Two Princes
Spin Doctors Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or excitement

One, two, princes kneel before you
Two suitors are vying for your affection, willing to do anything for you

That's what I said, now
Repeating the message for emphasis

Princes, Princes who adore you
The suits are both princes who are in awe of you

Just go ahead, now
Encouraging the listener to take action

One has diamonds in his pockets
One suitor is wealthy and can offer you material things

That's some bread, now
That is a considerable amount of wealth

This one, said he wants to buy you rockets
The other suitor is ambitious and wants to take you to the stars

Ain't in his head, now
He is not out of his mind; he is serious

This one, got a princely racket
The wealthy suitor has a profitable way of making money

Got some big seal upon his jacket
He has an official stamp of approval signifying his status

You marry him, your father will condone you
If you marry the wealthy suitor, your father will approve of the marriage

How 'bout that, now
Isn't that interesting?

You marry me, your father will disown you
If you marry the other suitor, your father will disinherit you

He'll eat his hat, now
He will be extremely disappointed and surprised

Marry him or marry me
The choice is yours, and the suitors are leaving the decision up to you

I'm the one that loves you baby can't you see?
The other suitor believes in genuine love and that he is the one right for you

I ain't got no future or a family tree
He has no established roots or wealthy background

But I know what a prince and lover ought to be
He understands the qualities necessary to be a great spouse and partner

Said, if you want to call me baby
Giving permission to the listener to show affection towards him

And if you like to tell me maybe
Encouraging the listener to express interest or uncertainty

And if you wanna buy me flowers
Open to receiving gifts or signs of affection

And if you like to talk for hours
Willing to engage in long conversations

Whoa whoa baby
Expressing surprise or admiration towards the listener

Whoa, just, just go ahead now
Encouragement to take action

Whoa you're majesty
Addressing the listener in a regal manner

(just go ahead now)
Repeated encouragement to take action

Come on forget the king and marry me
Encouraging the listener to move on from the wealthy suitor and choose him

C'mon, C'mon, come on (just go ahead now)
Repeated encouragement to take action

Just go ahead now, yeah
Final encouragement to take action, with added enthusiasm

If you want to buy me flowers
Open to receiving gifts or signs of affection
