Album: Unwritten (2004)

Frogs And Princes

The in and out of datings
got me all confused
I build up expectations,
end up feeling used
Seems everybodys
into fast food
everybodys in too quick
I want someone
to take the time
Fine dine me not rush it

Now its nearly 7.30
I'm slippin' on a dress
I keep my fingers crossed
you're not like all the rest
So when you come to pick me up
come right to my door
Don't stay in your car
and beep the horn

Maybe i'm a hopeless romantic
You'll pick the sounds for the background to our drive into town
Baby don't be one of the traffic
Had too many night with the wrong guys
coming up to red lights

Tell me how many frogs
do i have to kiss
Before i find my prince?
Before i find my prince?
All you girls that are goin' thru this
Tell 'em how it is
Tell 'em how it is

We pull up to our premiere
Red carpet good
You check my coat
get my chair like i hoped you would
You're funny and your flirtin's
really workin' for me
But where it goes from here
better wait and see

Maybe i'm a hopeless romantic
You'll pick the view that we kiss to
make me go ooh ooh
But maybe it'll all turn out tragic
And you'll push for more
back at my front door
more than i'm ready for

chorus

You gotta... tip the waiter
thats how it works
You can't skip the starter,
go straight to desert
You gotta... pop the cork
before you taste the wine
Not make a mad dash for the finish
Line up
in a row
cos the dating game is (whoa)
We get hooked up
but the real shame is
Too much connection
followed by rejection
S'gonna hurt a girl
'till she learns her lesson
