A Prince - Jorja Smith

1, 2, 3, check

1, 2, 3

Why am I gonna apologize?

What have I even done?

Why you acting like you lost the crown

If you were never wearing one?

Falling ever deeper, dealing cards now

Now you can't recognize yourself on the deck

I thought I was your queen of hearts

But all the aces stole the check

A prince, a prince

A glorious game

A prince, a prince

Checkmate 'til you stole me away

Cursing words, am I a pauper now?

Even though all my shoes do fit

Won't even let me leave the house past 12

I ain't no fairytale chick

Happy endings cloud your head now

You have put your expectations too high

Sit on the bed, tears running down our eyes

Once upon a time, I wonder why

A prince, a prince

A glorious game

A prince, a prince

Checkmate 'til you stole me away

Darling hold on a second

You know that your eyes and your smile are a weapon

Now come here, why won't you just listen?

You tell me I'm hurting your arm with my grip

See now trust me, but never trust women

Yeah they're perfect, I'm at home stressed

With this skunk spliff

When I know that you're out on the road being faithless

Does it make sense?

And my insecurities don't pay rent

But they're living with me

And this is a disease

We live in a man's world so what you expect me to be?

Now, now, now

Whether it's the shit sex or this limp dick

My reflection keeps telling me sick things

You know that I'm ugly

I hope that you want me, I'll make sure you love me

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]

A prince, a prince

A glorious game

A prince, a prince

Checkmate 'til you stole me away

No I've never been a prince, no, no

And I tried to be a king, oh Lord

Said I've never been a prince, no, no

And I tried to be a king, but I let you down, my queen

Oh you let me down, my king
