Live By The Hook - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Feels like there's nothing left
 Am I on my own
 And the road ahead I can't walk alone
 They're all leaving me
 Don't believe in me
 I was foolish, reckless and blind
 I should turn back while there's still time
 You coward!
 ♪
 Oh boo hoo!
 No one wants to play with me and my wife has left me
 Oh woe is me
 Woe is me
 ♪
 Who are you?
 I am your darker side, the one you keep in shadows too far to hide
 Deep in your heart, you can't deny
 All of your fears keeping me alive
 Waiting here for you to arrive
 Don't choose to live by the book
 Let's live by the hook!
 Captain James Hook, at your service
 Playwright James Barrie
 I know
 But I don't understand where you came from?
 Came from you, James, a part of you
 A part of you you don't like to talk about
 A deep part with little cakes and cucumber sandwiches
 Who me?
 Yes, and ever so slightly, more handsome
 You need me
 Your play needs me
 Children like to be scared
 They just don't know it yet
 ♪
 Unleash me!
 I don't know how!
 You have to use your pen for something other than satisfying them
 Let us embark on this journey
 Be sure to write a part for me
 I'll be the wind behind your sails
 I will fight tooth and nail
 ♪
 On Guard!
 You have to look in your heart, in your soul
 You must find a hook, in your heart, in your soul
 And search every nook in your heart, in your soul
 Don't live by the book, in your heart, in your soul
 We live by the hook!
