Recess (Movie Version) Lyrics

BLUE BOY: The doors are locked!

LEO: So dance, dance! Dance!!

[Verse 1]
I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap, I'm drownin' in her perfume

ANGELITA: What's happening?

FLEUR: What's going on?

[Verse 1]
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

MAGNOLIA: I mean, I can't stop

FLEUR: We gotta do something, guys

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place

CELESTE: I mean, I love dancing, but this is kinda ridiculous
ANGELITA: We need to find Crybaby and stop this now

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)

[Chorus]
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (Ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

[Verse 2]
Sittin' in my room, lookin' at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition

CELESTE: My powers won't start I've lost control

MAGNOLIA: Yea, I can't use mine neither

I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head

ANGELITA: Where is she?
FLEUR: My legs are killing me

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

LEO: Hello miss, Can I help you?

LORELAI: Hi, I'm Lorelai, I'm here to apply for the assistant position

LEO: Um. Yea. The assistant position

[Bridge]
Where has my time gone
And my mind gone?
I can't find euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head
Back to what she said

[Pre-Chorus]
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
MAGNOLIA: Where is she?

FLEUR: I can't do this anymore

[Chorus]
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (Ooh)

CELESTE: Crybaby, where are you?

[Chorus]
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say "Recess, I'm tired"
