My Baby

The Pretenders

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
