Nothing Bad’s Ever Gonna Happen Again
CRY-BABY:
I'm so happy that I'm cryin'
No, seriously
I'm so happy that I'm cryin'
I've been holding back for years

Now my eyes are leaking justice
Taste the justice in these tears

I'll take your word for it, son

CRY-BABY:
I was angry but that's over
I was lonely, that was then

DUPREE:
That was then

CRY-BABY:
Now I've got myself a feeling
I said I've got myself a feeling that
Nothing bad
Nothing bad's ever gonna happen again
Cause nothing bad
Nothing bad's ever gonna happen again
Well I'm so happy that I'm cryin'
I'm in heaven, I'm in love
Now my life will be exactly like the one I'm dreamin' of
Someday this will be remembered
As the very moment when
Nothing bad
Nothing bad ever, ever happened again
Cause nothing bad
Nothing bad's ever gonna happen again

ALLISON:
Well I'm not quite sure what happened
But things worked out alright
Now I'll be myself forever and forever starts tonight

MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS (SPOKEN):
And yet the errors of my past still sting
(sting)
I mean the whole, 'I killed your parents' thing
('killed your parents' thing)
The scale of my transgression
And the evil that's involved
Pose the problem of forgiveness...
CRY-BABY:
Well, you can call that problem solved!

CRY-BABY (SPOKEN):
And tomorrow
Is not gonna be like yesterday
'Cause I can see the future and I'm tellin' ya
It's gonna turn out perfect for all of us!
