Prince Charles - (Christine Lavin)

I never really knew him, but I was hoping that we might meet

I knew I'd find him very witty. I hoped he'd find me sweet

but somebody beat me to him, ruined all my plans

some little conniving wench went and stole my man

Oh Charles, Prince Charles.
can you hear my heart break
can you hear me telling you
marrying her is a big mistake
Oh Charles, Prince Charles
when you proposed she was just 19
don't you think that's a little young to be making her
England's future queen?

Yes I know she's pretty. Yes I know she's rich
but I read in the National Enquirer Lady Diana is a...
which I was very shocked to read, but hey, it must be true
'cause there hasn't been anything on TV about her wanting to sue

Woah-woah Charles, Prince Charles
you are making a bad mistake
in the bosoms of girls allover the world
hearts keep going break, break, break
Oh Charles, Prince Charles
she's not even 23 years old yet
and think of all the eligible women in the world
that you still haven't met

Oh, maybe you got panicky
thinking you were losing your looks
confidentially, Chuck, you got no looks to lose
or maybe you're the kind of cad
who likes to drive us women mad
knowing now we all have the
"i'm never gonna get to be
the future queen of England" blues

Charles, Prince Charles
do you have a last name?
I was going to ask you that on our first date
forget it, things have changed
Oh Charles, Prince Charles
any girl looks good when she's 19
but think about her 30 years from now
when she's an old and ugly queen
take a look at your mother, boy,
and you'll know what I mean
