Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You going to challenge all three of us

to a feud now?

Look, I asked you guys here for a truce,

okay? Sometimes I don't know how to fit

in here,

but kissing you, Marley, that was so out

of line, and I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's not, but I'll never do it again.

Look, friendship is about trust. It's

like when we're playing football. Look,

I fumbled the ball this time, but you

know I have good hands. I just made a

mistake. You know, if you give me the

ball again, I won't let you down.

Yeah, but it might take a little while.

I take that. Thank you,

Unique. Look, I'm not going to pretend

like I understand everything that's

going on with you,

but you have a truth. And as your

friend, I need to support that truth.

So, you're a girl, dude.

Crap. Did I mess that up?

No, it's just

that day after we sang, I decided to

walk home in all my Leslie Ugums glory

and a group of popular girls came after

me.

Are you serious? Look at this. Are you a

boy or a girl? Hey, freak. Lady freak.

I got home before they caught up to me,

but I was so scared.

I'm walking you home from now on.

Yeah, me too.

Me three. Me four. And PS. Do those

go to this school? Cuz if so, I

want their name so I can put Nir in

their shampoo bottles.

Wait a minute. We're friends.

Look, I don't know if it's cuz I've been

dating Pucker, which makes it really

hard to judge anyone. And I will deny it

outside in the real world, but yes,

we're friends and we're in this

together. I'm a winner and I want to win

regionals. So, we need to cut the crap

and the fighting and tighten up so we

can win this. Friendships are tested

like this all the time. And the ones

that are real are the ones that pass the

test. Arty and Tina and Sam and probably

Britney are all going to be gone next

year and it's going to be up to us to

keep up the glee club torch. Not just

winning competitions, but the legacy of

being the only place at the school,

at any school, where the most special

thing you could be is yourselves.

Think we're up for it?

Are you kidding? This place ain't seen

nothing yet.
