"Princess Of My Mind" lyrics - THE KOOKS

You set yourself up again,
Run back to New York city to sell your new fame,
With eyes that could cut down the laws,
But the camera will one day shoot you down,

Oh you're just a girl living inside a box,
So be yourself and dance,
To the beat of your own drums,

Oh, I should've asked you to be mine,
Oh, yes I think of it all the time,
And it's hard, when you picking up loose ends,

I met you when we were young,
Portobello was ours, but we looked back at the sun,
Oh and Tommy was the man who made the connection,
I still see him when I can, he always mentions you,

And he says the fractions in our hearts,
The lovers who tore us apart,
And I guess man, she did you the worst,

Oh, I should've asked you to be mine,
Oh, you're still the princess of my mind,
And it's hard, when you picking up loose ends,

Come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on,

She was from a family of excentrics,
It was hard for her, they never ignored her,
And her father would've loved to adore her,
But I do whatever I can, whatever I will to get her back to me,

Oh, I should've asked her to be mine,
Oh, she's still the princess of my mind,
And it's hard, when you picking up loose ends.
