Jorja Smith - A Prince Lyrics

One, two, three, check
One, two, three

Why am I gonna apologize?
What have I even done?
Why you actin' like you lost the crown
If you were never wearing one?
Fallin' 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
Of glorious game
A prince, a prince
Checkmate 'til you stole me away

Cursin' words, am I a pauper now?
Even though all my shoes do fit
Won't even let me leave the house past twelve
I ain't no fairytale chick (I ain't no fairytale chick)
Happy endings cloud your head now (they cloud your head)
You have put your expectations too high (too high)
Sit on the bed, tears runnin' down our eyes (tears running down your eyes)
Once upon a time, I wonder why (I wonder why)

A prince, a prince (a prince, oh a prince)
Of glorious game
A prince, a prince (a prince, oh a prince)
Checkmate 'til you stole me away

Darlin', hold on a second
You know that your eyes and your smile are a weapon
Now come here, why won't you just listen? (come here)
You tell me I'm hurtin' 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?
That my insecurities don't pay rent
But they're livin' 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 tellin' me sick things
You know that I'm ugly
I hope that you want me, I'll make sure you love me

A prince, a prince (oh a prince, oh yeah)
Of glorious game (hmm)
A prince, a prince (oh a prince, oh yeah)
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
