Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
His skin was pale and his eye was odd
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
Who never thereafter were heard of again
He trod a path that few have trod
Did Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

He kept a shop in London Town
Of fancy clients and good renown
And what if none of their souls were saved?
They went to their maker impeccably shaved
By Sweeney

And when I tell you that I loved you most of all
I wonder if its true
Seems every time my heart was headed for a fall
It wonders what to do
I remember, how you would look at me
And see what no one else could see

Memory fails as memory pales
Did our love exist?
Or am I rewriting history?

And there are reasons why I know we did not last
And I know they're real

I'd like to be a lion tamer,
Sequins and tights and silk top hats.
I know I could be a lion tamer,
I've always gotten along with cats.

I'd have a whip but never use it,
I'd simply hold it in my hand.

I'd like to be a lion tamer.
If I could be a lion tamer
I would be someone grand.

I couldn't be a ballerina,
I never could stand on my toes.
I couldn't be a Spanish dancer,

Tell me is love still
A popular suggestion,
Or merely an obsolete art?
Forgive me for asking
This simple question;
I'm unfamiliar with his heart,
I am a stranger here myself

Why is it wrong
To murmur, "I adore him!"
When it's shamefully obvious I do?
Does love embarrass him,
Or does it bore him?
I'm only waiting for my cue,
I'm a stranger here myself

I dream of a day
Of a gay warm day

[Curtis, J.T. Early, C.C. White, Wayne]
Steppin to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Wayne]
Steppin to the bad side

[Curtis, J.T. Early, C.C. White]
Gonna take a mean

[Curtis]
Ride

[C.C. White]
Ride

[J.T. Early]
Mean ride

[C.C. White]
The smile I had has gone away

[J.T. Early]
Those that steal gonna pay

[Curtis, J.T. Early, C.C. White, Wayne]
Steppin to the bad side today

Last night, I said goodbye
Now--it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me --holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when
Will I hold you again
Time, in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches
--and you, by the bay

I've been a rock and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around

I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm outta control
How did you get to me

No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could love me like you
