I’m bored w ponies I want a stallion.

[Intro]
I had a dream that I'd always been yours (Mm-mm)
[Chorus]
My metallic stallion races off
But I'm chasing fast till I get on top
I'm the one he can't break off
[Verse 1]
I been dreaming of you
I been wishing that it's true
That you were made for me
I been wishing on a star
I been wondering where you are
To keep you close to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I been waiting for love, for your love so long
But I'm gonna be ready, gonna sing my song (Mm-mm)
[Chorus]
My metallic stallion races off
But I chase him fast till I get on top
Till his reins come off (Mm-mm-mm)
'Cause he acts so tough, but he likes it soft
Know he's scared of love, but all bets are off (Mm)
I'm the one he can't break off
[Verse 2]
I feel like I been a fool
I been thinking, "What's the use?"
'Cause you don't feel a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
No, my baby don't want, no, he don't want love
'Cause he'd rather be alone than have to open up (Mm-mm)
[Chorus]
My metallic stallion races off
But I chase him fast till I get on top
Till his reins come off (Mm-mm-mm)
'Cause he acts so tough, but he likes it soft
Know he's scared of love, but all bets are off
I'm the one he can't break off
[Bridge]
Ever since I was young, love had me confused
And now I realise that I been a fool
You know that I'd always stay
But you just keep running away
Now I see that you don't, don't wanna be saved
[Chorus]
My metallic stallion races off
But I chase him fast till I get on top
Till his reins come off (Mm-mm-mm)
'Cause he acts so tough, but he likes it soft
Know he's scared of love, but all bets are off
I'm the one he can't break off
