(Slowly)
Em G D Em
You've had yourself a thousand dreams, but none have screamed so long,
Em G D Em
Since you were just a little girl, you've heard the sweetest song,
G D Em D Em
Yes, you would be a princess with gold and jewels to wear,
Em G D Em
And a goodly knight to rescue you, the captured lady fair.
(Spoken)
But
who said I was one of the good guys?
(Fast)
Feel the earth beneath your feet, feel the wind in your hair,
Come with me and see the world, a world beyond compare,
Come with me and see the stars, grasp them in your hand.
Everything I have is yours, yes the world, is at your command.
Come with me and taste the wine, the wine of deepest red,
I will give you pillows soft, to rest your weary head,
I will give you bars of gold, servants at your feet,
Just say the world and it all is yours; give yourself to me!
I will make you beautiful, to turn the heads of men,
Helen launched one thousand ships, your face will launch ten,
The angels they will blush to see the beauty that you hold,
A thousand dreams and promises for which a soul is sold.
Would you know the sweetest kiss, that ever man could give?
Brush your lips against mine own, then you shall start to live,
Feel my arms around you as your heart pounds louder still,
Lose yourself within me as your body feels the thrill!
Electric shivers down your spine, give yourself to me.
I shall taste your sweetest wine, I shall set you free!
Feel my mouth upon your neck, a bite? Or just a kiss?
You know my wish is your command and your deepest darkest bliss.
Now come and sit here by my feet, accentuate your curves,
You have all that you could wish, and you truly wish to serve,
All I promised you shall have, all that you could will,
But don't forget that you are mine, you know I own you still.
