Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want you to love me
That's all I want from you
I want you to love me
One day
[Verse 2]
I know I'm a peasant
Dressed as a princess
But that doesn't mean you have to take my clothes away
[Verse 3]
If I could show you
Some happiness
Then I would feel like a real princess
That to me would be success
[Verse 4]
My baby
I seen you dancing
A natural beauty
You make this dive
Seem sublime
[Verse 5]
You really get
To the heart of the music
You're the poetry of time
[Verse 6]
If there's a method
To writing a song how come I'm getting it wrong
You write the beautiful songs, baby
[Verse 7]
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Take my hand
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, show me
To the love land, to the love land
[Verse 8]
Can this really happen?
In this day and age
Suddenly to just turn the page
Like walking on stage
[Verse 9]
My baby
