verse

I have a saying, when boys don’t want to stay

you let them look and stare and then go on their merry way.

They’ll pull you close dear, a tragic little game

and then they’ll talk to all your friends - trust me they’re the same.

I was like you once, believed in fairytales

I had my prince, he took the jewels and ran right up the stairs

If you find romance, tuck it in your arms

hold it like a baby, sound all the alarms

Nowadays the kingdoms are gone, loves a “finish sign”

who can beat others? sign your name on the dotted line.

Don’t sign me up

I’ve done my time

Don’t call me when you’re brokenhearted, and he’s living on cloud 9

and when you’re dancing, with devils, with devils in a room

don’t forget this phase before people change, calling it honeymoon

I know the sky here, is purple in your brain

he’s playing cards dear, and he’s holding a spade

don’t fall in love dear, it’s a piece you can’t replace

and when he’s done with you, the battles are through, lay your hand he’ll lay down an ace.
