Lyrics to Harden My Heart
SHERRIE:
CRYIN' ON THE CORNER
WAITIN' IN THE RAIN
I SWEAR I'LL NEVER, EVER WAIT AGAIN
YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD
BUT WORDS FOR YOU ARE LIES
DARLIN' IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D GO
BUT IT'S TIME TO LET YOU KNOW....OH
I'M GONNA HARDEN MY HEART
I'M GONNA SWALLOW MY TEARS
I'M GONNA TURN...AND...LEAVE YOU HERE!
ALL OF MY LIFE I'VE BEEN WAITIN' IN THE RAIN
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A FEELING THAT NEVER, EVER CAME
IT FEELS SO CLOSE
BUT ALWAYS DISAPPEARS
JUSTICE CHARLIER
DARLIN', IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS
YOU NEVER HAD A CLUE
BUT IT'S TIME YOU GOT THE NEWS
SHERRIE/ JUSTICE:
I'M (YOU'RE) GONNA HARDEN MY (YOUR) HEART
I'M (YOU'RE) GONNA SWALLOW MY (YOUR) TEARS
I'M (YOU'RE) GONNA TURN...AND...LEAVE YOU HERE!
JUSTICE CHARLIER:
Hey sweetie.

JUSTICE CHARLIER:
YOU SAY, OH GIRL, IT'S A COLD WORLD
WHEN YOU KEEP IT ALL TO YOURSELF
I SAID YOU CAN'T HIDE ON THE INSIDE
ALL THE PAIN YOU'VE EVER FELT
RANSOM YOUR HEART, BUT BABY DON'T LOOK BACK
'CAUSE WE GOT NOBODY ELSE
WE'RE RUNNIN' WITH THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT
SO BABY TAKE MY HAND, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT
SURRENDER ALL YOUR DREAMS TO ME TONIGHT
THEY'LL COME TRUE IN THE END
SHERRIE/ ENSEMBLE:
I'M GONNA HARDEN MY HEART
I'M GONNA SWALLOW MY TEARS
I'M GONNA TURN...AND...LEAVE YOU HERE
SHERRIE:
NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D GO
BUT IT'S TIME TO LET YOU KNOW....
I'M GONNA HARDEN MY HEART
JUSTICE CHARLIER/ ENSEMBLE:
WE'RE RUNNIN' WITH THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT
SHERRIE:
I'M GONNA SWALLOW MY TEARS
JUSTICE CHARLIER/ ENSEMBLE
SO BABY TAKE MY HAND, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT
SHERRIE:
I'M GONNA TURN...AND...LEAVE YOU HERE!
JUSTICE CHARLIER/ ENSEMBLE
SURRENDER ALL YOUR DREAMS TO ME TONIGHT

JUSTICE CHARLIER:
C'mon baby-- let's go inside.
