## Lyrics

* London

**[ANGELIQUE]**

You think I'm pretty

Without any make-up on

You think I'm funny

When I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me

So I'll let my walls come down, down

Before you met me

I was alright but things were kinda heavy

You brought me to life now every February

You'll be my valentine, valentine

**[LANCE]**

Let's go all the way tonight

No regrets, just love

We can dance until we die

You and I

We'll be young forever

You make me

Feel like I'm living a teenage dream

The way you turn me on

I can't sleep

Let's run away and don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

**[ANGELIQUE]**

[spoken]

Lance, looking back is what brought me to your bed last night, if I look forward I can only think about Juliet's future

**[LANCE]**

[spoken]

Juliet is a big girl by now, she must be at least fourteen

**[ANGELIQUE]**

[spoken]

She's in her twenties

**[LANCE]**

[spoken]

See, there you go!

**[ANGELIQUE]**

[spoken]

And I'm supposed to stay here with you when I don't even know what's going on in your heart?

**[LANCE (AND ANGELIQUE)]**

If you want it, take it

I should've said it before

Tried to hide it, fake it

I can't pretend anymore (Ooh)

I only wanna die alive

Never by the hands of a broken heart

**[ANGELIQUE]**

Don't wanna hear you lie tonight

Now that I've become who I really are

This is the part when I say I don't want you

I'm stronger than I've been before

This is the part when I break free

'Cause I can't resist it no more

**[ANGELIQUE (AND LANCE)]**

This is the part when I say I don't want ya

(You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream)

I'm stronger than I've been before

(The way you turn me on)

This is the part when I break free

(I can't sleep, let's run away and don't ever look back)

'Cause I can't resist it no more

(Don't ever look back)

**[LANCE]**

My heart stops

When you look at me

Just one touch

Now baby I believe

This is real

So take a chance and don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

**[ANGELIQUE]**

Oh, baby!

**[ANGELIQUE AND LANCE]**

This is the part when I say I don't want you

I'm stronger than I've been before

This is the part when I break free

'Cause I can't resist it no more

This is the part when I say I don't want you

I'm stronger than I've been before

This is the part when I break free

**[ANGELIQUE]**

'Cause I can't resist it no more

**[ANGELIQUE]**

You think I'm pretty

Without any make-up on

You think I'm funny

When I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me

So I'll let my walls come down, down

Let's run away and don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

## Trivia

* When Lance says: "Juliet is a big girl by now, she must be at least fourteen." This is a reference to the original play by William Shakespeare; *Romeo & Juliet,* in which Juliet is fourteen years old.
* Furthermore, when Angelique responds with "She's in her twenties." This refers to an earlier conversation in the show between William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway where Anne realises the issues with Juliet's young age in her husband's original age in the play and changes it to an unspecified age saying Juliet is now "in her twenties".
