Without Love
Hairspray [Motion Picture Cast] Lyrics

Once I was a selfish fool
I used to be selfish and never cared about others.

Who never understood
I didn't understand the importance of love and its impact on life.

I never looked inside myself
I never introspected and examined my own thoughts and emotions.

Though on the outside, I looked good!
Despite my flaws, I appeared good and charming on the exterior.

Then we met and you made me
My life changed when I met you.

The man I am today
You helped me become a better person and improved my identity.

Tracy, I'm in love with you
I love you, Tracy.

No matter what you weigh
Your weight doesn't matter to me as I'll remain in love with you, regardless of your physical appearance.

Without love
Life can be dull and incomplete without love.

Life is like the seasons with
Life can be like seasons without love, where you might not experience the joy and excitement of summer.

No summer
Without love, there's no warmth and sunlight of summer in life.

Life is rock 'n' roll without
Life can be like rock 'n' roll without its main element.

A drummer
Without love, life can be incomplete, like rock 'n' roll's music without a drummer.

Tracy, I'll be yours forever
I'll forever be yours, Tracy.

'Cause I never wanna be
I don't want to be anything besides yours.

Tracy, never set me free
Please don't let me go ever, Tracy.

No, I ain't lyin'
This is the truth, I am not lying.

Once I was a simple girl
I used to be an ordinary girl.

Then stardom came to me
I became famous and a star.

But I was still a nothing
Despite my success, in my eyes, I was just an ordinary person.

Though a thousand fans may disagree!
My fans might have a different opinion about me.

Fame was just a prison
Being famous felt like being in prison.

Signing autographs a bore
Signing autographs felt tedious and dull.

I didn't have a clue
I had no idea about love and its importance.

Till you came banging on my door
My perspective on love changed when you knocked on my door.

So darling throw away the key
Don't give me freedom, keep me locked in love, darling.

Cause I never wanna be
Being in your love, I don't want to be anything else.

I'm yours forever
I belong to you forever.

Living in the ghetto
My life before you was a struggle.

Black is everywhere ya go
Everywhere, it was black, dull, and lifeless.

Who'd have thought I'd love a girl
I never would have thought I'd fall in love with a girl.

With skin as white as winter's snow
Especially with your beautiful, white skin, which is distinctive against the blackness that surrounds us.

In my ivory tower
I used to not understand the real world, living in an imaginary fantasy world.

Life was just a hostess snack
My life was mundane and monotonous, and everything was just like a hostess snack.

But now I've tasted chocolate
Thanks to love, I've tasted the good life now.

And I'm never going back
I will never go back to that boring, mundane life without love.

Life is like a beat that you can't follow
Life without love is like a musical beat that feels oddly confusing, and you can't keep up with it.

Life's like making out to Perry Como!
Life without love is like enjoying music but without the excitement of truly experiencing it.

So darling, never set me free
Don't let me go, darling, let's be together forever.

I'm yours forever
I belong to you completely forever.

If you're locked up in this prison, Trace,
If you're trapped in this world, Tracy.

I don't know what I'll do
I can't overstate my love for you enough, Tracy.

Link, I've got to break out
I must break out of this confinement for us to be together.

So that I can get my hands on you
So that I can embrace you and be with you.

And girl, if I can't touch you
If I can't touch you, I'll feel as if my soul is incomplete.

Now I'm gonna lose control
I'll lose my self-control, and it'll be impossible to contain the love I have inside.

Sweet freedom is our goal
Our goal is to enjoy the freedom of love.

Trace, I wanna kiss ya!
I want to kiss you, Tracy!

Then I can't wait for parole!
After that, I won't wait for permission to enjoy love.

Life is like a prom that won't invite us
Life without love is like attending a prom without an invitation.

Life's getting my big break and laryngitis
Life feels as if you're getting a big break, only to be disappointed with an ailment like laryngitis.

Life's a '45' when you can't buy it
Life can be as disappointing as finding a record that you always wanted to buy but unable to.

Life is like my mother on a diet
Life without love can be as disappointing as your mother being on a diet all the time.

Like a week that's only Mondays
Life without love feels as if every day is like a typical Monday.

Only ice cream never sundaes
Life without love feels as if you only have the unsatisfying core of ice cream, never the richness that a sundae offers.

Like a circle with no center
Life without love feels like a circle without any core essence or focus.

Like a door marked 'do not enter!'
Life without love seems like a doorway to a dark place with a sign, 'Do not enter.'

Yes, now you've captured me
I am captured in your love, Penny, and I cannot be away from you.

I surrender happily
I am surrendering to love, and it makes me happy.

Oh Seaweed
Oh, Seaweed!

Never set me free
Please don't set me free, and let's be together forever.

No, no, no
Never, never, never let me go.

No, I don't wanna live without
I don't want to live without love.

Love, love, love
Because love is the essence of life.

Darling, you had best believe me,
You must believe me, darling.

Never leave me without love!
Please never leave me without love ever in life.
