Shrek The Musical Cast - 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
