I stand in a meadow
The melody of her voice weaves
Subtle webs around me
I am held captive
By her searchlight eyes

Don't emancipate me
Don't emancipate me
Don't emancipate me
I'm happy where I am

Please don't free me
Please don't free me
Please don't free me
Please don't free me
Why?
Don't wanna be lonely

Don't wanna be free of
Don't wanna be free of
Don't wanna be free of
Love

So Mister Stove Pipe Hat Man
I hopes you understand
That I am held captive
By her searchlight eyes
And I'm happy where I am
