Lyrics for 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 Umm, 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 My baby, hey
