Without Love Lyrics
SEAWEED
(climbing in Penny's window)
Psst Penny! What happened?!
PENNY (strapped into bed)
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission!
SEAWEED
Well, I'm here to save the fair maiden in her tower.
PENNY
Oh, Seaweed!
LINK (sneaking into jail)
Tracy, you took beautiful behind bars!
TRACY
It must be the low-watt instutionai lighting!
LINK
Oh Tracy, they can keep us from kissing,
but they can't stop us from singing!
LINK
Once i was a selfish fool
Who never understood
I never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, i looked good!
Then we met and you made me
The man i am today
Tracy, i'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
'Cause...
LINK (& ENSEMBLE)
Without love
Life is uke the seasons with
No summer
Without love
Life is rock 'n' roll without
A drummer
Tracy, i'll be yours forever
'Cause 1 never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free
No, i ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy,
No, no, no!!
TRACY
Once i was a simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But i was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may
Disagree
ENSEMBLE
Tracy!!
TRACY
Fame was just a prison
Signing autographs a bore
I didn't have a clue
'Til you came banging on my door
TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
That without love
Life is like my dad without his bromo
Without love
Life is making out with perry como!
Darling, i'll be yours forever
'Cause i never wanna be
Without love
So darling, throw away the key
LINK & TRACY
I'm yours forever
TRACY
Throw away the key
LINK, TRACY& ENSEMBLE
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
SEAWEED
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere ya go
Who'd 've thought i'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow
PENNY
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now i've tasted chocolate
And i'm never going back
PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
'Cause without love
SEAWEED
Life is like a beat that you can't follow
PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Without love
PENNY
Life is doris day at the apollo
PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Darling, i'll be yours forever
'Cause i never wanna be
Without love
SEAWEED
So darling, never set me free
PENNY & SEAWEED
I'm yours forever
Never set me free
PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
No, no, no!
LINK
If you're locked up in this prison, trace
I don't know what i'll do
TRACY
Link, i've got to break out
So that i can get my hands on you
SEAWEED
And girl, if i can't touch you
Now i'm gonna lose control
PENNY
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul
SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Sweet freedom is our goal
LINK
Trace, i wanna kiss ya!
TRACY
Then i can't wait for parole!
(Link & Seaweed break their girls out of their respective prisons
and continue singing... of course)
ALL
'Cause without love
SEAWEED
Life is like a prom that won't invite us
ALL
Without love
LINK
Life's getting my big break and laryngitis
ALL
Without love
PENNY
Life's a '45' when you can't buy it
ALL
Without love
TRACY
Life is like my mother on a diet
ALL
Like a week that's only mondays
Only ice cream never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "do not enter!"
DARLING, I'LL BE YOURS FOREVER
'Cause 1 never wanna be...
Without love
PENNY & LINK
Ys now you've captured me
ENSEMBLE
Without love
SEAWEED & TRACY
I surrender happily
ENSEMBLE
Without love
PENNY
Oh seaweed
ALL
Never set me free
PENNY & SEAWEED
No, no, no
TRACY & LINK
No, i ain't lyin'
PENNY & SEAWEED
Never set me free
ALL
No, no, no
No, i dont wanna live without
PENNY
Love, love, love
LINK
Yeah, yeah, yeah
ALL
Darling, you had best believe me,
Never leave me without love!

TRACY Then i can't wait for parole! its actually LET ME OUT AT THE NEXT TOLE
nikki3023 this is not the same version from the 2007 Hairspray so the lyrics are correct.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I love this song especially when pennys voice changes when she says "now iv tasted chocolate and I'm never going back" Its hilarious! And Zac is super sexy nomatter what he wears =]
this is such a wonderful lively song
The musical was a billion times better...
hairspray the movie was AMAZING but it was a bit of a let down how much they changed it from the broadway one...... but it was still good Ionno
What does "Life's a '45' when you can't buy it" mean? And what is the Perry Como reference about? Any ideas? I love this song though, it's my fave song off the Hairspray soundtrack.
@pt_star a "45" is a record... so the song is saying ... being without love is like a great record that you can't afford.

I don't know about Perry Como. Maybe he was a known bad kisser. lol.
