Alternate Six Lyrics - Catherine of Aragon

I finally got round to seeing Six last month and, boy - is it fantastic! I was also deeply impressed with how historically accurate it is (I admittedly put off seeing it as I was sure it'd be like the TV series The Tudors or worse Reign). Having said that, there were a few tiny tweaks in the lyrics that I'd make just to tighten that accuracy up even further. So here's the first of them (with the altered lyrics highlighted in bold):

No Way not (entirely) from Six

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
(No no no no no no no way)
There's no way
You must agree that baby
In all the time I've been by your side
I've never lost control
No matter how many times you hurt my pride
Have my golden rule
Got to keep my cool           
Yeah, baby

[Ensemble:]
You know she's got to keep her cool

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
And even though you've had your fun
Running around with some pretty young thing
And even though you've had one son
With someone who don't own a wedding ring
No matter what I heard
I didn't say a word, no, baby

[Ensemble:]
You know she never said a word

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
I put up with your sh...
Like every single day
But now it's time to shh
And listen when I say

You must think that I'm crazy
You wanna replace me baby
There's no no no no no no no way
If you think for a moment
I'd grant you annulment, just hold up
There's no no no no no no no way

No way
No way
There's no no no no no no no way

No way
No way
There's no no no no no no no way

There's no way

So you read a bible verse that I'm cursed
'Cause I was your brothers wife
You say it's a pity 'cause quoting leviticus
I'll end up kiddy-less all my life
Well daddy have a care
‘Cause you’ve forgotten Mary. aw hi baby

[Ensemble:]
Daughters are so easy to forget

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
You're just so full of sh...
It’s not hard to perceive
I won't back down won't shh
And no I'll never leave

You must think that I'm crazy
You wanna replace me baby
There's no no no no no no no way
If you thought it'd be funny to
Send me to a nunnery, honey there's no way

No way
No way
There's no no no no no no no way

No way
No way
There's no no no no no no no way

There's no way
Hey

(Woo)
(Let's go)
(Woo)
(Here we go)

You've got me down on my knees
Please tell me what you think I've done wrong
Been humble, been loyal, I've tried
To swallow my pride all along
If you just say you’re sure
That you think when we wed I wasn’t pure,
I'll go

No?

You've got nothing to say
I'm not going away
There's no way

You must think that I'm crazy
You wanna replace me baby
There's no no no no no no no way

You made me your wife
So I'll be queen to the end of my life
No no no no no no no way

No way
No way

No no no no nope no nope no nope no no

No way
No way

There's no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no way

There's no way
