A lesser girl might have just given up
But I stopped listening to my mind
And still I summon the will to chase you
Like you've committed a crimeI just want what's mineSo I watched the sun
Through the dust off my tires as I sped my way to you
And I've told myself so many damned lies
Often times, I don't even know what's trueColor my baby blueAnd the light spilled out around us
So I wore it like stiletto
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Ain't this a princely ghettoMy fingers on your faded blue jeans
Where my eyes had already been, you're not too young
Don't be scared nothing's wrong
Did your mama say it's a sin? Just let me inAnd the light spilled out around us
So I wore it like stiletto
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Ain't this a princely ghettoDiamond and ruby and aquamarine
Sapphire, emerald and tourmaline
Opal and onyx and amethyst and you
A lesser girl might have just given upAnd the light spilled out around us
So I wore it like stiletto
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Ain't this a princely ghetto
