Shrek is realizing that he is in love with princess Fiona, so he decided to pick her a flower and start a conversation with her, but fails in the beginning, so he keeps practicing until her has the courage to talk to her.
[SHREK, spoken]
Princess. I
How's it going first of all
Good
Uh, it's good for me too
I'm okay
(sung)
I picked this flower
Right over there
Is where it grew
And I don't really like it
But it made me think of you
Because it's pretty
Is what I'm trying to say
And you are also pretty
But I like you anyway
So please accept this flower
With its petals and a stem
Which represent my feelings
And tells you how
(spoken)
Oh man I'm in trouble
When words fail
What will I do
When words fail
How will she know how I feel
When words fail
Will I fail too
Hello fair princess
Oh look the moon
Is out tonight
You remind me of that moon
Because it's big and bright
And by big I don't mean chubby
Obviously you're not fat
But your personality is biggish
Is what I meant by that
Sorry 'bout that fat thing
I'm on the hefty side myself
I have to blame the gene pool
Which reminds me of
Oh where I am going with this
When words fail
What will I do
When words fail
How will she know how I feel
When words fail
Will I fail too'
Do I have a snowball's chance
Are my prospects just too grim
I spent my life stuck in the mud
Now I'm crawling out on a limb
If words fail
She'll know what I mean
If words fail
She'll just take my hand
She sees me like no one else has
If words fail
She'll understand
She'll understand
