Lyrics[]
I can't help it if mirrors love my face
It's genetics, yeah I got these genes from outer space!
Peep the name I'm magnificent
I put the "I" in omnipotent
I'm passionate, I'm not petulant
Someone praise me for my benevolence
[Just look]
I'd give the clothes of Benito’s back
If you really needed that
I'd be the first one to volunteer..., Henry!
If your home were to crumble or if you were in trouble
I let you live in for free and I don't even charge you rent
I clean up all your messes and I'm always there when you need to vent
I give, and give, and give, and give
You'd think they'd all be content
And all I really want is just a little respect
And this is the thanks I get?!
This is the thanks I get
And this is the thanks I get?!
And this is the thanks I get?!
"You're so brilliant"
Ah, that's the least you could say
There's more, admit it
You're cute, and strong, and bold, and brave
Thanks
See this kingdom? I built it up
And you still complain? Ungrateful much
Are you sure that you're not the prob?
I'd love to see you try and do my job
I granted fourteen wishes last year
Come on! That's a high percent
And now you're questioning your king?
The disrespect I just underwent
You know I always got your back
Yeah, really though it's no sweat
Since the day you were born and the day that we met
And this is the thanks I get?!
This is the thanks I get?!
And this is the thanks I get?!
And this is the thanks I get?!
I didn't wanna do this
I swore I'd never do this
But I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip
Cause' I refuse to have my power stripped
A potion, a spell, a summon, a curse?
Anything to make that light reverse!
To this book I don't wanna be tethered
But desperate times call for desperate measures
[Where was I? Oh yeah]
There's a traitor in this town and still I remain unbent
Come out now, explain yourself
I'm sure it's all just an accident
Well, whoever finds them first
Now that's a wish well spent
Honestly keeping you safe should be worth every cent
And this is the thanks I get?!
This is the thanks I get?!
And this is the thanks I get?!
This is the thanks I get?!
Ohh! This is the thanks I get!
