It's so boring day after day
They told me : "you have to grow up
You have to get married today
We'll choose for you, go on, man up!"
They sold me a fairy tale princess
She would be perfect for me
I believed the lies and the tales
I'm the prince but a fool to trust them
I turned my back and they laughed at me
IT'S SO BORING, DAY AFTER DAY,
HATE TO BE A PRINCE, CAN'T DO IT MY WAY!
IT'S SO TIRING, DAY AFTER DAY
YEAR AFTER YEAR, I CAN'T GET AWAY!
I HAVE TO GET AWAY...(bis)
At the beginning I was living a dream
Then she wanted only the finest
I was always out to find her the best
But in the end, she was never happy
All day long, she was always grumpy
The people became unfriendly
They hated me but she was guilty
New taxes, new jewellery
I gave them all the money
Bye-bye kingdom, welcome my liberty!
IT'S SO BORING, DAY AFTER DAY,
HATE TO BE A PRINCE, CAN'T DO IT MY WAY!
IT'S SO TIRING, DAY AFTER DAY
YEAR AFTER YEAR, I CAN'T GET AWAY!
I HAVE TO GET AWAY...(ter)
I just left on a sunny day,
Nobody noticed, no party for me
I wanted to find my destiny
Helping the others would be my duty
But actually, it was not that easy!
IT'S SO BORING, DAY AFTER DAY,
HATE TO BE A PRINCE, CAN'T DO IT MY WAY!
IT'S SO TIRING, DAY AFTER DAY
YEAR AFTER YEAR, I CAN'T GET AWAY!
I HAVE TO GET AWAY...(ter)
