Shrek The Musical Cast - Forever Lyrics

Verse 1:
Another day inside my keep
I get no rest, I get no sleep
‘cause when I start to count my sheep
You come around
[Donkey: I-I’ll just come back a little later than, okay?]

I draw my shades and lock my doors
Still you come for what ain’t yours
Like a hound dog on all fours
You sniff around and around and around

Chorus:
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
Forever
Forever
[ I wish I could stay but forever sounds like a long time, and uh I got a hair appointment]

Verse 2:
Another knight, another name ( Backup: Another name)
But all in all you’re all the same (You’re all the same)
Foolish moth you want the flame that you fly around.
The siren calls you from her beach (ooooo, woo woo)
That pretty girl, that perfect peach (ooooo, woo woo)
She is always out of reach (ooooo, no)
but I am around and around and around

Chours:
You’re gonna stay (You’re gonna stay)
You’re gonna stay (You’re gonna stay)
You’re gonna stay
[Hey not so close, now watch my tail]
Forever (Forever)
Forever
[You’ve got some reall boundary issues you know that?]

You think I like this job?
I’m a glorified babysitter (baby, babysitter)
No one wants to rescue me. So yeah I'm a little bitter
So yeah, I’m a little bitter
I’m not princess, no great beauty
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wants me
(You made her mad)
Rescue me
(You’re gonna die)
Come on baby and rescue me
(Don’t even try to come around round and round round and round round and round)
Oh round and around and around and around and around and around and around and around

[Wait a minute now hold on, now I’ve got something to say here]
[First of all, I am not a Knight, I’m a donkey. ]
[And if you don’t know that by now you nee to get your eyes checked]
[Secondly, that princess is not even my type, you know why?]

{Donkey Sings}

I like a big, big girl
I like a big, big girl
[Help me out boys]
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)
And as for you, I think you’re bluffin’
Stompin’ around all huffin’ and puffin’
You want to love stop with the hatin’
(Unchain your heart)
He’s out there waiting
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)
[Well I hope you learned something valuable today]
[Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way]

[What’s wrong with you, you got something in your eye?]
{Dragon Sings}
I’m no princess, still he wants me [laugh]
No great beauty, but he wants me [say what?]
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wanted me
so

You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
Forever [Wasn’t talking about me specifically]
I’m gonna love you Forever
You’re gonna stay with me
Forever more
You’re gonna love
Me
