Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want you to love me
And 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
My baby
[Verse 4]
I seen you dancin'
A natural beauty
You make this dive
Seem sublime
You really get
To the heart of the music
You're the poetry of time
[Verse 5]
If there's a method
To writing a song
How come I'm getting it wrong?
You write the beautiful songs
Baby
[Verse 6]
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Take my hand
Yeah
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon show me
To the love land
To the love land
[Verse 7]
Can this really happen?
In this day and age
Suddenly to just turn the page
Like walkin' on stage
My baby
Hey
