I WON’T SAY I’M IN LOVE (HERCULES, 1997)

“I trained all those would-be heroes. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. A lot of "yeuseus." And every one of those bums let me down flatter than a discus. None of them could go the distance.” – Phil

A fun sequence in Disney's take on Hercules, I Won’t Say I’m In Love is a charming song number when Meg (Susan Egan as vocals) is slowly falling for Hercules but tries to deny it. Cute.


I WON’T SAY I’M IN LOVE
sung by: Susan Egan

Meg:

If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

Muses:
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of

Meg:
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no

Muses:
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh

Meg:
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh

Muses:
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

Meg:
No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no

Muses:
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love

Meg:
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love

Muses:
You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love

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

Muses:
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love

Meg:
Oh
At least out loud
I won't say I'm in love
