Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- Stay Home .. Self


I believe in self-assertion
Destiny is like diversion
Now it seems I've got my head on straight

I'm a freak without provision
Seems I've made the right decision
Try to turn back now, it might be too late

And it's off to the morning and back again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness is back as if to say

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah , yeah, yeah

A simple life's my cup of tea
I don't need nobody but me
What I wouldn't give just to be left alone

I wanna be a millionaire someday
And know what it feels like to give it away
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum

And it's over and over and over again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness is back as if to say

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes my way
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Rain, rain every day
Everyone would just stay away now
Come another day
Come another day

(Musical Break)

I wanna stay home today
I wanna stay home today,
I wanna stay home, stay home, stay home, stay h-

I wanna stay home today
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna stay home
Don't wanna go out
If anyone comes my way
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don't want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- I'm A Believer .. Smash Mouth


I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

I thought love was
More or less a given thing
The more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm a believer

Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- Like Wow! .. Leslie Carter


Everything looks bright
Standing in your light
Everything feels right,
What's left is ah out of sight
What's a girl to do
I'm feeling you, you're on my mind
I wanna be with you
'Cause when you're standing next to me
It's like wow
And now your kisses to seem to set me free
It's like wow
And when we touch it's such a rush
I can't get enough
It's like it's like

[CHORUS:]
Ooh, hey, what?
It's like wow!
Ooh hey, what?
It's like wow!
Ooh hey, what?
It's like wow!
Ooh hey, what?
It's like wow!

Should I hesitate when it feels this great?
Don't wanna make a big mistake
Don't wanna make you
Think I'm playing games
I'm just trying to say
I wanna be with you
'Cause when you're
Standing next to me
It's like wow
And now

Your kisses seem to set me free
It's like wow
And when we touch
It's such a rush
I can't get enough
It's like
It's like

[Repeat chorus]

Fascinated by your love,
You know it's all I'm thinking of
Never waited long enough
My mind and heart are all mixed up
Feeling higher than a cloud
All my senses are like wow
Ooh hey, what?
It's like wow!

[Spoken:]
You know it's all I'm thinking of
It's like, it's like

[Repeat chorus]

It's just like wow
You know it's all I'm thinking of
Like wow
Everything feels right
Just like wow
Everything feel right
Just like wow
All my senses are alike
Like wow
Baby baby baby
The way I'm feeling you
Is like wow

[Repeat chorus]


Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- It Is You (I Have Loved) .. Dana Glover


There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes

But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you

But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins

And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into your perfect face

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along


Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- Best Years Of Our Lives .. Baha Men


I get such a thrill
When you look in my eyes
My heart skips a beat, girl
I feel so alive
Please tell me baby
If all this is true
'Cause deep down inside
All I wanted was you

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

When we first met
I could hardly believe
The things that would happen
That we could achieve
So let's be together
For all of our time
We'll go out so thankful
That you are still mine

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

My world's a better place
'Cause I know you're mine
This love is so real
And it's no surprise

Come on and say, "Yeah"
I got a song
Yeah..
'Cause through the years
I'll be right by your side

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

See, you always consider me
Like a ogre, nothing
And treat me
Like a Notre Dame
I says why
I helped you keep my shine on
A perky little something
To keep my mind on
'Cause you had my mind gone

Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa-aa
Turn the lights on
Come on baby
Let's just rewind the song
'Cause all I wanna do is make
The rest years the best years
All night long

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives

Ohhhh...
Makes me wanna dance
Ohhhh...
It's a new romance
Ohhhh...
I look into your eyes
Ohhhh...
Best years of our lives


Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- Bad Reputation .. Half Cocked


[Written by Joan Jett]

I don't give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
Hey, a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do

And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

And I don't give a damn about my reputation
I never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only feeling good when I'm having fun
And I don't have to please no one

And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

And I don't give a damn about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if I'm strange
I ain't gonna change

And I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Break it down

And I don't give a damn about my reputation
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway

So why should I care about a bad reputation, anyway
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me

Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me


Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- My Beloved Monster .. Eels


My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean

My beloved monster is tough
If she wants she will disrobe you
But if you lay her down for a kiss
Her little heart it could explode

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la


Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- You Belong To Me .. Jason Wade


See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- All Star .. Smash Mouth


Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus:]
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Repeat Chorus]

Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- Hallelujah .. Rufus Wainwright


I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Shrek soundtrack lyrics -- I'm On My Way .. The Proclaimers


I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door

And now that I don't want for anthing
I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson

And now that I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world".
