Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

My Baby

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
