Sometimes
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away a prince fell in love with a serving girl
And the lion laid his life down for the boy who had betrayed him
And the knight slew the dragon and the kingdom was saved
But I'm a cynic, I'm a woman of the World
And I know that life doesn't work that way
I know from experience the necessity of common sense
And the only one I'll ever put my faith in is me.
But sometimes I need to believe
When the World becomes too cold
And sometimes I have to give in
Sometimes.
Life is not a fairy-tale, the good guys rarely win and love, as far as I'm concerned
Is an unsettling distraction which always ends in tears
You don't often get white chargers round here
And two thousand years ago in the greatest story ever told
A hero came to save the World
And it hurts me now to wonder that when I believed he loved me
Was that the greatest fantasy of all.
But sometimes, I need to believe
Have to let the barriers fall
And sometimes I have to give in
Sometimes.
And those times I ride the dragon
And Princes vie for my hand
And I will live happy ever after
Sometimes,
Sometimes I need to believe
Have to let the barriers fall
And sometimes I have to let you in
Sometimes.
