I was taught to behave like a princess
Wait for charming, sit still, don’t sigh
Placed at the top of a dragon guarded tower
So passive and lonely I lost my power
To ensnare men with words like ribbons
Letting the other girls keep the gibbons
I vowed only the bravest would secure my heart
The ones who knew that charm was an art
I would not let my token drop for a farmer
I wanted a knight suited and plated in armour
I was so grateful when you arrived
Declaring love of which I was deprived
On your noble steed with steel that shined
So I snuck out and left the beast behind
You showed me there was more to life
That there was glory left in the title, wife
Tournaments, feasts, the beauty of greed
You said I would be the field to sow your seed
Yet you saw a girl who gave you a thrill
And I got left with an ache and a chill
I nursed my wounds knowing you’d return
So I can teach you a lesson you need to learn
You can cry for my mercy, plead new prayers
Slaughter the dragon, ascend the stairs
Pound on the door and I’ll pretend I’m not in
Because my heart is what worthy men win.

I like ‘to ensnare men with words like ribbons’ a lot.
