Original Broadway Cast of Shrek The Musical - When Words Fail lyrics

[Shrek] Princess. I How's it going first of all' Good' Uh, it's good for me too I'm okay I picked this flower Right over there Is where it grew And I don't really like it But it made me think of you Because it's pretty Is what I'm trying to say And you are also pretty But I like you anyway So please accept this flower With its petals and a stem Which represent my feelings And tells you how (spoken) Oh man I'm in trouble When words fail What will I do' When words fail How will she know how I feel' When words fail Will I fail too' Hello fair princess Oh look the moon Is out tonight You remind me of that moon Because it's big and bright And by big I don't mean chubby Obviously you're not fat But your personality is biggish Is what I meant by that Sorry 'bout that fat thing I'm on the hefty side myself I have to blame the gene pool Which reminds me of' Oh where I am going with this When words fail What will I do' When words fail How will she know how I feel' When words fail Will I fail too' Do I have a snowball's chance' Are my prospects just too grim' I spent my life stuck in the mud Now I'm crawling out on a limb If words fail She'll know what I mean If words fail She'll just take my hand She sees me like no one else has If words fail She'll understand She'll understand
