He wants to be
He wants to be
With everything under the sun
He wants to be
He wants to be
With everything under the sun
And like a legend that rises and unfolds
I cannot be his only one
He makes me feel
He makes me feel
Like you used to
Whoa
Like you used to
He makes me feel
He makes me feel
Like you used to
Whoa
Like you used to
And like a fickle flower
When it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower
When it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
Babe, I saw you walking
It was after midnight
Carrying nothing
Except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo
So low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo
So low at my window
Will you open the door for me
If you believe in chivalry
Will you open the door for me
If you believe in chivalry
For I do not think you low
Though you bow to me, so so
I do not think you low
Though you bow to me, so so
I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour then you would ever think
He wants to be
He wants to be
With everything under the sun
And she wants to burn
She wants to burn
Hot like that sun
Whoa
Hot like that sun
Just like a legend who rises and unfolds
I cannot be his only one
And like a callous, cold, callous woman
She'll never see what she did done
So, like this legend that rises and unfolds
I'll never be his only one
