Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please be philosophical
Please be tapped into your femininity
Please be able to take the wheel from me
Please be crazy and curious
[Verse 2]
Papa love your princess so that she will find
Loving princes familiar
Papa cry for your princess, so she will find
Gentle princes familiar
[Verse 3]
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 4]
Please be a sex-a-holic
Please be unpredictably miserable
Please be self absorbed, much not the good kind
Please be addicted to some substance
[Verse 5]
Papa listen to your princess, so that she will find
Attentive princes familiar
Papa hear your princess, so that she will find
Curious princes familiar
[Verse 6]
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 7]
Please be the jerk of my knee
I've fit you always
You finish my sentences
I think I love you
[Verse 8]
What is your name again, no matter
I'm guessin' your thoughts again correctly
And I love the way you press my buttons
So much sometimes, I could strangle you
[Verse 9]
Papa laugh with your princess, so she will find
Funny princes familiar
Papa respect your princess, so that she will find
Respectful princes familiar
[Verse 10]
Papa love your princess, so that she will find
Lovin' princes familiar
Papa cry for your princess, so she will find
Gentle princes familiar
[Verse 11]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 12]
Please be strangely enigmatic
Please be just like my
