You could have added Sunlight to my flowers Could have helped me See my finest hour Instead you chose To block light With your power From the safety Of your ivory tower And I won't look back when I go Only you and I will know Like water smooths Out the stone You stand tall On your throne I don't want to be ruled By someone like you You may have fooled them But not me You may have ruled Unwillingly I don't want to be ruled By someone like you I see right through you Like chiffon Won't let you hurt me On and on I don't want to be ruled I don't want to be ruled Games you played with me Day by day Stepping over Demons in your way I will watch with a smile On my face As you take your fall From grace And I won't look back When I go And only you and I will know Like water smooths out the stone You stand tall on your throne I don't want to be ruled By someone like you You may have fooled them But not me You may have ruled Unwillingly I don't want to be ruled By someone like you I see right through you Like chiffon Won't let you hurt me On and on I don't want to be ruled I don't want to be ruled Gotta make All these problems Gotta take What's not there And now I can't blossom And it's just not fair I don't want to be ruled By someone like you You may have fooled them But not me You may have ruled Unwillingly I don't want to be ruled By someone like you I see right through you Like chiffon Won't let you hurt me On and on I don't want to be ruled I don't want to be ruled
