Without Love
[SEAWEED, spoke]
Psst, Penny what happened?

[PENNY, spoken]
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission

[SEAWEED, spoke]
Well I've come to rescue the fair maiden from her tower

[PENNY, spoken]
Oh Seaweed!

[LINK, spoken]
Tracy! You look beautiful behind bars

[TRACY, spoken]
It must be the low-watt institution lighting

[LINK, spoken]
Tracy, they can keep us from kissin' but they can't stop us from singin'

(sung)
Once I was a selfish fool
Who never understood
I never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, I looked good!
Then we met and you made me
The man I am today
Tracy, I'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
'Cause...

[LINK & ENSEMBLE]
Without love

[LINK]
Life is like the seasons with no summer

[LINK & ENSEMBLE]
Without love

[LINK]
Life is rock 'n' roll without a drummer

Tracy

[LINK & ENSEMBLE]
I'll be yours forever

[LINK]
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
[LINK]
Tracy, never set me free
No, I ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy

[LINK & ENSEMBLE]
No, no, no

[TRACY]
Once I was a simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But I was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may disagree! (Tracy!)
Fame was just a prison
Signing autographs a bore
I didn't have a clue
Till you came banging on my door that

[TRACY & COMPANY]
Without love

[TRACY]
Life is like my dad without his Bromo

[TRACY & COMPANY]
Without love
[TRACY]
Life's like making out with Perry Como!
Darling

[TRACY & COMPANY]
I'll be yours forever

[TRACY]
Cause I never wanna be

[TRACY & COMPANY]
Without love

[TRACY]
So darling throw away the key

[TRACY AND LINK]
I'm yours forever
Throw away the key
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[SEAWEED]
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere ya go
Who'd have thought I'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow

[PENNY]
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now I've tasted chocolate
And I'm never going back

[PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE]
'Cause without love

[SEAWEED]
Life is like a beat that you can't follow

[PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE]
Without love

[PENNY]
Life is Doris Day at the Apollo

[PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE]
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love

[SEAWEED]
So darling, never set me free

[PENNY & SEAWEED]
I'm yours forever
Never set me free

[PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE]
No, no, no!

[LINK]
If you're locked up in this prison, Trace
I don't know what I'll do

[TRACY]
Link, I've got to break out
So that I can get my hands on you

[SEAWEED]
And girl, if I can't touch you
Now I'm gonna lose control

[PENNY]
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul

[SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE]
Sweet freedom is our goal

[LINK]
Trace, I wanna kiss ya!

[TRACY]
Then I can't wait for parole!

[ALL]
'Cause without love

[SEAWEED]
Life is like a prom that won't invite us

[ALL]
Without love

[LINK]
Life's getting my big break and laryngitis

[ALL]
Without love

[PENNY]
Life's a '45' when you can't buy it

[ALL]
Without love

[TRACY]
Life is like my mother on a diet

[ALL]
Like a week that's only Mondays
Only ice cream never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "do not enter!"
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love

[PENNY & LINK]
Yes now you've captured me

[ENSEMBLE]
Without love

[SEAWEED & TRACY]
I surrender happily

[ENSEMBLE]
Without love

[PENNY]
Oh Seaweed

[ALL]
Never set me free

[PENNY & SEAWEED]
No, no, no

[TRACY & LINK]
No, I ain't lyin'

[PENNY & SEAWEED]
Never set me free

No, no, no
No, I don't wanna live without

[PENNY]
Love, love, love

[LINK]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[ALL]
Darling, you had best believe me
Never leave me without love!
