Prince Charming

Hello, Prince charming, what'ya looking at me for this time?
Heaven knows you've hurt me, used me, lied to me, bruised me,
More than most men I know
You used to have something no other bachelor in this town could flash
Charming wits and interesting conversations
And those big blue eyes

But I've seen a few more men now, than when I used to hang out with you
I'm a little older, I'm a little wiser, but you seem much the same
Is that why you play so bad?
Those ace on your hand
Diluted into threes and fours
And you are not so outstanding, now compared to the rest of the world

And all the women with substance have gone away
Gone to see the world, while you chose to stay
In this safe little town where you could have anyone with just a clap of your hand
I see you're stuck with a lovesick seventeen-year-old
You couldn't leave her, cuz you'd be all alone
And she's so pretty, but still just a shell
You wish someone older, more secure of herselfWould look at you like they used to do, but they've all gone away.

Hello, Prince Charming, what'ya drooling at me for this time?
Has your lover hurt you, used you, lied to you, bruised you
More than you thought she could

You seem to believe I'll be easy to get like I was when I was seventeen
But I'm a little older, I'm a little wiser, and you seem much the same
Is that why you play so bad?
Those ace on your hand
Diluted into threes and fours
And you are not so outstanding, now compared to the rest of the world

And all the women with substance have gone away…

You don't seem to do much to better yourself or expand your repertoire
So you got a new house, you got a new car, but you seem much the same
Is that why you play so bad?
Those ace on your hand
Diluted into threes and fours
And you are not so outstanding, now I compare you to the rest of the world

And all the women with substance have gone away
Gone to see the world, while you chose to stay
In this safe little town where you could have anyone with just a clap of your hand
And now you're stuck with a lovesick seventeen-year-old
You'll never leave her, cuz you'd be all alone
And she sure is pretty, and she sure keeps you warm
And you sure got what you settled for
And looking at you like I used to do, I'm glad I got away.
