 it seems like 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 twenty-one?
 and 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 and 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 of 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 'cos they know they're untouchable
 not because what I said was wrong
 whatever it may bring
 I will have 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 they're own words
 they will be exposed
 they've got a severe case of
 the emperor's new clothes.
