  • I want you to love me
    That's all I want from you
    I want you to love me
    One day

    I know I'm a peasant
    Dressed as a princess
    But that doesn't mean you have
    To take my clothes away

    If I could show you
    Some happiness
    Then I would feel
    Like a real princess
    That to me would be success
    My baby

    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

    If there's a method
    To writing a song
    How come I'm getting it wrong
    You write the beautiful songs
    Baby

    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

    Can this really happen
    In this day and age
    Suddenly to just turn the page
    Like walking on stage
