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
