Kristen Anderson-Lopez - We Know Better [Outtake]

Hello, little baby
You're princess just like me
But you're thinking maybe it's a pretty cool thing to be
But soon you'll see that everyone expects a lot from you
They'll say that there are things a princess should and shouldn't do
But you and me
We, we know better

One, two three, together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me

One, two, three, together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me

They say a princess is full of charm and grace
They say she always knows her place
They say a princess wears pink and frilly clothes
They say she never laughs or snorts milk out her nose
They say she's calm, they say she's kind
They say she never speaks her mind or freezes Nanny's big behind!

But you and me
We, we know better

You girls are in so much trouble when I tell your father and mother!

How come you can do that and I can't?

I don't know, I wish you could though

They say a princess is super duper sweet

She doesn't fight
She doesn't sweat

And you never see her eat

They say a princess doesn't climb and scrape her knee

They say a princess wouldn't freeze her tutor's teeth!

They say she's poised

They say she's fair

She never mentions underwear!

Or longs to see the world out there!

But you and me
We, have big ideas of our own
For the distance someday when we're grown

When I'm Queen

And I'm your right hand

You'll get to travel

Throughout the land

I'll tell them about my sister and the magic things she can do

We'll take care of our people and they will love

Me and you!
No one can tell us what a princess should be
As long as we're together
You and me

They say the princess, has strange and freak-ish powers

They say she conjures ice and snow within the castle hours!

They say that she was born amidst a hurricane of ice

That's why her heart is frozen

But the sister's really nice

But Elsa's cold

And awfully bold

What's more she cannot be controlled

She'll be our Queen or so we're told
But we know better

Anna, if you love your sister, you're going to have to lead by example

The kingdom is relying on you

Yes, Father

Your sister is your burden as well

They say a princess learns elegance in school

Chin up, eyes bright!

She's trains in etiquette and follows every rule

Spoon on the right

They teach a princess to

"Copy word for word"

They teach a princess to

"Be seen and never heard"

They say she doesn't dare or dream
They say she doesn't plan or scheme or go to any big extreme to reunite a princess team
But you and me

We whoa!
We know better!

Hey, Anna!

C'mon

Join us!

Oh, great

Elsa, please?
Try to be friendly
Just smile and say hi
Don't be defensive and look them in the eye

These kids are jerks

I know it's hard but your temper makes it worse They don't understand your gift

Yeah, they think it's a curse

They want me to stay mild and meek I'm suppose to turn the other cheek
But if one more kid calls me a
Wait for it

FREAK!

Elsa, what did you do? I'm so sorry!
You should know better

They say a princess one day will meet her prince
She must enhance her beauty

And maybe try some mints

(Hmm) they say he'll have royal blood in every vein, with noble brow and chiseled face

And microscopic brain

They say he'll come along one day

With royal inbred DNA

And change your life in every way

But you and me

We know better
