrounds us
Don't you see?
This love is destined to be
[KIDS]
It's another day
It's just another day...

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Homecoming dance coming up, Jonny!

[JONNY, spoken]
Oh, I don't know, Toffee. I've never been to a dance before. I wouldn't know how

[TOFFEE, spoken]
And I would? I just want everyone to know you're with me!
(sung)
The days turn to weeks
Still our love doesn't stop
The months turn from summer to fall

[JONNY]
We pour out our hearts
In the notes that we swap
In glances exchanged in the hall

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
Magic surrounds us
Don't you see?
This love is destined to be
[KIDS]
It's another day
Another day...

[TOFFEE, spoken]
And I know we said we wouldn't exchange gifts... but I want you to have this

[JONNY, spoken]
You shouldn't have! Oh, but I'm glad you did. 'Cause I want you to have this! Go on, take it!

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Jonny! It's your no-"H" jacket! Are you asking me to go steady?

[JONNY, spoken]
I'm no good with speeches, Toffee. I grew up an orphan
I didn't have all the things the other kids had, no mom, no dad... no fancy birthday parties with ice cream and cake

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Oh, Jonny...

[JONNY, spoken]
You're the first person who's ever loved me. It would kill me to think this wasn't forever!

[TOFFEE]
Oh, Jonny, of course i'll go steady with you!
I love you, and there's nothing that can ever change that!
[JONNY & TOFFEE]
As boundless as the heavens
Eternal as the soul
As destined as the sunset
When the credits start to roll
As certain as the starlight
When the day has gone to black
Yes, it's said and done
Our souls are one
And there ain't no goin' back
No, no, there ain't no goin' back
There ain't no goin' back!

[KIDS]
It's another day...

[CANDY, spoken]
Oh, gosh, Toff! Couldn't you just die? One more semester and we're out for good! I'm holding on by my fingernails, Toffee! By my fingernails! Wanna see?

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
As boundless as the heavens

[KIDS]
D'ja hear the latest?

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
Eternal as the soul

[KIDS]
Jonny and Toffee!

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
As destined as the sunset

[KIDS]
They're goin' steady!

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
When the credits start to roll

[KIDS]
A couple months now!

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
As certain as the starlight

[KIDS]
Ain't it the greatest?

[JONNY & TOFFEE]
When the day has gone to black
Yes, it's said and done
Our souls are one

[JONNY & TOFFEE, KIDS]
And there ain't no goin' back
No, no, there ain't no goin' back
(Ain't no goin' back, ain't no goin' back!)
There ain't no goin' back
No, no there ain't no goin' back
(Ain't no goin' back, ain't no goin' back!)

[ALL]
There ain't no goin' back!

[TOFFEE'S MOTHER, spoken]
Motorcycles? Leather jackets? Listen to your mother, Toffee, this is not the boy for you

[TOFFEE, spoken]
But, Mother!

[TOFFEE'S MOTHER, spoken]
Break it off clean and it will be like it never happened!

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Daddy!

[TOFFEE'S FATHER & MOTHER, spoken]
No, no, no! This is not up for discussion, pumpkin!
(Oh, you'll get over him, and he'll get over you.)
Mommy and I normally trust your judgement, but we are putting our foot down here!
(His kind always do. You'll be graduating high school soon, Toffee. You'll be starting fresh!)

[TOFFEE, spoken]
But, Daddy!

[MISS STRICT, TOFFEE'S FATHER, TOFFEE'S MOTHER, spoken]
That Jonny Warner is nothing but trouble! He's got juvenile detention center written all over him!
(You are forbidden to see this Jonny Warner boy again! Save the tears, princess. This is one time where it'll do you no good.)
(Motorcycles? Leather jackets? Listen to your mother, Toffee! This is not the boy for you!)

[TOFFEE, spoken]
But he hasn't done anything!

[MISS STRICT, TOFFEE'S FATHER, TOFFEE'S MOTHER, spoken]
It's his type, Toffee! I was in high school myself. I know what a boy like Jonny Warner is capable of
(Besides, dear, you're almost a college girl now! No, no, no. This is not up for discussion!)
(Break it off clean and it will be like it never happened. Oh, you'll get over him, and he'll get over you. His kind always do.)
Break up with him, Toffee! Break up with him, Toffee! Break up with him, Toffee! Break up with him, Toffee!
(Break up with him, Toffee! Break up with him, Toffee! Break up! Break up! Break up!)
(Break up with him! Break up with him! Break up with him! Break up with him! Break up with him, Toffee!)

[JONNY, spoken]
Break up, what are you talking about?

[TOFFEE, spoken]
My parents won't let me see you anymore, Jonny!

[JONNY, spoken]
But you said you loved me!

[TOFFEE, spoken]
I-I do, Jonny, but they --

[JONNY, spoken]
You said we were forever, but I guess that was a lie, you never loved me!

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Jonny, that's not true!

[JONNY, spoken]
You're just like everybody else in my life!

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Don't say that!

[JONNY, spoken]
"There ain't no goin' back," that's what you always said! No goin' back!
How can you?
How can you?

[TOFFEE, spoken]
Jonny? Don't do anything rash!
Please, Jonny, don't do anything rash!
