Shrek The Musical Cast - Don't Let Me Go Lyrics

Donkey:
Hey-hey-hey, ya gotta let me go with you.
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak.
(beat)
Well maybe you do. But that’s why we gotta stick together.

Shrek:
Donkey—

Donkey:
No-no-no, don't speak…don't speak…don’t speak…

Just hear me out, I might surprise you.
I'll be a friend, when others despise you.
Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin’.
You need a pal. My calendar's open!

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested.
I'll bail you out when you get arrested.
I got your back when things get scary.
And I'll shave it when it gets hairy!

Don't let me go
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go-oh-oo-ohhhh...
You need me.
You need me.

I'll treat you right, and never get shoddy.
If you kill a man, I'll hide the body.
Whadaya say? You’re not responding..
(silence-silence) I think we're bonding!

Don't let me go.
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go.
You need me.

You and me, we belong together!
Like butter and grits, like kibbles and bits.
Like yin and yang – strum and drang – like Eng and Chang
attached at the hip, but not an old lady hip that might break.
I’m gonna be on your like a fat kid on cake!
Like Cupid and Psyche – like Pop Rocks and Mikey.
We’ll stick together like that Velcro-stuff – I’m the fuzzy side, and you’ll be spiky.
Little kids and the pajamas with those funny things at the bottom. You know – feeties!
Like donuts and… what goes with donuts?
(searching, panicked)
donuts and… diabetes!

(Shrek tries to move on.)

Don’t let me go!
Don’t let me go!
Don’t let me go!
Don’t let me go!

Hold me! Hug me! Take me! Please!
Na na-na na na na-please don't let me go!
I need you-I need you-I need you- I need you-
I need you-I need you- I need you-I need you-
I need you-I need you-I need you-I need you-
I need you-I need you-I need you—

Don’t let meeeeee…
Go-oh! Go-oh! Go-oh!
Don’t let me…
G-g-g-g-g-g-go-ohohohohhhh…
