Searching For My Prince
[Intro]
Oh, the lights are shining bright, in this smoky little club,
I take the stage tonight, with a heart full of love.
[Verse 1]
I’m just a poor girl, singing my blues,
With a voice that can soar, but not much to choose.
Every night I’m here, pouring out my soul,
But the bills keep piling up, and I’m losing control.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m searching for my prince, on a white horse, you see,
In a world full of troubles, will he ever find me?
With these troublesome men, and an ex on the line,
Asking for money, but I’m barely getting by.
[Verse 2]
He calls me up again, with that same old refrain,
"Baby, can you lend me some?" It’s driving me insane.
I’ve got dreams in my heart, but they’re fading away,
I’m just a girl with a song, trying to find my way.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m searching for my prince, on a white horse, you see,
In a world full of troubles, will he ever find me?
With these troublesome men, and an ex on the line,
Asking for money, but I’m barely getting by.
[Bridge]
But I won’t lose my hope, I’ll keep singing my tune,
Underneath the stars, I’ll be dancing with the moon.
One day he’ll come, and sweep me off my feet,
A love that’s true and sweet, oh, that would be a treat!
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m searching for my prince, on a white horse, you see,
In a world full of troubles, will he ever find me?
With these troublesome men, and an ex on the line,
Asking for money, but I’m barely getting by.
[Outro]
So here’s to the dreamers, and the lovers who fight,
I’ll keep singing my heart out, through the long, lonely nights.
One day I’ll find him, my heart’s true delight,
Until then, I’ll keep searching, under the city lights.
Three Strikes and a Song
[Intro]
(Spoken) Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, let me tell you a tale...
[Verse 1]
In a smoky club, where the lights are low,
I’ve danced with love, but it’s been quite a show.
Three times I’ve walked down that aisle, oh so bright,
But each time I found myself lost in the night.
[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.
[Verse 2]
The second wore a smile, but it was a lie,
Behind closed doors, he’d make me cry.
The third was a storm, with fists like the rain,
But I’m rising above, I won’t live in pain.
[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.
[Bridge]
So I’ll sing my sorrows, let the music play,
With every note, I’ll chase the dark away.
I’ll wear my scars like diamonds that shine,
For every heartbreak, I’ll make it divine.
[Chorus]
Three strikes and a song, oh, what a ride,
Each marriage a chapter, but love’s been denied.
One ran away, left me in tears,
The other betrayed me, fed my worst fears.
But I’m still here, with hope in my heart,
One day I’ll find him, my true counterpart.
[Outro]
So here’s to the future, I’ll raise my glass high,
To love that’s true, I’ll reach for the sky.
With every heartbreak, I’ll learn to be strong,
And until that day, I’ll keep singing my song.
