The Emperor's New Clothes - Sinead O'Connor

It seems like years since you held the baby

While I wrecked the bedroom

You said it was dangerous after Sunday

And I knew you loved me

He thinks I just became famous

And that's what messed me up

But he's wrong, how could I possibly know what I want

When I was only twenty-one?

And there's millions of people

To offer advice and say how I should be

But they're twisted and they will never be

Any influence on me but you will always be

You will always be

If I treated you mean

I really didn't mean to

But you know how it is

And how a pregnancy can change you

I see plenty of clothes that I like

But I won't go anywhere nice for a while

All I want to do is just sit here

And write it all down and rest for a while

I can't bear to be in another city

One where you are not

I would return to nothing without you

If I'm your girlfriend or not

Maybe, I was mean

But I really don't think so

You asked if I'm scared

And I said so

Everyone can see what's going on

They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable

Not because what I said was wrong

Whatever it may bring

I will live by my own policies

I will sleep with a clear conscience

I will sleep in peace

Maybe, it sounds mean

But I really don't think so

You asked for the truth

And I told you

Through their own words

They will be exposed

And they got a severe case of

The Emperor's new clothes

The Emperor's new clothes

Emperor's new clothes

The Emperor's new clothes
