And every prince,
Who lives in greece,
Will tear themselves to pieces for this beauty.
Born of a swan.
Jesus don't be long.
Let her body sweat above mine in the summertime.
And was it she who wrote,
'Porn is woman hatred' on my overcoat?
Christ I need that coat.
'Cause it's cold outside.
It really shouldn't be this cold in summertime.
When she lies with me,
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent,
She still wears the suitor's clothes.
I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
And when the swan,
Coupled with the goose,
They conceived a holy beauty and they let her loose.
And she 'caused a war,
For ten long years.
By running off with me she 'caused her husband tears.
And those big clipper ships,
They're heading straight for me.
And I just want to kiss her properly.
All those big clipper ships,
They're heading straight for me.
And I haven't even kissed her properly.
When she lies with me,
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent,
She still wears the suitor's clothes.
I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
And when I stepped in her room,
With silver sword in hand,
She stood there semi-naked,
The sword fell from my hand.
She let the silk slip.
Gently fall from her hips.
And christ I want to kiss her,
Because heaven lies within her lips.
Oh when she lies with me,
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent,
She still wears the bastard's clothes.
I've lived a lie.
I stole a pretty bride.
During the summertime.
A pretty bride.
During the summertime.
