Frogs and Princes
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

The in and out of dating got me all cofused
I'm confused about the process of dating

I built up expectations and I'm feeling used
I had high hopes, but feel let down

Seems that everybody's into fast food,
People want things quick and easy

Everybody's into quick
People value instant gratification

I want some one to take the time fine dining not rushing
I want someone who's willing to invest time into a relationship and take things slow

Now it's nearly 7:30, I'm slipping on a dress
I'm getting ready for a date

I keep my fingers crossed, you're not like all the rest,
I hope you're different than the guys who have let me down before

So when you come to pick me up come right to my door
I want you to be a gentleman and come to my front door

Don't stay in your car and beep beep the horn
Don't be rude and honk your horn for me to come out

Baby I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a romantic at heart

You pick the sounds for the background to our drive into town
You choose the music to set the mood for our date

Baby don't be one of the traffic
Don't be like all the other guys

Had too many nights with the wrong guys
I've had bad experiences with guys in the past

Caught me at red lights
I keep getting held up in relationships

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss
How many bad relationships must I endure

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince
Before I find my true love

All you girls that are going through this
To all the women experiencing the same thing as me

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is
Speak the truth

Pull up to a premire, red carpet good
We're going to a fancy event

You take my coat, get my chair, like I hoped you would
You're being a gentleman

You're funny and your flirting is really working for me
I'm enjoying your personality and how you make me feel

But where it goes from here
I'm not sure where this relationship will go

Better wait and see
Only time will tell

You pick the view to kiss to
You choose the romantic setting for us to kiss

Make me go ooo ooo
Make me feel excited and happy

And baby it'll all turn out tragic
This could all end horribly

And you'll push for more
You might want to take things too far too quickly

Back at my front door
At the end of the date

More than I'm ready for
I might not be ready for that type of relationship

You gotta tip the waiter, that's how it works
It's customary to tip the waiter at a restaurant

You cant skip the starter and go straight to desert
You can't skip the necessary steps in a relationship

You've gotta pop the cork before you taste the wine
You have to take certain actions before you can see the results

Now make your man dash for the finish line
Encourage your partner to work hard in the relationship

up in a row cause the dating game is woah,
Dating can be a difficult and frustrating process

We get hooked up but the shame is
We get into relationships, but often feel let down

Too much connection followed by rejections
Getting too close too fast often leads to heartbreak

Gonna hurt a girl 'til she learns her lesson
I'll go through the pain of bad relationships to gain knowledge for the future

Oh, yeah yeah
A musical flourish to end the song
