[STELLA, spoken] Let me give you one piece of advice, and take my word on this; if you’re going to survive in this world, you need to look less… innocent. Ain’t that right, boys? Nothing comes easy in this life, Darling. We know

[STELLA, sung]
Some like it rough
Some wanna hold you down
Some talk it tough
Still some will take you to town
You don’t protest
You know it’s for the best
So you go get dressed
Some break the skin
Others bruise the soul
You don’t let them in
Or you may lose control

But you may feel
A dull little ache
You may feel
A sharp little bite
But what you make
Might make the ache alright

[RENT BOY #1]
Some wanna get

[RENT BOY #2]
Others want to give
[RENT BOY #3]
Some like it wet

[STELLA]
But hey you gotta live

[RENT BOYS]
I heard in school you’re taught

[STELLA]
To show ‘em

[ALL]
What you got
Ain’t worth another thought

[STELLA]
You may feel

[ALL]
A dull little ache

[STELLA]
You may feel

[ALL]
A sharp little bite
But what you do
[STELLA]
Is just get through
The night

[RENT BOYS]
Get on through
Get on through
Get on through
Get on through
And it will be

[ALL]
Alright

[STELLA]
Some go to school

[RENT BOYS]
Could’ve gone to school

[STELLA]
Some work nine to five

[RENT BOYS]
We work five to nine
[STELLA]
Some rise and rule

[RENT BOYS]
Some play the fool

[STELLA]
But ain’t it all to survive

[RENT BOYS]
The choice was all mine
The broken parts will mend

[STELLA]
So baby

[ALL]
Play pretend

[STELLA]
And sometimes the means

[ALL]
The end
