Lyrics

 * Evil Queen
 * So, the Charmings think their love is strong enough to defeat me?
 * Well, there's one thing they don't know


 * Mirror, mirror, could not be clearer
 * And love is a waste of time
 * I'm here to tell you with love's magic spell
 * You cannot match the power of mine


 * Once I loved and once I learned
 * Love is weakness
 * Love will leave you burned


 * Down with love, down with hope
 * Don't need blind faith to cope
 * Or inspiring songs in my heart


 * Got the magic I need
 * For my darkest of deeds
 * Love at times can entrance
 * But love doesn't stand a chance


 * Love doesn't stand a chance


 * Mirror, mirror, the time draws nearer
 * For me to enact my curse
 * Those happy feelings that send them reeling
 * Will soon become the reverse


 * Down with love, down with hope
 * Don't need blind faith to cope
 * Or inspiring songs in my heart


 * Got the magic I need
 * For my darkest of deeds
 * Love at times can entrance
 * But love doesn't stand a chance


 * Love doesn't stand a chance


 * Stole my shot at one true love
 * That's what she did to me
 * Now that little bitch will wish
 * She never ever knew me


 * Down with love, down with dreams
 * Down with goodness in schemes
 * Gonna rip the song right from their hearts


 * Got the magic I need
 * For my darkest of deeds
 * Watch my curse kill romance
 * So love doesn't stand a chance


 * No, no, love doesn't stand a chance

Song Notes

 * At the origin, "The Song in Your Heart" was supposed to feature seven songs, but one track ended up being split in two songs: "The Queen Sings" and "Love Doesn't Stand a Chance".
 * About the song, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis say it is "very much a Regina song" as they "wanted the songs to reflect the people who are singing them". The tone is said to be a "kind of David Bowie meets Rocky Horror".
