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.
Both
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!
Rapunzel's Prince
What's an intriguing?
Cinderella's Prince
Of half so fatiguing?
Both
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 everthing maiden's 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
Till 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-
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 steps below
Both
And she's just out of reach.
Agony!
That can cut like a knife!
