Original Broadway Cast of & Juliet
It’s My Life
[Romeo and (Ensemble)]
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud (Romeo!)

It's my life, it's now or never
And I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life, my heart is like an open highway
And I'm just gonna do it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

[Anne Hathaway, spoken]
Well, William, I hope you're very impressed with yourself

[William Shakespeare, spoken]
You know what? I rеally am. Ha ha

[William and (Ensemble)]
This is for the ones who stood their ground
(Romеo, Romeo, Romeo!)
For Romeo and Juliet who never backed down
(Romeo, Romeo, Romeo!)
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
[William and Romeo]
Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks

[Romeo]
It's my life, it's now or never
And I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life, my heart is like an open highway

[William]
Like Frankie said

[Francois]
I did it my way

[Romeo]
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

[Juliet, spoken]
April! I'm engaged! Again!
So much has happened in so little time!

[April, spoken]
So much is happening and whatever happens, I will be here for you, and you will be... fine
[Juliet and (April)]
It's my life, it's now or never
And I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life (my life)
My heart is like an open highway (open highway)
And I'm just gonna do it my way (do it my way)
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(I just wanna live while I'm alive)

[William, spoken]
Go Romeo! You're her only hope. You're back from the dead!

[Romeo, spoken]
I know! It's super dope!

[Anne, spoken]
Ugh

[William and Anne]
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Romeo and Juliet]
It's my life
It's my life
It's now or never
And I ain't gonna live forever
It's my life
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
And I'm just gonna do it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
[(Ensemble)]
[Romeo, spoken]
It's Romeo! Here for art thou, Romeo!
(Alive)

[Juliet, spoken]
Romeo? You're alive?
(Alive)

[Romeo, spoken]
I'm alive. And I came back for my wife!
(Alive)

[Juliet, spoken]
Oh, shit

[Romeo]
It's my life
