Verse 1

 He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

 He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

Chorus 1

 And like a legend that rises and then falls, I cannot be his only one

 He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to, whoa, like you used to

 He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to, whoa, like you used to

Verse 2

 And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light, I cannot show just how I fight

 And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light, I cannot show just how I fight

Bridge

(Rap)

Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight

Carrying nothing except for a flashlight

You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window

You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window

Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry

Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry

For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so

I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so

I know you want to drink from the purest wine

But the drink is far more sour than you would ever think

Verse 3

 He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

 And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun, (whoa) hot like that sun

Chorus 2

 Just like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one

 And like a callous, cold, callous woman she'll never see what she did done

 So like this legend that rises and then falls, I'll never be his only one
