They don't even notice a new you
Ooooo
They keep looking at me like I'm cuckoo
Boo-hoo

Evolve into Mewtwo
Then I'll...

Underneath the overpass
He prays this day before him
Will be better than the last

I find scant moves fast enough to accommodate me.
I’ve begun putting things aside, I procrastinate,
And good times...

Would I dare 

to walk a mile in her shoes

To put my feet in cinder's slippers

 marry a handsome prince

who turns out to be another Jafar

I'm on a rough route to a righteous destination,
Tormented by the obstacles, blockin' my path
So I'm embracin',

Takes more then a glance,
Hold close with no excuse,
To give sympathy a chance.

It has a house to build on,
Carrying the past as...
