The prince and the pauper.
The princess and peasant.
Perpetuating old cliches,
because aren't the differences pleasant?
Romance needs some room to play.
Fill in those gaps of mystery
with grandoise schemes and complex games.
Everyone's a winner.
The beauty and the beast.
The ******* and the tease.
The sheltered ones who live in dreams,
and the streetwise kids who do as they please.
Everyone loves a mystery,
but old cliches only capture so much.
Why do we need a conflict of different world views
to pluck the strings of our hearts?

The prince and the pauper.
The princess and peasant.
Perpetuating old cliches,
because aren't the differences pleasant?
Romance needs some room to play.
Fill in those gaps of mystery
with grandoise schemes and complex games.
Everyone's a winner.
The beauty and the beast.
The ******* and the tease.
The sheltered ones who live in dreams,
and the streetwise kids who do as they please.
Everyone loves a mystery,
but old cliches only capture so much.
Why do we need a conflict of different world views
to pluck the strings of our hearts?
