Categories  /Darren Criss
This one’s got a dirty mouth
The other’s got a twisted shout
The other just got nothing to say

This one’s got that purple like fire
I like the other better
This one’s just got nothing but gray

So take the dust off of your boots
You’d think she was in cahoots
Sketchy baby girl over there

Girl you’re acting crazy
Lord have mercy!
I’m used to it
But sometimes I just think you don’t care.

Seems like the categories
Got nothing to do with you or me
With you or me

Seems like the ones who love us
They don’t even know just what that means
That’s how it seems

Oooooh, oooooh, ooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Oooooh, oh..

Dancing with an angel/demon, brother/sister, mother/heathen
Putting all the steps in the groove
And nodding your head back and forth,
“This song, I kinda love this song,”
Pretending that you know all the moves

The beat goes faster than even I can handle
Take your time just when you can
And see that you got caught by the hook
Invisible lines cast by a thousand strangers
Take your time and hope for danger
Exercise and promise a look

Seems like the categories
Got nothing to do with you or me
With you or me

Seems like the ones who love us
They don’t even know just what that means
That’s how it seems

I take advantage of all my callings
Don’t take no stops at stop signs
I get the feeling that I’m still falling
In between all the lines that we never made

Oooooh, oooooh, ooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Oooooh, oh...

Seems like the categories
Got nothing to do with you or me
With you or me

Seems like the ones who love us
They don’t even know just what that means
That’s how it seems
How it seems, how it seems

Oooooh, oooooh, ooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Oooooh, oh...


Stutter /Darren Criss
Remember that time,
When you wouldn't talk to me,
When you wouldn't talk to me, all night.

Remember that song,
and all the words we'd sing.
Well here's a song I'd sing, all right.

Remember that way,
When you'd never lie to me,
'cause you'd never lie to me, no way.

You could be faking it.
My god, don't be like that,
I don't like the way you act around me.

So baby, come on, come on.
Oh don't you tell me no, there you go again
You're ten out of ten,
Sorry did I just stutter?
Won't tell you what you know, there you go again,
You were never my friend, you were never my lover.

Remember that night,
When I saw you standing there,
Dark eyes, dark hair, it's just you.

Remember the way,
You were way out of line,
I was way out of time, for you.

And I got your number, right next to your name.
But it ain't nothing, no, it ain't enough.
That I got your word, I know, that it's all ok.
Trying to forget, your kind of...

So baby, come on, come on.
Oh don't you tell me no, there you go again
You're ten out of ten,
Sorry did I just stutter?
Won't tell you what you know, there you go again,
You were never my friend, you were never my lover.

I know you could be better,
You don't have to waste my time,
It's not like I need you more than I need me,
And, I know that you want it
Trying to get you on it,
Baby we could **** the rest, turn around and run it.
Tell me what your convictions, the promises you keep,
I've got a proposition, and friction that you need.

Don't you tell me that, you don't want too.
Don't you tell me that, you don't want too.

So baby, come on, come on.
Oh don't you tell me no, there you go again
You're ten out of ten,
Sorry did I just stutter?
Won't tell you what you know, this is the end.

You were never friend, you were never my, you were never my lover.



Granger Danger /Darren Criss
RON:
Here I am face to face
With a situation
I never ever thought I'd ever see

Strange how a dress
Can take a mess
And make her nothing less than
Beautiful to me

I feel like my eyes have been transfigured
something deep inside has changed
they've been open wide, but hold that trigger
this could mean danger

I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
with Hermione Granger

DRACO:
What? What the hell is this?
You expect me to sing about her?
I don't care about her

It's just a little make up
Draco, wake up
I'm mistaken

She--- is the hottest girl I've ever seen
Now--- because she's like a girl I've never seen
Don't know why---- I'd ever be so mean, this could mean DANGER!

I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger.

MALFOY & RON: I wanna let her know
MALFOY: I feel so queasy
MALFOY & RON: But I can't let it show
RON: She'd laugh, poor Weasley
RON: Come on, Ron
MALFOY: Draco
TOGETHER: You gotta let it go, you gotta let it go

TOGETHER

MALFOY:
WHAT? what the hell is this?
I want to sing about her
Sing about her

I want to make up
Granger, wake up
I've been mistaken

She--- is the hottest girl I've ever seen
Now--- because she's like a girl I've never seen
Don't know why---- I'd ever be so mean, this could mean DANGER!

RON:
Here I am, face to face
With a situation
I never thought I'd ever see

Strange how a dress
Can take a mess
And make her nothing less than
Beautiful to me

I feel like my eyes have been transfigured
Something deep inside has changed
They've been open wide, but hold that trigger
This could mean danger

TOGETHER:
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger.
With Hermione Grander.
With Hermione Granger.

DANGER!



I Still Think /Darren Criss
My life is a,
series of actors changing places
except there's no back stage
and there's no place for me.

It's okay though,
the jokes on the television
make me laugh,
remind me that it's okay
not to have a backstage or a place to hide.

Well I've got dinner on my plate,
got my paycheck yesterday.
How great, how cool.
I've got places, I've got friends,
I've got Joey, Ross, and Chandler, then..
there's you.

And now, how, we like to say that we're in love,
doesn't it, seem like that should be enough,
but, the world will roll their eyes but I still think,
well I still think that we're in love.

Oh shoes and jackets,
purses and tennis rackets,
make their way as they please,
in those SUVs to the country club.

I don't play much,
but I do enjoy having the ball in my court,
and what's more,
I like playing, for love.

But I've got arms and you've got legs,
together we've made some mistakes.
But hey, we're doing well!

Well I've got reason to believe,
in the power of you and me to break,
this spell.

And now, how, we like to say that we're in love,
doesn't it, seem like that should be enough,
but, the world will roll their eyes but I still think,
well I still think that we're in love.

One more question:
how is this one big lesson?
I don't think that there's a quiz,
but if there is I'll be, outside;
playing in the yard,
swinging on monkey bars,
exercising my right to this recess from this lesson
that I tried, ohh

But I've got arms and you've got legs,
together we've made some mistakes.
But hey, we're doing well!

Well I've got reason, to believe,
in the power of you and me to break,
this spell.

And now, how, we like to say that we're in love,
doesn't it, seem like that should be enough,
but, the world will roll their eyes but I still think,
well I still think that we're in love.
well I still think that we're in love, love, love.
well I still think that we're in love.
Ooh..
[whistling]



Human /Darren Criss
I feel like a loser
I feel like I've lost
I feel like I'm not so sure if I feel anything at all
But believe me, I'm not helpless I just
Need someone to love
So my situation's rough
But that just makes me a dumb human
Like you

I feel like a shortstop
Along third base
I may just help you but I still don't like your face
But believe me, I'm not hostile I just
Want to hear you laugh
When I'm sarcastic like that
But that just makes me a dumb human
Like you

Why
Do I have this incredible need to stand up
And say "Please, pay attention?"
It's the last thing that I need
To make myself seen
Well, that ain't my intention
No

I feel like an artist
Who's lost his touch
He likes himself in his art, but not his art too much
But believe me, I've got something
I just don't know how to say
That I'm just fine with the way
With the way that I'm moving
But that just makes me a dumb human
That just makes me
That makes me a human like

You



Don't You /Darren Criss
Say, wasn’t that a funny day?
Gee, you had a funny way—a way about you.
A kind of glow of something new.
Sure—I’ll admit that I’m the same.
Another sucker for a game kids like to play,
And the rules they like to use.

Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel for you?

The sun: telling me the night is done.
Well I refuse to let it stop our fun.
Close your eyes—we’ll make it dark again
And kiss; there’s a thought, so how ’bout this?
Let’s pretend that both our lips are made of candy.
After all, we need sweets every now and then.

Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel for you?

Here we are: two strangers in a very different place.
Who knows what could happen to us next?
Here we are with nothing but this little spark.
It’s too cold outside to lay this fire to rest.

Go? How so very apropos:
A goodbye just as soon as I said ‘Hello.”
Well alright, I’ll see you later.
It’s true: it’s just a fantasy for two.
But what’s the difference if it all could have been true?
I guess this is better.

But don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel for you?

Oh, don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel?
Don’t you want the way I feel for you?

Don’t you want the way that I feel for you?



Sophomore /Darren Criss
I've got a t-shirt on from you
Your record's all I listen to
And I drop your name with all my friends
But ain't it a shame that it's pretend
And I'm pretty sure that one day you will meet me and you will see just how cool I am
But for now I'm just for now I'm stuck as a
(chorus; sophomore.......)

It's too bad I'm only 16
I wanna rock that high school movie scene
I was thinking that like maybe we could chill tonight
We could watch The Breakfast Club, is that all right?
And I'm pretty sure that one day you will meet me and you will see that look in my eye
But for now I'm blinking and I don't know why I'm a
(chorus)

My closet's exploding from the colour blast,
The blast I have for you!
My mother, she's known it, all these colours clash
The Clash, I like them too!
My braces are freezing over
I'm shaking for you
I can't wait until this is over
Then I'll fall in love with you

I got a "how ya doin' baby" from you
How I wish that I could say that too
It's no wonder that you're underneath my skin
I haven't let you out since I let you in
And I'm pretty sure that one day you will leave me here alone to find someone new
And I'll be looking back I'll be looking down on a love attack and turn around
I'll be looking back on a

(chorus)


Jealousy /Darren Criss
I hate where I’m at
Acting crazy like that
I know that I’ve been wrong
It’s something I’ve been working on

And I don’t know what to do
It’s changing me it's killing you
I’d tear out my insides if I could
But I don’t know if it’d do me good

I’m sorry friends I’m sorry lovers
To put us all in this mess
I know we still got each other
But I’m in distress

Cause every time that I feel like I’ve figured it out
I can’t seem to figure it in
It’s got nothing to do with me
It’s not even you, you see
It’s part of my chemistry
It’s this jealousy

In absolutely no position
To be so needlessly unkind
When I’m the one writing this fiction
Make it real in my mind

It drives me crazy in the morning
Who is this monster in the mirror
I try to get the steam to fog it out
But I just can’t get it clear

Oh and I can’t stand what I’m feeling
It’s just like poison in my veins
I know that I’m speaking
But I don’t know what I’m saying

Cause every time that I feel like the world just got lighter
It seems like my muscles give out
It’s got nothing to do with me
It’s not even you, you see
It’s part of my chemistry
It’s this jealousy

And I’m hearing your voice
That you know it’s your choice
Maybe so
And I know it’s no use
But it’s the only excuse
That I know, no no

Let me go
Let me go
Oh let me go
Oh let me go

Now let’s be real I feel just like a child
Someone could be taking all my toys
So call me dumb, call me wild
See that’s the thing with little boys

Oh now I can’t get it out in the shower
Or drink it off at the bar
This sugar's gone sour
And it's gone way too far

Cause every time that I feel like I’m riding so high,
Feel on top of the world
The b*tch just keeps telling me no
It's got nothing to do with me
It’s not even you, you see
It’s part of my chemistry
This demon is killing me
And oh Christ it’s filling me
It’s this jealousy
Oh, and I just can’t believe
In this jealousy,
This jealousy for you
Oh this jealousy,
This jealousy for you



The Coolest Girl /Darren Criss
All my dreams
I'm chasing after,
they don't need
all this laughter...

I take a grain of salt,
stiff upper lip.
It's not their fault
I'm not as hip.
Wake up kid, you know you're more than this...

I'm the smartest person
that I've ever met.
So why do I allow myself to
possibly forget:

There's so much I know how to do,
so much more than all of you.
The only thing I wish I knew
was how to make them see
the girl that I can be....

I am
the coolest girl in the whole wide world
I know it
but can't show it at all.

I am
sick and tired
of low, not higher
places, where I should belong.
It's about time I proved them wrong...

Give me a shot
to show what I've got!
I'm a hell of a whole lot more

than this frizzy hair,
these frumpy clothes I wear,
though I rock 'em like nobody you've seen before

'Cause I am
the coolest girl in the whole wide world
I know it
below it all.

I am
done with losin',
on with choosin'

the coolest girl on the face of the planet,
the coolest bitch on earth, goddammit!
The coolest chick you've ever seen or heard!

So you can try to bring me down,
but sorry guys, I'm stickin' around!
I've thought about it, and I've found

that I am
the coolest girl!

... Yeah!


Not Alone /Darren Criss
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be

I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize

Baby I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh

Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through

The following is his performances of other songs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Part of Your World
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Proper women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be

Part of that world



When You Wish Upon a Star
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through

Moma when you wished upon a star
Your dreams come true

(instrumental break)

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through

Baby when you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wished upon a star
Makes no difference who you are

Your dreams come true



Your Song 
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen



Let It Be
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....




Can't Take My Eyes Off of You
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..



Go to the Distance
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a hero's welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while

When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though that road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
A hero's strength is measured by his heart
Ooooooooooooooooooo
( guitar solo )

Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its heart
I dont care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my heros welcome
Waiting In your arms

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find mt hero's welcome

Waiting in your arms




Make Em Laugh
Cosmo:
Though the world is so full of a number things,
I know we should all be as happy as
But are we?
No, definitely no, positively no.
Decidedly no. Mm mm.
Short people have long faces and
Long people have short faces.
Big people have little humor
And little people have no humor at all!
And in the words of that immortal buddy
Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead
To the guillotine:

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
(Ha ha!)
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

Make 'em...
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh
My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke
But give it plenty of hoke

Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall
But a wall
Split a seam

You start off by pretending
You're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'till they're
Giggling all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know... all the...wants..?
My dad...
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

Ah ha ha ha ha ha há
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!
