She lives inside a fairy tale
But her life is hard as nails
Dreaming is all that can save her
Wrong side of the tracks he lives
Broke and scared it's come to this
Pouring this salt
On their wounds now

They know that sometimes
It's rough
They live on a kiss
And a touch he's -

The prince of paupers
To her
He's everything
He's her shining armor
With the power that it brings
He's the prince that loves her
No matter what they own and
Her heart will be his home

He can feel her tears at night
She wants to have a princess life
Always in love is their passion
They don't come from pedigree
A silver spoon ain't what they need
A wing and a prayer's
How they're livin'

The look I see in their eyes
Is something money can't buy
It's all for love

The prince of paupers
To her
He's everything
He's her shining armor
With the power that it brings
He's the prince that loves her
No matter what they own and
Her heart will be his home
