Face to Face

Face to Face is a song performed by the Pink Ladies in the Paramount+ original series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.

Overview[]

After weeks of fighting to get what they wanted, the Pink Ladies achieve success through unconventional means. They realized their successes don't feel right. Jane struggled to accept her duties as student council president after only getting them because Buddy was expelled. Nancy wanted the Pink Ladies back together, and hatched a plan with Potato. Cynthia was given Richie's T-Birds jacket and her shot at being a T-Bird, though it didn't feel quite right given that she was once a Pink Lady. Olivia finally got love from Mr. Daniels and the chance to marry him, though it would mean leaving Rydell and her friends behind. The girls sang about their fantasies being different in reality. As they moved through the school, they didn't realize how many times they crossed paths and were connected. The song ended when Jane stood at the podium in the gym where her student council gavel was held.^[1]

Lyrics[]

[Jane]:
I got what I wanted
Played the perfect game
But I ruined everything
I got what I wanted
Checked off every goal
What's the point when you're alone?

Life plays some dirty tricks
Got everything that you wanted
But then you have to admit it

[All]:
That the dream doesn't feel the same
When you see it face to face
Fantasy and reality
Don't agree when they're face to face
(Face to face
Yeah, face to face)

[Nancy]:
I got what I wanted
A chance to set it right
Oh, I'll fight to end this fight

[Cynthia]:
I got what I wanted
A jacket on my back
But it don't fit
No, it don't feel like I imagined

[All]:
Life plays some dirty tricks
([Olivia]: Some dirty tricks)
Got everything that you wanted
But then you have to admit it

That the dream doesn't feel the same
When you see it face to face
Fantasy and reality
Don't agree when they're face to face
(Face to face
Yeah, face to face)

[Olivia]:
I got what I wanted
[Jane]:
What I wanted
[Olivia]:
White horse and the ring
[Jane]:
Damn it stings
[Olivia & Jane]:
What if nothing's
Nothing like it seems?
Like it's counterfeit
I feel dumb for trusting it
[Olivia]:
But maybe I should just give in
Give in, give in, give in

[Jane]:
I got what I thought I wanted
And now I'm glad I did
'Cause I got the answers to what matters

[All]:
That the dream doesn't feel the same
When you see it face to face
Fantasy and reality
Don't agree when they're face to face
(Face to face
Yeah, face to face)
Don't agree when they're face to face
(Face to face
Yeah, face to face)
Don't agree when they're face to face
(Face to face
Yeah, face to face)
Don't agree when they're face to face
