This is about how Turpen and his beadle wanted Todd's wife so bad that they sent him off and used the wife in her grief. After they brought her to that party she loses everything, including her daughter Johanna. She then walks around London begging for money just so she can live. When Mrs. Lovett sings this to Todd he knows the story all to well, and even starts to think of what his long lost daughter looks like. Todd just wanted the judge to pay for what he had done to his wife, daughter, and to him. This song is just a story to Mrs. Lovett, but it's Todd's life.
