Oh, no! Oh, God 
"Don't I know you?" she said

You knew she lived 
From the first moment I walked into your shop you knew my Lucy lived!

I was only thinking of you

Lucy

Your Lucy! A crazy hag picking bones and rotten spuds out of alley ash cans
Would, would you have wanted to know that was all that was left of her?

You lied to me!

No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied

Lucy
Said she took the poison-she did!
Never said that she died, poor thing! (I've come home again)
She lived
But it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed
Lucy (should've been in hospital)
Wound up in Bedlam instead
Poor thing!

Oh, my God
Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!
I'd be twice the wife she was! (Lucy)
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you like me? (What have I done?) 

Mrs. Lovett
You're a bloody wonder
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly
There's little point in dwelling on the past

Do you mean it? (No, come here, my love)
Everything I did
I swear I thought
Was only for the best (not a thing to fear)
Believe me! (My love)
Can we (what's dead)
Still be (is dead)
Married?

The history of the world, my pet

Oh, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me

Is learn forgiveness and try to forget

By the sea, Mr. Todd
We'll be comfy-cozy
You and me, Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy

And life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it!
Just keep living it
Really living it
