My Baby

The Pretenders · Original Album Series [2010]

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, my baby



C'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby take my hand

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 you're walking on stage, my baby
