Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Watch the petals fall

Desperate as you crawl

On your knees, to me

It's your final page

Fairytale complete

You see in this world, we're merely players, but the truth is

I'm the beauty, you're the beast

Ever just the same

Ever a surprise

I've seen this before

Falling at my door

Desperate for your prize

You thought we're a match

Sweetheart, I am far smarter than that

There is no one living that can challenge me

You're unworthy

And that, love, is a fact

What a genius plan

Truly, did you think this through?

Trap the smartest girl in all the land?

Let you all believe I would go quietly

While I sat and planned my hand

I have not spent my life reading books, my hours studying

To be some desperate prince's lonely wife

Wanna lock me away? Well, by all means, have your fun with that

But I will be the author of my life

So to hell with your flower, you're all idiots for thinking

That you'd really make it out of this alive (Make it out alive)

You are nothing but a monster to me

(Tune as old as song)

Less than nothing, you're not worth my pity

(Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change)

Not even one of you

(Learning you were wrong)

Is a rival to what I can do

Underestimated all this time

(Rising in the east)

Don't you get it, this is my design

(Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme)

I've made all my moves

Seconds from the truth

Beauty and the

(Beauty and the)

Beauty and the Beast

(Beauty and the Beast)
