Buffy:
Life's a show
And we all play a part
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts

It's all right if some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

where there's life, there's hope
every day's a gift
wishes can come true
whistle while you work
so hard all day

To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
Don't give me songs

Giles: (parlando)
She needs back-up.
Anya. Tara.

Buffy:
Don't give me songs

Give me something to sing about
I need something to sing about

Life's a song you don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse

Still my friends
Don't know why I ignore
The millions things or more
I should be dancing for

all the joy life sends
family and friends
all the twists and bends
knowing that it ends
well that depends

On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt

Till they pulled me out
Of heaven

So that's my refrain
I live in hell

Cause I've been expelled
from heaven

I think I was in heaven

So give me something to sing about

Please give me something...

Spike:
Life's not a song

Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living

It's living

You'll get along
The pain that you feel

It only can heal
By living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living...

Dawn: (parlando)
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
