I have scored more than anyone before, but it's a dream come true to score with you!

Listen to me, baby, And don't believe their lies. My love for you is as real As my Nobel Prize

I'd like to see what you're about, maybe take you to a dance; But won't know if I should ask you out til I hear from my fans

I got tricks up my sleeve, And so you'd best believe: Be mean all you want, And I still won't leave!

I've got money I earned From malls and exclusive connections. One thing that I've learned: You cannot buy love or elections!

Out of all people in all the world, I'd like to ack-noo-ledge: You're 2nd best out of everyone! Number 1's Jennifer Coolidge
