Be More Chill Soundtrack Lyrics

The Pants Song

MR. HEERE:

Jeremy

Is in big, bad trouble right now

It's a trouble that he can't see

And I gotta help him somehow

I don't know what he wants

But I know what he needs

He'll need a dad so strong

To help him not slip away

I haven't been a dad in so long

But I think I'm ready today

The situation is grave 

Now's the time to be brave

I'm gonna finally make that climb

One leg at a time

When you love somebody 

You put your pants on for them

When you love somebody

You take a chance just for them

Chance just for them

If the road gets muddy

Focus on the goal 'til the rough stuff's gone

When you love somebody 

You put your pants on

I need you

'Cause I do not have the tools

To help with what he's going through

And I know you know all the rules

MICHAEL:

But I'm not what he wants

MR. HEERE:

But you're just what he needs

And this might be hard I know

You just suck it up and go

When you love somebody 

You put your pants on for them

When you love somebody

You take a stance just for them

Stance just for them

If the fight gets bloody

Just pushing through 'til the rough stuff's gone

When you love somebody 

You put your pants on

MR. HEERE, spoken:

I need you to reach out to him! Jeremy won't listen to me and... can't blame him... but someone has to watch his back.

MICHAEL, spoken:

If I try harder to be his friend, you have to try harder to be his dad. There's a Kohl's right down the street, I don't care what kind: jeans, khaki, leather- You're not leaving that store until you buy a pair!

MR. HEERE, spoken:

You drive a hard bargain, son.

MICHAEL:

When you love somebody

You put your pants on for them

MR. HEERE:

Wear those pants

MICHAEL:

Somewhat reluctantly

MR. HEERE and MICHAEL:

Still you gotta go

When you love somebody you put your pants on for them

Metaphorically

MR. HEERE:

Or sometimes actual pants,

Real, literal pants

MR. HEERE and MICHAEL:

It's a classic study

Of the things we do for our best friend

When you love somebody 

MICHAEL:

You see it 'til the end

MR. HEERE and MICHAEL:

When you love somebody

MR. HEERE:

The conclusions forgone

MR. HEERE and MICHAEL:

When you love somebody 

You put your big boy pants

Right on

You put your pants on
