I don’t want to sit at the head of the table I don’t need to be the lord of the house All I’m asking for is you and I to be lovers You don’t have to play the part You’ve already won my heart Let me say it loud and clear You have got nothing to fear
You belong to you and not to me Love shouldn’t take away your liberty You belong to you and no one else Let Love be a heaven and not a hell
I don’t want my shadow to cast you in darkness I don’t need my voice to silence yours All I’m looking for is you and I to get closer You don’t have to masquerade On a patriarch’s parade You’re nobody’s mannequin Bought for the price of a ring
You belong to you and not to me Love shouldn’t take away your liberty You belong to you and no one else Let Love be a heaven and not a hell
You contain a precious light Let me see it shine at night
You belong to you and not to me Love should never rob you of your liberty You belong to you and no one else Now let me throw my coin in your wishing well
