If you treat me like a princess, I&#039;ll treat you like a prince.<br /> If you treat me like a game, I&#039;ll show you how it&#039;s played.

I feel like I've lived a million times
written in poems, a million rhymes,
but what I thought I'd never do
is find a love like I have with you
but I'm afraid you realize
that love is burning in my eyes
you tell me you can see it there,
so we build castles in the air,
now that I've let go of all my fears
I'll love you for a thousand years.
