I Won't Say I'm In Love
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
It's not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he's six foot three

Well, I'm not worried about our kids
I know they'll turn out neat
They'll be great lookin' 'cause they'll have my face
Great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet!

Well, I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
He's not as bad as he appears
He's got rhythm and a Ph.D.

Well, I know we can make things work
He's got good family sense
His mother was a frog from Philadelphia
His daddy an enchanted prince

The neighbors are against it and it's clear to me
And it's probably clear to you
They think value on their property will go right down
If the family next door is blue

Well, I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
I've got it tattooed on my chest




It says, P.H.R.O.G. it's frog to me
P.H.R.O.G.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Won't Say I'm In Love" from Disney's Hercules, specifically the section "I'm in love with a big blue frog," seems like a nonsensical addition to a song about denying one's feelings for someone. However, upon closer inspection, it can be interpreted as a clever metaphor for the fear and stigma attached to unconventional and taboo romantic relationships.


In the song, the singer claims to be in love with a "big blue frog" who loves them back. The fact that this "frog" is different from the singer's species is immediately evident, but the lyrics suggest that it's not as bad as it appears. The lines "It's not as bad as it appears, he wears glasses and he's six foot three" can be seen as a means of rationalizing the fact that the singer is in love with something outside of their norm. The glasses and height can be interpreted as traits that make the "frog" more human-like, contrasting with the visual idea of a slimy and small amphibian.


The second stanza expands on this idea by expressing optimism about the future and the possibility of their hypothetical children inheriting traits from both parents, which again highlights the fear of unconventional romantic relationships causing genetic abnormalities. Similarly, the mention of the "Ph.D." and "good family sense" can be seen as stereotypes and clichés assigned to certain professions and social backgrounds, adding to the message of the song about society's preconceived biases.

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
Who d'you think you're kidding
He's the earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey we can see right through you
Girl you can't conceal it
We know how you're feeling
Who you thinking of
No chance no way I won't say it, no no
(You swoon you sigh why deny it oh oh)
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
Girl you can't deny it
Who you are is how you're feeling
Baby we're not buying
Hon we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When you gonna own up that you got got got it bad
No chance no way I won't say it, no no
(Give up, give in, check the grin you're in love)
This scene won't play I won't say I'm in love
(We'll do it until you admit you're in love)
You're way off base I won't say it
Get off my case I won't say it
(Girl don't be proud it's okay you're in love)
At least out loud I won't say I'm in love
