My city was gone

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
C´mon, c´mon, c´mon show me
To the love land
Can this really happen
In this day and age
Suddenly
To just turn the page
Like walking on stage
My baby
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
C´mon, c´mon, c´mon show me
To the love land
Can this really happen
In this day and age
Suddenly
To just turn the page
Like walking on stage
My baby
