Tootsie Noodles:
When they say you can't love, I think you've got it wrong
They say you can't feel, with a heart made of steel
But you can't say that steel ain't strong
Well if that's who you are, just a meaningless star in the sky
Tell me what is the meaning of what I am feeling if you are the reason why?
Now I may be dumb
But where I come from
Folks say they're fine when I know that they're blue
But you don't know you
The way I do
Mega-Girl:
Your kind is frail and weak, and I want to destroy you all
You're a sorry disgrace, to the concept of race
And to logical science and law
But for some reason why, when you look at me I don't wanna be
Programmed this way, believe when I say
You're the one anomaly
You might not be smart
But there is a part of me
That's starting to make a break through
No, you don't know you
The way I do
Tootsie Noodles (Mega-Girl):
I never expected
(My wires are protected from abnormal things like you)
To find, someone like you
(When you know everything, it is suddenly strange when you don't have a clue!)
I don't know anything, but you're giving me a clue
Tootsie Noodles and Mega-Girl:
I can see past, the, surface
Finding the worth that is hiding beneath
Your life, and, purpose
And all of a sudden I feel like I've run into something that no one has seen!
February (Bug):
You're perfect and wonderful
How I hoped you'd be
(February, I…)
But it's really enough
For you to be just a human being
(There's something I need to tell you…)
And I'll know you'll agree
That's all we need to make our dreams come true
(You're a dream come true, but I need to share something with you…)
If this life has ending, I'm glad that I'm spending this short little time with you
February and Bug (Tootsie Noodles and Mega-Girl):
I'm so much more, than what you've thought before
(So much more then what we have gotten too)
Now that we have got you too
February (Tootsie Noodles and Mega-Girl):
Get to know you
(You don't know you)
Bug:
But you don't know me
All:
The way I do…
