**No Way** is the second song of SIX the Musical. It is Catherine of Aragon's solo, where she sings about how she has been faithful and loyal to Henry throughout their whole marriage even while he was cheating, and put up with his behavior.

## Lyrics

**[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]**

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way

You must agree that baby

In all the time I've been by your side

I've never lost control

No matter how many times I knew you lied

Have my golden rule

Gotta keep my cool

Yeah, baby

**[ENSEMBLE]**

You know she's gotta keep it cool

**[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]**

And even though you've had your fun

Running around with some pretty young thing

And even though you've had one son

With someone who don't own a wedding ring

No matter what I heard

I didn't say a word

No, baby

**[ENSEMBLE]**

You know she never said a word

**[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]**

I've put up with your sh–

Like every single day

But now it's time to shh

And listen when I say

You must think that I'm crazy

You wanna replace me

Baby, there's no no no no no no no way

If you think for a moment

I'd grant you annulment, just hold up

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way

No way

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way

No way

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way

So you read a Bible verse that I'm cursed

'Cause I was your brother's wife

You say it's a pity 'cause quoting Leviticus

I'll end up kiddy-less all my life

Well daddy weren't you there

When I gave birth to Mary?

(spoken)

Aw, hi baby

**[ENSEMBLE]**

Daughters are so easy to forget

**[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]**

You're just so full of sh–

Must think that I'm naïve

I won't back down, won't shh

And no, I'll never leave

You must think that I'm crazy

You wanna replace me

Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

If you thought it'd be funny

To send me to a nunnery

Honey, there's no way

No way

No way

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way

No way

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way

Hey

(Woo)

(Let's go)

(Woo)

(Here we go)

You've got me down on my knees

Please tell me what you think I've done wrong

Been humble, been loyal

I've tried to swallow my pride all along

If you could just explain a single thing I've done

To cause you pain, I'll go

(spoken)

No?

You've got nothing to say

I'm not going away

There's no way

You must think that I'm crazy

You wanna replace me

Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

You made me your wife

So I'll be queen to the end of my life

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way

No way

N-n-n-n-nope n-nope n-nope no

No way

No way

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way

## Trivia

* This is the first song Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote together for the show.
* *No Way* has gone through the most revisions of all the songs in the show.
* The line "Even though you've had one son with someone who don't own a wedding ring" is actually a reference to Henry's affair with Bessie Blount and his illegitimate son with her.
* In live performances, instead of "Aw, hi baby", Catherine usually says, "Oh, you don't remember?".
* Catherine's repeated use of the term "shh" is used for a few different things. Twice she uses it as if she is going to swear, but cuts herself off, and twice she uses it to tell Henry to "shh", or be quiet.
