Sinéad Oconnor – The Emperors New Clothes Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 25 Second

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

He thinks I just became famous and thats what messed me up
But hes wrong
How could I possibly know what I want when I was only 21?

In this millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But theyre twisted and they will
Never be
Any influence on me but you will always be
You will always be

If I treated you mean
I really didnt mean to
But you know how it is and how a pregnancy can change you

Ive seen plenty of clothes that I like
But I wont 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

I cant bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If Im your girlfriend or not

Maybe I was mean
But I really dont think so
You asked if Im scared and I
Said so

Everyone can see
Whats going on
They laugh cause they know theyre untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong

Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace

Maybe it sounds mean
But I really dont think so
You asked for the truth and I
Told you

Through their own words
They will be exposed
Theyve got a severe case of
The emperors new clothes

The emperors new clothes
The emperors new clothes
The emperors new clothes
