[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… A-a-a-a-a-a-a-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 rеach?

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Am I not sensitive, clevеr, 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 "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-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
