Sinead Oconnor lyrics : "THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES"

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 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 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
Whatever it may bring
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've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes

The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
