歌词

[Verse 1]

Yeah

One, two princes kneel before you

That's what I said now

Princes, princes who adore you

Just go ahead now

One has diamonds in his pockets

And that's some bread now

This one said he wants to buy you rockets

Ain't in his head now

[Verse 2]

This one, he got a princely racket

That's what I said now

Got some big seal upon his jacket

Ain't in his head now

You marry him, your father will condone you

How 'bout that now?

You marry me, your father will disown you

He'll eat his hat now

[Chorus]

Marry him, or marry me

I'm the one that loves you, baby, can't you see?

I ain't got no future or family tree

But I know what a prince and lover ought to be

I know what a prince and lover ought to be

[Verse 3]

Said

If you want to call me "baby"

Just go ahead now

And if you like to tell me "maybe"

Just go ahead now

And if you wanna buy me flowers

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to talk for hours

Just go ahead now

[Verse 1]

Said

One, two princes kneel before you

That's what I said now

Princes, princes who adore you

Just go ahead now

One has diamonds in his pockets

And that's some bread now

This one who wants to buy you rockets

Ain't in his head now

[Chorus]

Marry him, or marry me

I'm the one that loves you, baby, can't you see?

I ain't got no future or family tree

But I know what a prince and lover ought to be

I know what a prince and lover ought to be

[Bridge]

Said

If you want to call me "baby"

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to tell me "maybe"

Just go ahead now

And if you wanna buy me flowers

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to talk for hours

Just go ahead now

[Verse 3]

And if you want to call me "baby"

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to tell me "maybe"

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to buy me flowers

Just go ahead now

And if you would like to talk for hours

Just go ahead now

[Verse 3]

If you want to call me "baby"

Just go ahead now

And if you like to tell me "maybe"

Just go ahead now

And if you want to buy me flowers

Just go ahead now

And if you like to talk for hours

Just go ahead now

[Outro]

Oh oh, baby!

Just go ahead now

Oh oh!

Just, just go ahead now

Just go ahead now

Oh, your majesty!

Just go ahead now

Come on, forget the King and marry me!

Just go ahead now

Come on, come on, come on

Just go ahead now

Go ahead now, yeah

Just go ahead now

And if you want to buy me flowers

Just go ahead now

Yeah just go ahead now baby

Just go ahead now

多添一点：

今天分享一首Spin Doctors的《Two Princes》。

这首是他们最著名的歌曲，由整个乐队共同创作，出现在他们的第一张录音室专辑《Pocket Full of Kryptonite》中。作为单曲，它在美国排名第7，英国排名第3，加拿大排名第2。这两首歌都是由整个乐队创作的:Baron, Aaron Comess, Eric Schenkman和Mark White。看下乐队：

Spin Doctors，Chris Barron创立，来自纽约，成员包括Chris Barron（主唱），Eric Schenkman（吉他和主唱），Aaron Comess（鼓手）和Mark White（贝斯吉他）。当时他们的发型非常凌乱，很有另类乐队的感觉，因此被贴上了“另类”乐队的标签，这也有利于营销目的，因为这让他们听起来很前卫。事实上，他们是一支很受欢迎的摇滚乐队。

这首歌最初演奏的速度要比最后录音版快得多。当乐队开始录制时，他们把速度放慢了。鼓手Aaron Comess回忆说:“有些歌曲，当你找到了合适的节奏，突然歌词的感觉也出来了，很幸运，我们找到了这首歌的感觉。”

在这首歌中，Chris Barron扮演一位贫穷的王子，试图说服一个女孩，让女孩嫁给他，而不是他富有的对手。Barron在歌词中会经常描写小角色逆袭，他把能写出这样的歌词归功于他漂泊的童年。他在定居新泽西之前，在澳大利亚和欧洲度过了童年的一段时间。Chris Barron是一个文学狂热者，他喜欢《指环王》和《霍比特人》，还有高文爵士和绿衣骑士这一类幻想小说还有莎士比亚。他在19岁的时候写了这首歌，他说自己当时还没有走出童年，而他小时候喜欢巫师、国王、王后、公主之类的东西。

一位名叫Mickett Wilder的人唱出了后半部分“just go ahead now”这句的和声，他是贝斯手Dave Wilder的哥哥，也是乐队的朋友。他们都很尊敬他，Mickett引领了他们穿衣和说话的潮流，还成功的帮助主唱追到了女朋友。真是好兄弟！
