Love's Labour's Lost the Musical - It's Not a Good Idea lyrics

It's not a good idea To listen to these boys They swear they are in love Then treat our hearts like little toys They send us empty words in rhyme, Why does it get you every time? They made a solemn oath That didn't last a single day So it's not a good idea To put much faith in things they say Cause any love that comes this fast Is a folly that won't last But if they really are in love- But what is love? What does it mean? He thinks he loves a plastic princess, not a partner, not a queen He doesn't notice who he's chasing, he just likes to make the chase He makes these grand elaborate gestures but won't look me in the face He talks and talks so he can cover up his insecurities He is exactly like my dad- Oh no He's exactly like me So It's not a good idea to think its real The words they use to describe The way they think they feel They're just in in love with saying they're in love It's not a good idea [spoken] On wenches arm, love doth approach! But what, come they in the middle of my song? They do, they do, and our apparel thus. Like turtleneck-wearing East German performance artists. And will they so... [sung] Well if that's their big idea, We can beat them at their game They're coming in disguise, Well ladies we can do the same And our lovers will be tasked For when they come we will be masked [spoken] Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine... So shall Verone take me for Rosaline. And change your favours, too, so shall your loves woo contrary, deceived by these removed. But in this changing, what is your intent? My intent is to cross theirs. [sung] And if they ask us to dance We will not move a foot And if they say pretty speeches We will just stay put And if they say they're in love They say an awful lot But words are easy Commitment is not He has to learn to stop his heart from beating He has to learn to stop his blood from heating He has to learn to stop his head from cheating Cause it's not a good idea to trust these boys When they treat our hearts like little toys They're just in love with saying they're in love But if I believe our motto with all of his plause They're dressing up like Germans, They just want our applause But maybe I'm running from my best chance They only want A quick romance We'll show these men that if they want us They can't act like little boys If he would stop with all the dancing And quit making so much noise If he would dress like he was normal And admit that I was right If he would listen for a minute! Maybe this could end tonight Cause it's not a good idea To trust these boys When they treat our hearts Like little toys Cause if they think That love's a game, then Mop for mop, We'll do the same, just Keep your cool, And learn to play your part We are wise girls to mock our lovers so It's a very good idea!
