Donkey Kong: Rosalina, you're angry, I get it.

Believe me, I know what it's like, but you are making a mistake!

Donkey Kong: The path of hate is a dangerous track

You take one step and it's hard to turn back

It pulls you along,

and though it seems wrong it feels right

Don't you see this path you're on leaves a permanent mark

It feels good at first, then it slowly turns dark

With each passing day

you're further astray from the light

Suddenly, you lose your way and lose the thread

Lose your cool, then lose your head

Every loss is harder to excuse

Then you'll see you'll lose your faith and lose your soul

'till you lose complete control

And realize there's nothing left to lose

Nothing left to lose

Donkey Kong: Rosalina, trust me, becoming the villain isn't the answer!

Rosalina: Is that what you think I am?

Rosalina: The path I'm on is a path paved in black

I'm taking that road and I'm not looking back

Each twist and each turn

leads straight where I'm yearning to go

Yes, it's true, my path is dark but I see where it ends

My rivals will fall as my power ascends

Despise me, that's fine

I'm taking what's mine even so

Not like you, you lost your nerve, you lost the game

But you and I, we're not the same

I'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose

So I chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains

Lose each weakness that remains

Now that I have nothing left to lose

Nothing left to lose

Donkey: You have so much to hold onto

Rosalina: I only want my rightful dues

Donkey Kong: Listen please, you've lost your grip and lost your mind

Rosalina: Lose? I'm not gonna lose

Donkey Kong: All's not lost, don't be so blind

Rosalina: I refuse

Donkey Kong: Cut your losses, drop the IOUs

Rosalina: I refuse

Donkey Kong: Oooh choose

Rosalina: I lose no tears and lose no sleep

What I want I'll take and keep

Donkey Kong: It's time for you to choose

Both: You can't stop the turning of the screws

Rosalina: You'll stay in that cage until this is done. And just in case you think of escaping...

Rosalina: Now I have nothing left to lose
