About I Won't Say (I'm in Love)

"I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist David Zippel for Walt Disney Pictures' 35th animated feature film Hercules (1997). Included on the film's soundtrack, the song is performed by American actress and singer Susan Egan in her role as Meg, the film's heroine and Hercules' love interest, while singers Cheryl Freeman, Lillias White, Vaneese Y. Thomas, LaChanze and Roz Ryan provide girl group-style backup vocals as the Muses. "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" is a mid-tempo R&B and doo-wop ballad reminiscent of the 1950s music that incorporates elements of Motown music and teen pop. Similar in style to songs recorded by American girl groups The Ronettes and The Supremes, its lyrics are about denying having romantic feelings for someone and parody those of traditional love songs. In its accompanying musical sequence, Meg realizes that she has reluctantly begun to fall in love with Hercules but constantly refuses to admit this. Meanwhile, the Muses insist that she stop denying her feelings for him and embrace them instead. "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" was written to replace a slower, more emotional ballad Menken had originally intended for Meg, entitled "I Can't Believe My Heart"; the song was discarded because Meg's animator Ken Duncan felt that it did not complement her strong personality. Menken based "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" on songs he had written for his musical Little Shop of Horrors (1982). more »

If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess, I've already won that
No man is worth the agrivation
That's ancient history
Been there, done that

Who'd ya think you're kidding?
He's the earth and heaven to ya
Try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through ya
Girl ya can't conceal it
We know how you're feelin', who you're thinking of

No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh oh
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when ya start out
My head is screaming, "Get a grip, girl!
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!" Ooh, ooh

You keep on denying,who you are and how you're feelin'
Baby, we're not lying, hone we saw ya hit the cieling
Face it like a grown up
When ya gonna own up that ya got, got, got it back?

Woah
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
Give up, give in
Check the grin, you're in love!
You're doing flips read our lips, you're in love

You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it

No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
Give up, give in
Check the grin, you're in love!
The scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love
You're doing flips read our lips, you're in love

You're way off base
I won't say it
Girl, don't be proud
It's okay, you're in love

No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
Give up, give in
Check the grin, you're in love!
The scene won't play
I won't say, I’m in love

Ooh
At least out loud
I won't say, I'm in love
Sha la, la, la, la, la
(Sigh)
