Into The Woods Stay With Me lyrics

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen
No, no, please
What were you not to do?
Children must see

No
And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen

What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?
Ah but I am old, I am ugly
I embarrass you

No
You are ashamed of me
No
You are ashamed

You don't understand

It was lonely atop that tower
I was not company enough?
I am no longer a child I wish to see the world

Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes but wolves and humans too

Stay at home, I am home
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me, stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child with me
