Lyrics of The Emperor's New Clothes by Sinéad O'Connor
verse
It seems years since you held a baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after sunday
And I knew you loved me
verse
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 21?
verse
In this 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
chorus
If I treated you mean
I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is and how a pregnancy can change you
verse
I've seen 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
verse
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
chorus
Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared and I
Said so
verse
Everyone can see
What's going on
They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
verse
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
chorus
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I
Told you
chorus
Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes
chorus
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
Writer(s): Sinead O Connor
