Forget About It is a song from the musical Hercules, which is a duet sung by Hercules and Meg after they meet.
Lyrics[]
Meg:
What’s it with guys?
They don’t think, they just punch
I should diaper and burp them or pack them a lunch
Cause they all need a smack
And this one thinks he’s rescuing me?
Forget about it
What would I do in a world without men?
I would do as I please, let me say that again:
I would do as I please
Not yearning for my hero at last
Forget about it fast
This one’s tall, this one’s ripped
This one’s mouth should stay zipped
I have got them all whipped and outclassed
Poor little me in the woods on my own
They think I’m scared to death here with no chaperone
They can save their bad breath
Forget about it
Meg (spoken): Okay, are you done now Wonderboy?
Hercules (spoekn): Name’s Hercules
Meg (spoken): Don’t care.
Let me tell you a little something about saving women who don’t need to be saved.
Hercules:
She rolls her eyes and fills me with butterflies
Pretty sure there aren’t a lot like her
Just like a Sphinx, there’s no telling what she thinks
Wonder how somebody got like her
All I know is when she’s close to me
Thoughts I never thought occur
I like her style and her incandescent smile
How could anybody not like her?
Meg: (Hercules:)
And since I was twelve, I was out on my own (Just like a Sphinx)
Living life on the ledge and with no chaperone (There's no telling what she thinks)
I developed an edge (Wonder how somebody got like her)
So if you’d planned on rescuing me
Forget about it
People will quit when there’s nowhere to turn (I like her style)
And your life’s on the rocks, it’s a hard way to learn (And her incandescent smile)
And I’ve taken some knocks (How could anybody not like her?)
Don’t think that you're a hero last
Forget about it!
Meg (spoken): Thanks, but no thanks
Meg:
Don’t need you to assist or to stand there and look
I’ve a powerful fist and a killer left hook
So if you plan on rescuing me
Forget about it
