[01]
She changes plans like a president
Or Agamemnon back at Troy.
And I can't seem to influence her
I'm a helpless little boy
Selling apples to a goddess.
Yeah, the idea is absurd.
I am the tired prince
Caging this beautiful but dangerous Adarna bird.

[02]
She moves like lightning.
Maybe I should be thankful that
She just doesn't replace me.
Although she could at the slightest bat
Of her long eyelashes!
She's doomed so many boys that way.
And I should know because I'm here
Still wishing she would...

[CHORUS]
(Stay in one place) Stay...
(In one place) Stay in one place with me.
(Stay in one place) Stay...
(In one place) I'll serve you for eternity.

[03]
If this were *Bridge Across Forever*
She'd play a wonderful Richard Bach.
And if this film were *Basic Instinct*
I'd be the first victim of the attack --
Stabbed in bed amidst the passion,
After the credits fade away,
Clinging to my sanity,
Hoping that my heartbeat would just ...

[CHORUS]

[04]
If you're suggesting that I leave her,
I will amputate your leg.
Like Captain Kirk in *Star Trek*,
I'll work this out though I don't wanna beg
To have some say in her decisions.
Although it really is her life.
And though our script is all revisions
At least I'm sure one day she'll be my wife.
If only she would...

[CHORUS]
