Love Ain't It

[Red]
I'm just a girl, arms open wide
Looking for kindness somewhere in your eyes
I'm looking for something I may never find
All I want is love

[Queen of Hearts]
What you want doesn't exist
Love ain't it

[Red]
You say love ain't it
It makes me weak, but how'd I know if I ain't felt it yet?
You say love ain't it
And I wish I could compete with all the grief that you've experienced

[Queen of Hearts]
Love ain't it
And nothing's as sweet as when you defeat all your enemies
I say love ain't it
And fear is more important if we're gonna rule for centuries, oh

[Plebs]
Could it really be her?
They're saying there's no one worse
No one's as mean, mean as the Queen, mean as the Queen
She's been gone for years, but now she's appeared
So hide under your beds, under your beds

[Queen of Hearts]
Alright, here we go

[Plebs and Queen of Hearts]
Be careful of what you do, be careful of what you say (that's right)
Or it'll be off with your head, off with your head (out of my way, pleebs)
Be careful where you go, don't make her upset
Or else, it'll be off with your head (bah, blah, blah, huh)

[Queen of Hearts]
Bags, please

[Plebs]
Yes, your majesty

[Servant]
Name, please

[Queen of Hearts]
You know who we are

[Cinderella]
Bridget?
I didn't expect to see you here

[Queen of Hearts]
Ella
It's your royal highness now

[Cinderella]
Of course, you must be very proud

[Chloe Charming]
Mmm, hi, I'm Chloe Charming
You must be Princess Red of Wonderland
I've always wondered what it's like over there

[Red]
You should come sometime
I'll introduce you to the Jabberwocky

[Chloe Charming]
Fine, what's a Jabberwocky?

[Red]
A monster that eats annoying girls

[Cinderella]
It's okay, baby

[Red and Queen of Hearts]
So, you knew her?
I saw through her
Cinderella and I were classmates (no way)
I spend way too much time in this place, so I had to escape (okay)
The people here might smile, but they're two-faced and too fake
Wait, you went to Auradon Prep?
Nope, wasn't even called that yet

[Chloe Charming and Cinderella]
Wow, that girl was super rude
What's her problem? What's her deal?
Some people act mean at first 'cause they're too afraid to feel
It's survival, it's protection, that's why roses grow their thorns
Come on, whose side are you on?
The only one worse than her is her mom
Look, hon', back in high school, a mean prank was played
And ever since that fateful day she was never quite the same, it's a shame
What happened? Is it okay to ask?
We came to celebrate the future, sweetie
Not dwell on the past

[Queen of Hearts]
Haha, stand aside, the Queen's arrived

Look at them, so innocent
Can't believe they let us in
Watch 'em pay the consequence for being so dang insolent
Can't you smell their cowardice? Soak it up, devour it
Treats are for the weak, let me show you what real power is

Quick, Red, you gotta follow along
One day, you'll be on the throne
Automatic, just how I planned it

[Red]
What about what I want?

[Queen of Hearts]
They're gon' fall like parachutes
They're gon' crawl to me on all fours

[Red]
What did they ever do to you?

[Queen of Hearts]
Red, what are you arguing for?

I don't speak politician, I'm a queen
Your submission's what I need
On your knees, kneel to me
Royalty, you should listen, or you'll wind up in a prison
You'll be living in a dungeon underground

[Queen of Hearts and plebs]
Love ain't it (love)
Let me show you what real true power is (ain't it)
It's when I say you only live (power) if I let you live (oh)
And you should take what I give when I'm giving it
And what I'm giving, love ain't it

Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, na-na-na
Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, oh, na-na (ooh, love ain't it)

[Queen of Hearts]
Look into the mirror, it's our destiny
Rule a million years with you right next to me
Swimming in their tears, won't they taste so sweet?
There's a new dawn in Auradon
I'm gonna take the crown and then put it on
I'm gonna take the crown and do what I want
You're gonna make me proud when you take that throne

[Queen of Hearts and plebs]
Love ain't it (love)
Let me show you what real true power is (ain't it)
It's when I say you only live (power) if I let you live (oh)
And you should take what I give when I'm giving it
And what I'm giving, love ain't it

[Queen of Hearts, Red and plebs]
Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, na-na-na
Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, oh, na-na (love ain't it)

[Queen of Hearts]
Love ain't, mmm
Love ain't it
