HE'S A VERY SMART PRINCE
HE'S A PRINCE WHO PREPARES
KNOWIN' THIS TIME
I'D RUN FROM HIM
HE SPREAD PITCH ON THE STAIRS
AND I'M CAUGHT UNAWARES
WELL, IT MEANS THAT...
HE CARES
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST MALICE
BETTER STOP AND TAKE STOCK
WHILE YOU'RE
STANDING HERE STUCK
ON THE STEPS OF THE PALACE
ALRIGHT, WHAT DO YOU WANT
HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION
WHY NOT STAY AND BE CAUGHT
SHOULD I GIVE THAT A THOUGHT
WHAT WOULD BE HIS RESPONSE
BUT THEN WHAT IF HE KNEW
WHO I AM, WHEN I KNOW
THAT I'M NOT WHAT HE THINKS
THAT HE WANTS
OR THEN, WHAT IF I AM...
WHAT A PRINCE WOULD ENVISION
BUT THEN HOW CAN YOU KNOW
WHO YOU ARE, 'TIL YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU WANT, WHICH I DON'T
SO, THEN WHICH DO YOU PICK
WHERE YOU'RE SAFE OUT
OF SIGHT AND YOURSELF, BUT
WHERE EVERYTHING'S WRONG
OR WHERE EVERYTHING'S RIGHT
BUT YOU KNOW THAT
YOU'LL NEVER BELONG
AND WHICHEVER YOU PICK
DO IT QUICK
'CAUSE YOU'RE
STARTING TO STICK
TO THE STEPS OF THE PALACE
IT'S MY FIRST BIG DECISION
THE CHOICE ISN'T EASY TO MAKE
TO ARRIVE AT A BALL
IS EXCITING AND ALL
ONCE YOU'RE THERE, THOUGH
IT'S SCARY
AND IT'S FUN TO DECEIVE
WHEN YOU KNOW
YOU CAN LEAVE
BUT YOU HAVE TO BE WARY
THERE'S A LOT THAT'S AT STAKE
BUT I'VE STALLED LONG ENOUGH
'CAUSE I'M STILL
STANDING STUCK
IN THE STUFF ON THESE STEPS
BETTER RUN ALONG HOME
AND AVOID THE COLLISION
THOUGH AT HOME
THEY DON'T CARE
I'LL BE BETTER OFF THERE
WHERE THERE'S
NOTHING TO CHOOSE
SO, THERE'S NOTHING TO LOSE
SO, I'LL PRY UP MY SHOES...
WAIT, THOUGH
THINKING IT THROUGH
THINGS DON'T HAVE TO COLLIDE
I KNOW WHAT MY DECISION IS
WHICH IS NOT TO DECIDE
I'LL JUST LEAVE HIM A CLUE
FOR EXAMPLE...
A SHOE
AND THEN SEE WHAT HE'LL DO
NOW IT'S HE AND NOT YOU
WHO'LL BE STUCK WITH A SHOE
IN A STEW
IN THE GOO
AND I'VE LEARNED
SOMETHING TOO
SOMETHING I NEVER KNEW...
ON THE STEPS OF THE PALACE...
