Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Hangin' around with the nicest boy in town. He's got a shiny golden crown.
Well you like that, dontchya? Yeah you like that dontchya?
You think you'll take a look, get him hooked and then you'll leave him on the shelf. Oh oh well...
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Talkin' shit about the moon and laughing all too soon,
You oughta hide that red balloon.
Oh but you love it dontchya? Oh you love it dontchya?
It's a dream come true, all eyes on you.
This cloud is lined with sold gold.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
You got eyes in the back of your head.
But you don't fool me.
You got holes in your pockets.
You don't fool me.
You got notions in your head.
You don't fool me.
You got things left unsaid?
Well you can say them to me.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
Baby go back to bed, you know my eyes are tired of green.
I've got the insight, it's not your god given right to be the queen.
It's not your god given right to be the queen, no.
IT's not your god given right to be the queen.
