Chell rises from a stasis inside of a glass box

She isn't greeted by faces,

Only concrete and clocks.

That's when she first hears GLaDOS,

A computer that talks.

She's told to leave the little room,

but has no shoes and no socks.

She trusted the computer

'Cause the voice sounded nice.

So she traveled through the center

And followed all its advice.

But when she starts tasting blood,

She started thinking twice.

It was the first time that she used the

Hand-held Portal Device.

She puts some holes in the walls

And the ceilings then the floors.

It was a weapon to create

Inter-dimensional doors.

Still, the tests keep getting harder

and she needed a break.

That's when the voice began to barter

with the promise of cake.

GLaDOS: Uh-oh. Somebody cut the cake.

#Chorus#

All alone and she's wondering why.

She has a bad feeling like she's going to die.

She hides from the cameras and begins to cry.

She'll never believe the cake is a lie.

Voice: Cake is a lie.

Turret: Are you still there?

GLaDOS had a wicked habit

of enhancing the truth.

Chell knew not to expect

to get to see end proof.

She had a sneaking suspicion

That the cake was a spoof.

Yet, she continued with her mission

on account of her sweet tooth.

Three tests to finish

She was nearing the end.

She met Companion Cube

And they became the best of friends.

But as with anything good,

This thing was too good to last.

She had to burn her best friend

To be allowed to pass.

GLaDOS realized her spirit

Was far too strong to break.

She had completed all the tests

And never made a mistake.

Her mouth began to water,

Her hands started to shake.

She knew it couldn't be much farther,

She could almost taste the cake.

#Chorus#

All alone and she's wondering why.

She has a bad feeling like she's going to die.

She hides from the cameras and begins to cry.

She'll never believe the cake is a lie.
