Stay Home

Shrek · Shrek

I believe in self-assertion
Destiny or slight diversion
Now it seems I've got my head on straight

I'm a freak, an apparition
Seems I'v made the right decision
Try to turn back now it might be too late

And it's off 'til the morning and back again
Same old day same situation
My happiness is back as if to say

[chorus]
I wanna stay home today (Don't wanna go out)
If anyone comes to play (They're gonna get thrown out)
I wanna stay home today (Don't want no company, no way)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Simple lifeÂ’s my cup of tea
I donÂ’t need nobody but me
What I wouldnÂ’t give just to be left alone

I wanna be a millionaire someday,
but know what it feels like to give it away
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum

Over and over and over again
Same old day same situation
My Happiness is back as if to say

I wanna stay home today (DonÂ’t wanna go out)
If anyone comes my way (TheyÂ’re gonna get thrown out)
I wanna stay home today (DonÂ’t want no company, no way)

Rain, rain, every day now
Everyone just stay away now
Come another day (echoes)

I wanna stay home today (echoes)

I wanna stay home today (DonÂ’tÂ’ wanna go out)
If anyone comes to play (TheyÂ’re gonna get thrown out)
I wanna stay home today (DonÂ’t want no company, no way)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna stay home (DonÂ’t wanna go out)
If anyone comes my way (TheyÂ’re gonna get thrown out)
I wanna stay home today (DonÂ’t want no company, no way)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
