Prince Charming
(Johan Bengtsson)
Putting my mask on another night
I’m going out as Prince Charming tonight
Putting on my seducing smile
And you’ll be interested a while
Culturally, politically
Musically, ironically
Prince Charming takes you by surprise
And hiding behind the mask and lies
There I stand
But then you came and now I ask myself
Am I following a girl
To the other side of the world?
Is it something that Prince Charming would?
Is it something that I should?
Hitting the room like a flash of light
Everyone glances but it feels alright
Watch for the girl with the brightest eyes
Walking over as her eyebrows rise
Culturally, politically
Musically, ironically
Prince Charming takes her by surprise
And taking her out for another round
“Just tonight”
I thought, but now I ask myself
Am I following this girl
To the other side of the world?
Is it something that Prince Charming would?
Is it something that I should?
They ask me for my phone number
They ask me for my e-mail
They ask me for my address
If I’m checking my receiver
They ask me about after-parties
They ask me for advice
They ask me if I’m single
But all I can think about
Is if I’m following this girl
To the other side of the world?
Is it something that Prince Charming would?
Is it something that I should?
No, I’m not Prince Charming
Though I know I share his genes
But now as Prince Charming is charmed himself
The problem is obviously
If I’m following a girl
To the other side of the world?
Is it something that Prince Charming would?
Is it something that I should?
