Sutton Foster feat. Brian D'Arcy James - Shrek The Musical

I Think I Got You Beat

There are things you don't know.
You know, about me, about how rough I had it.
What, in that cushy tower of yours?
Cushy? Are you kidding?
I had nothing, in that tower
Fighting boredom by the hour!

Princess Lonely, walking circles
I had only...
Bare essentials
Army cot
A hot plate and chamber pot.
And every morning I would boil it
No choice, I had no toilet!
Just a view of devastation
Out one window, isolation
In my bedroom
And very little headroom.
Twenty years, I sat and waited
I'm very dedicated
On the walls the days were added

Luckily, those walls were padded!
So...
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat.
Oh, you think so? That was a sad story, but...
I've heard better, I'm just saying
'A' for effort, thanks for playing
Sad to see a princess suffer
But I had it rougher.
Like that time a mob with torches burned my britches
See the scorches
You're just whiney
I had a flaming hiney!
As I fled I had to wonder
If I were torn asunder
Would an ogre go to heaven
Did I mention I was seven?
So...
I think I got you beat

I think I got you beat

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I got you beat

I think I got you beat.

No warm regards
No Christmas cards

And every day
Was Hell on Earth day

I missed my prom!
My dad and mom sent me away...
It was my birthday.
I was sent away on Christmas Eve
Ha ha!
Bare essentials, army cot,
a hot plate and a chamber pot. Shrek: No warm regards
And every morning, I would boil it. No choice, I had no toilet!
No Christmas cards
Just a view of devastation,
out one window isolation. In my bedroom, and very little headroom.
And every day was Hell on Earth day

Twenty years, I sat and waited!
I missed my prom!

I'm very dedicated, on the walls the days were added.
My dad and mom sent me away...

Luckily those walls were padded!
It was my birthday!

20 years!
I missed my prom!
My dad and mom

Sent me away
So...
So...
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
