Get'cha Head In The Game

What I've Been Looking For(Sharpay And Ryan)

What I've Been Looking For(Troy And Gabriella)

Stick To The Status Quo

[ZEKE:]
You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll.
But I've got a confession,
My own secret obsession,
And it's making me lose control.

[JOCKS:]
Everybody gather 'round

[ZEKE:]
"If Troy can tell his secret, then I can tell mine...I bake.

[JOCK 1:]
"What?!"

[ZEKE:]
"I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy!"

[JOCKS:]
Not another sound!

[ZEKE:]
"Someday I hope to make a perfect creme brulee."

[JOCKS:]
No, no, no, noooooooooooo!
No, no, no;
Stick to the stuff you know.
If you wanna be cool,
Follow one simple rule;
Don't mess with the flow, no no.
Stick to the status quo!

[MARTHA COX:]
Look at me,
And what do you see?
Intelligence beyond compare.
But inside, I am stirring;
Something strange is occuring.
It's a secret I need to share.

[BRAINIACS:]
Open up, dig way down deep

[MARTHA:]
"Hip-hop is my passion! I love to pop, and lock, and jam, and break...!"

[BRAINIAC #1:]
"Is that even legal?"

[BRAINIACS:]
Not another peep!

[MARTHA:]
"It's just dancing! Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework."

[BRAINIACS:]
No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no;
Stick to the stuff you know.
It is better by far
To keep things as they are.
Don't mess with the flow, no no.
Stick to the status quo!

[SKATERDUDE:]
Listen well!
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny.
Dude, there's no explanation
For this awesome sensation,
But I'm ready to let it fly.

[DUDES & DUDETTES:]
Speak your mind, and you'll be heard.

[SKATERDUDE:]
"Alright, if Troy wants to be a singer, then I'm comin' clean. I play the CELLO!"

[DUDE 1:]
"Awesome!"

[DUDE 2:]
"What is it?" (Skaterdude mimes) "A saw!"

[SKATERDUDE:]
"No, dude, it's like a giant violin!"

[DUDE & DUDETTES:]
Not another word!

[DUDE 2:]
"Do you have to wear a costume?"

[SKATERDUDE:]
"Coat and tie!"

[DUDES & DUDETTES:]
No, no, no, noooooooooooo
No, no, no;
Stick to the stuff you know.
If you wanna be cool,
Follow one simple rule;
Don't mess with the flow, no no.
Stick to the status quooooooooo.

[JOCKS, BRAINIACS & DUDES:]
No, no, no;
Stick to the stuff you know.
It is better by far
To keep things as they are.
Don't mess with the flow, no no.
Stick to the status quo.

[SHARPAY:]
This is not what I want.
This is not what I planned.
And I just gotta say,
I do not understand.
Something is really...

[RYAN:]
Something's not righ!

[SHARPAY:]
...Really wrong

[BOTH:]
And we gotta get things
Back where they belong
We can do it
[SKATERDUDE:]
Gotta play

[DUDES & DUDETTES:]
Stick with what you know

[SHARPAY & RYAN:]
We can do it

[MARTHA COX:]
Hip hop hooray

[BRAINIACS:]
She has got to go

[SHARPAY & RYAN:]
We can do it

[ZEKE:]
Creme Brule

[JOCKS:]
Keep your voice down low

[JOCKS, BRAINIACS, DUDES & DUDETTES:]
Not another peep
No, not another word
No, not another sound
No

[SHARPAY:]
Everybody quiet

"Why is everybody staring at you?"

"Not me! You!"

"Because of the callbacks? I can't have everybody staring at me, I really can't!"

[JOCKS, BRAINIACS, DUDES & DUDETTES:]
Nooooooooooo, no, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rool
Don't mess with the flow, oh no
Stick to the status quoooooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status
Stick to the status
Stick to the status quo

When There Was Me And You

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside.
I'm standing here,
But all I want is to be over there.
Why did I let myself belive
Miracles could happen?
'Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care.

[CHORUS #1:]
I thought you were my fairy tale,
My dream when I'm not sleeping,
A wish upon a star that's coming true.
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth,
When there was me and you.

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing.
And when you smiled,
You made me feel
Like I could sing along.
But then you went and changed the words;
Now my heart is empty.
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song.

[CHORUS #2:]
Now, I know you're not a fairytale,
And dreams are meant for sleeping,
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true.
'Cause now, even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth,
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you.

I can't believe that I could be so blind.
It's like you were floating
While I was falling,
And I didn't mind,
Because I liked the view.
I thought you felt it too,
When there was me and you.

It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me

Thought I was alone
With no one to hold

[BOTH:]
But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

[CHORUS]
[BOTH:]
I've never had someone
That knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone
As good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before
I finally found
What I've been looking for

[GABRIELLA:]
Ohhh, ohhh

[RYAN:]
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see

[BOTH:]
You were always there
Beside me.
Thought I was alone,
With no one to hold;
But you were always
Right beside me.

[SHARPAY:]
This feeling's like no other.

[BOTH:]
I want you to know:

[CHORUS:]
I've never had someone
That knows me like you do,
The way you do.
I've never had someone
As good for me as you;
No one like you.
So lonely before;
I finally found
What I've been looking for.

[SHARPAY:]
So good to be seen;
So good to be heard.

[BOTH:]
Don't have to say a word

For so long I was lost;
So good to be found.

[Chorus]

[BOTH:]
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
A-whoa, oh, oh, oh
(repeat 2x)

Coach said to fake right
And break left.
Watch out for the pick
And keep an eye on defense.
Gotta run the give and go,
Take the ball to the hole,
And don't be afraid
To shoot the outside "J".

Uh, just keep ya head in the game.
Uh, just keep ya head in the game,

And don't be afraid
To shoot the outside "J".
Uh, just keep ya head in the game.

[CHORUS #1]
U gotta
Get'cha, get'cha head in the game
We gotta
Get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game
(repeat 3x)

Let's make sure
That we get the rebound,
'Cause when we get it,
Then the crowd will go wild.
A second chance,
Gotta grab it and go.
Maybe this time
We'll hit the right notes.

Wait a minute;
It's not the time or place.
Wait a minute;
Get my head in the game.
Wait a minute;
Get my head in the game.
Wait a minute;
Wait a minute.

[CHORUS #2:]
I gotta
Get my, get my head in the game
You gotta
Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
(repeat 3x)

Why am I feeling so wrong?
My head's in the game,
But my heart's in the song.
She makes this feel so right.

[SPOKEN:]
Should I go for it?
Ah, I better shake this. Yikes!

[Chorus #2] (repeat 4x)
