UNDER ATTACK

SOPHIE
Don’t know how to take it
Don’t know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is
Getting tighter
And it troubles me so
NIGHTMARE CHORUS
You know that I’m nobody’s fool
SOPHIE
I’m nobody’s fool
And yet it’s clear to me
I don’t have a strategy
It’s just like taking
Candy from a baby
And I think I must be -

SOPHIE & NIGHTMARE CHORUS
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing
Can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how

SOPHIE
This is getting crazy
I should tell them so
Really let my anguish show
I feel like I was trapped in a nightmare
I’ve got nowhere to go
NIGHTMARE CHORUS
Still undecided I suppose
SOPHIE
Yes, it’s what I wanted
But I’m scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what could happen
Where I’d be if I fell

SOPHIE & NIGHTMARE CHORUS
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing
Can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how
NIGHTMARE CHORUS
You know that I’m nobody’s fool
SOPHIE & NIGHTMARE CHORUS
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Wont’ somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover

SOPHIE
Thinking nothing
Can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how

Original lyric:


Don’t know how to take it
Don’t know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is
Getting tighter
And it troubles me so

You know that I’m nobody’s fool

I’m nobody’s fool
And yet it’s clear to me
I don’t have a strategy
It’s just like taking
Candy from a baby
And I think I must be -


Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Wont’ somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing

Can stop him now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how


This is getting crazy
I should tell them so
Really let my anguish show

Persuade him that the answer to his question
Is a definite no

(I'm kind if flattered I suppose)

Yes I'm kind of flattered
but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what could happen
Where I’d be if I fell


Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Wont’ somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing

Can stop him now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how

You know that I’m nobody’s fool

Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Wont’ somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart?
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover


Thinking nothing
Can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure
I would know how
