[Verse 1]
I'm a princess
And I think about the diamonds in the sky too often
Do you love me?
Or have things gone astray?
Mmm, buckets
Catch the dreams as they fall from my ceiling
And earthquakes come and go all afternoon

[Verse 2]
I'm a princess
And I wonder about my neighbors
Even though I don't have them
But they're listening to every word I say

[Pre-Chorus]
Back on the road, back down the road downtown
I don't have courage but I have something else
And it's more than words
I'm ridiculous, I'm feeling very particular
About my world

[Chorus]
Chaka Khan
What an interesting song
Tell me where I belong
Tell me what's going on, where I went wrong
And what's the message in this song?
Where are the lessons in this song?
Tell it to me once before I'm gone
[Verse 3]
Respect me, I'm a princess
All the soldiers that surround me
And make sure I'm lonely
Through the daydream, dreamed that it's okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Open the door, close the door
Got to get through the other side of the door
Open the door
Mm, there's got to be more
There's got to be so much more
But I don't know what it's there for
I don't know what we're here for

[Chorus]
Sometimes I think of it when I sleep
And I'm dreaming about my friends in need
Step into the machine and feel the dreams
And all the ingredients in the dream
See what makes them seem so appealing
Oops, there goes the ceiling

[Outro]
Oh, I'm a princess
Excuse me, I read that wrong, I'm a dunce
