[00:04.965]He's a very smart Prince
[00:08.695]He's a Prince who prepares
[00:12.631]Knowing this time I'd run from him
[00:16.147]He spread pitch on the stairs
[00:18.543]I was caught unawares
[00:21.188]And I thought, well, he cares
[00:24.821]This is more than just malice
[00:28.488]Better stop and take stock
[00:29.347]While you're standing here stuck
[00:30.818]On the steps of the palace
[00:34.964]You think, what do you want?
[00:37.420]You think, make a decision
[00:38.876]Why not stay and be caught?
[00:40.816]You think, well it's a thought
[00:41.822]What would be his response?
[00:44.608]But then what if he knew
[00:45.433]Who you were when you know
[00:46.533]That you're not what he thinks
[00:47.838]That he wants?
[00:50.481]And then what if you are
[00:52.605]What a Prince would envision?
[00:55.116]Although how can you know
[00:56.032]Who you are 'til you know
[00:57.208]What you want, which you don't?
[00:58.382]So then which do you pick
[00:59.485]Where you're safe out of sight
[01:00.747]And yourself, but where everything's wrong?
[01:04.692]Or where everything's right
[01:05.785]And you know that you'll never belong?
[01:09.511]And whichever you pick
[01:10.535]Do it quick
[01:11.173]'Cause you're starting to stick
[01:12.608]To the steps of the palace
[01:15.033]It's your first big decision
[01:17.782]The choice isn't easy to make
[01:20.128]To arrive at a Ball is exciting and all
[01:22.530]Once you're there, though, it's scary
[01:25.318]And it's fun to deceive
[01:26.405]When you know you can leave
[01:27.454]But you have to be wary
[01:29.846]There's a lot that's at stake
[01:31.094]But you've stalled long enough
[01:32.240]'Cause you're still standing stuck
[01:33.603]In the stuff on the steps
[01:35.101]Better run along home
[01:37.463]And avoid the collision
[01:39.359]Even though they don't care
[01:40.744]You'll be better off there
[01:42.021]Where there's nothing to choose
[01:43.115]So there's nothing to lose
[01:45.515]So you pry up your shoes
[01:49.281]Then from out of the blue
[01:51.341]And without any guide
[01:53.956]You know what your decision is
[01:56.116]Which is not to decide
[01:58.483]You'll just leave him a clue
[02:00.791]For example, a shoe
[02:04.324]And then see what he'll do
[02:06.755]Now it's he and not you
[02:08.136]Who is stuck with the shoe
[02:10.072]In a stew
[02:11.628]In the goo
[02:14.036]And you've learned something, too
[02:15.834]Something you never knew
[02:18.358]On the steps of the Palace
