"Nobody Gets In My Way" is a deleted song featured in the film Enchanted, with music composed by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. It was written for the scene where Queen Narissa enters into New York to persue Giselle.
According to Schwartz in a 2010 Q&A on his website, the "song is for Narissa, but the intention is that it will be sung by a pop singer (with back-up vocals) on the soundtrack, and Narissa will sing along with or mouth some of the lines". He posted the lyrics to the song as part of the same Q&A.
Speaking in an 2022 audio commentary, director Kevin Lima said that the song "didn't quite move the story forward", and so was cut from the film.
Lyrics[]
Neon on black leather
Striding down the street
You see 'em you better duck (duck!)
Duck and run for cover
Blood pounding, I never
Felt so strong a beat
May I suggest, boy, you run (run!)
Run on home to mother
I'd think you'd recognize a witch
When you've seen her
And know these mean streets just
Got a little meaner
Nobody, nobody gets in my way
If you want to see tomorrow
I'm here to tell you, it's hell you will pay
Better heed what I say
Or don't to your sorrow
I've had a bad day
And nobody gets in my way!
Tonight is my hour
Watch me strut my stuff
Who is this beauty in black? (who?)
A woman on a mission
I'm feeling my power
Got more than enough
There's only one thing I lack (what?)
Any inhibition
So may I recommend self-preservation?
I've always been so bad (bad!)
At handling frustration
Nobody, nobody gets in my way
If you want to see tomorrow
I'm here to tell you, it's hell you will pay
Better heed what I say
Or don't to your sorrow
How rough can you play?
'cause I'll push it too far, oh,
I've had a bad day
And nobody (nobody!)
Nobody (nobody!)
Nobody gets in my way!
