Lady Capulet
For all its faults
Whatever cynics say
Marriage, my dear
Invigorates each day
How lucky you are
For somebody so young

Juliet
But I'm not in love

Lady Capulet
For once, hold your tongue
He's handsome and rich
He's sent from above
How stupid of Paris
To have picked you to love
'Juliet' and 'Paris'
Your names seem to go so well

Lady Capulet and The Nurse
Time to think of marriage

The Nurse
Listen to your mother

Lady Capulet
My daughter the bride!
Last night I just cried, and cried

Juliet
Wasted tears, mother
I'm not a bride yet!

I'm thrilled he asked
But I prefer to wait
I doubt he's the type
That I'd choose for a mate

Lady Capulet
That's just where you're wrong
It's all a game of chance
The world's full of hags
Who waited for romance

Juliet
I'm not in love
I cannot be his wife

Nurse
Your daughter is spoiled

Lady Capulet
She has been all her life
A room full of toys
And still she wanted more

The Nurse
They're still in her room
All over the floor
Dream the same dreams
To fall head over heels
But fate makes sure that everyone
Adjusts their ideals

Lady Capulet
You will grow to love him
As I did your father
On the day we met
He was in a state

(spoken) Well, he could hardly stand up straight
He was drunk and overweight

Juliet
You're starting to sound
Like an old mother hen

Lady Capulet
You will have to learn to
Change your thinking about men
Why, even the Bible
Gets revised now and again
