Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Prince Johnny, you're kind, but you're not simple
By now, I think I know the difference
You wanna be a son of someone
[Verse 2]
Remember the time we went and snorted
That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted
And we had such a laugh of it?
Prostrate on my carpet
[Verse 3]
You traced the Andes with your index
And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
All with sons of someone's
All with sons of someone's
[Verse 4]
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
[Verse 5]
Prince Johnny, you're kind, but do be careful
By now I know just when to stand clear
When all your friends and acolytes
Holding court in bathroom stalls
[Verse 6]
Where you pray to all to make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
[Verse 7]
But, honey, don't mistake my affection
For another spit-and-penny style redemption
Cause we're all sons of someone's
We're all sons of someone's
I wanna mean more than I mean to you
I wanna mean more than I meant to him
[Verse 8]
So I pray to all to make me a real girl
So I pray to all to make me a real girl
So I pray to all
All
All
All
