Word is on the Street
[Mercutio]
Word is on the street
That you've gone raving mad
And you'll lose every friend
That you have ever had
[Benvolio]
Word is on the street
That your parents are ashamed
The town is filled with men
Whose passions are inflamed
[Mercutio & Benvolio]
The people you love feel betrayed
You laugh and spit in our face
What a mistake your heart has made
There'll be no hiding place
[Mercutio, Benvolio & Romeo]
You've deceived us
To myself I have been true
You have failed us
I've never lied to you
You can't do this
I don't care what people say
This is madness
I could not turn her away
It's your duty
She's all I'm living for
Where's your honour?
I can't listen anymore
You've betrayed us
Believe that if you must
You ignored us
You both fill me with disgust
[Mercutio]
Word is on the street
You can't hope to survive
You haven't got a chance
If you are caught alive
[Benvolio]
Word is on the street
That you will leave for good
Nobody wants to see you
In this neighbourhood
[Mercutio & Benvolio]
To love the enemy's a sin!
Consequences could be grave
Hers is a love you cannot win
Your soul's too late to save
[Mercutio, Benvolio & Romeo]
You've deceived us
To myself I have been true
You have failed us
I have never lied to you
You can't do this
I don't care what people say
This is madness
I could not turn her away
It's your duty
She's all I'm living for
Where's your honour?
I can't listen anymore
You've betrayed us
Believe that if you must
You've ignored us
You both fill me with disgust
You could have a dozen girls
A dozen girls don't interest me
Might as well just cut your throat
Why can't you just let her be?
[Benvolio, spoken]
Romeo, just let her go!
[Romeo]
No, no, no
[Mercutio, spoken]
Well, I'm your friend
Here, use my knife
[Romeo]
One love, one life
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye
Dear friends
[Mercutio, Benvolio & Romeo]
You had no right
My dear friends, look at you
You had no right
Capulets are people too
You had no right
I thought that our bond was strong
You had no right
Now I see I was wrong
You had no right
We've been friends since we were small
You had no right
I've betrayed no one at all
You had no right
Love has turned my world around
You had no right
And now my dreams have left the ground
You had no right
I don't care what you all say
You had no right
I could not turn her away
You had no right
She is all I'm living for
You had no right
I can't listen anymore
You had no right
One life, one love
You had no right
One life, one love
You had no right
One life, one love
You had no right
Without her I'm nothing
You had no right
