pretty princess
loggins & messina
her lovely smile and golden hair
her tender lips so warm and fair
her time has finally come
she sees a chance to run away
she's found herself a friend
someone who's come to spend the day
they sit and talk of times when both of them were young and crazy
the silly things they'd say and how they used to play around
all at once their eyes are seeing someone whom they haven't seen before
his lips seem so inviting but she must keep on fighting for
she is wed to another man
she fills his glass with wine and asks him how his life is changing
she knows it's wrong to say but yet she hopes he'll stay 'til morning
he tells her that it's late and that he really hates to go
reaching for his hand she lets him know
their bodies start to tremble
she's fighting innocent desire
caught in the fire of a burning flame
lying in your cotton flannel gown
let me feel your moist and tender skin
lying in our bedded hearth of lust
soon the cinders tire and turn to dust
her treasure chest is locked away
