The Emperor's New Clothes - 7" Mix
It seems years since you held the baby while I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday, and I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous, and that's what messed me up
But he's wrong, how could I possibly know what I want
When I was only 21?
There's millions of people to offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted and they will never be
Any influence on me, but you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean, I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is, and how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here, and write it all down, rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city one where you are not
I would return to nothing without you if I'm your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean, but I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared and I said so
Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
It might be brave, I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience, I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean, but I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you
Through their own words, they will be exposed
They got a severe case of the emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
You said it was dangerous after Sunday, and I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous, and that's what messed me up
But he's wrong, how could I possibly know what I want
When I was only 21?
There's millions of people to offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted and they will never be
Any influence on me, but you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean, I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is, and how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here, and write it all down, rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city one where you are not
I would return to nothing without you if I'm your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean, but I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared and I said so
Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
It might be brave, I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience, I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean, but I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you
Through their own words, they will be exposed
They got a severe case of the emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
