The Emperor's New Clothes Songtext
von Sinéad O’Connor

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 that′s what messed me up
But he's 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 they′re 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 didn't mean to
But you know how it is and how a pregnancy can change you


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

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

Maybe I was mean
But I really don′t think so
You asked if I'm scared and I
Said so

Everyone can see
What′s going on
They laugh 'cause they know they′re 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 don't think so
You asked for the truth and I
Told you

Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor′s new clothes

The emperor′s new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor′s new clothes
