lyrics

I'd torment you whenever I saw you
You were my farm boy and I was in love
I saw you there, sunlight dancing on your golden hair

What could I say, you looked just like a picture
I just pointed saying, "Fetch me that pitcher"
‘Twas foolish
But you said, "As you wish"

Then you had to go, you were seeking fortunes,
But you swore you would always make it back to me
Then I was kidnapped by some pirate
Why did you have to go?
And I said...

Humperdinck took me, I thought you'd left me all alone
Now I’ll never doubt you; here they come, we’d better run
You'll be the pirate and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

So I ran out to the fire swamp with you
Tried to keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
I’ll close my eyes... avoid the rodents of unusual size

But at the other end the evil Prince was waiting
Humperdinck said, "Get away from Buttercup"
But you were everything to me,
and I was begging him, "Let him go"
So I said…

Humperdinck, take me and leave him alone
I'll come quietly; promise you I’ll never run
You are my prince and I'll be your princess
It's a love story, baby, I’ll say "Yes"

Westley, please save me, I just don't know what to do
I don't love Humperdinck, I’m so screwed
I’m so afraid, will we make it out of this mess?
It's a love story, baby, please say, "Yes"


I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
Then I saw you on that bed, lying down
And you said...

“Buttercup, gently, I've been mostly dead all day
I came for you, all you had to do was wait
Help me out of bed, this jerk has got to go”
You picked up your sword and stood on your own
and said…

“To the pain, Humperdinck / You warthog-faced buffoon"
The prince dropped his sword, he won't be getting married soon
We tied him to a chair and rode off in the sunset
That’s our love story, baby, we said Yes
