He's a very smart Prince, He's a Prince who prepares. Knowing this time I'd run from him, He spread pitch on the stairs. And I'm caught unawares. Well it means that he cares- This is more than just malice. Better stop and take stock While you're standing here stuck On the steps of the palace. All right, what do you want? Have to make a decision. Why not stay and be caught? Should I give that a thought, What would be his response? But then what if he knew Who I am when I know That I'm not what he thinks That he wants? Or, then, what if I am? What a Prince would envision? But then how can you know Who you are till you know What you want, which I don't? So then which do you pick: Where you're safe, out of sight, And yourself, but where everything's wrong? Or where everything's right But you know that you'll never belong? And whichever you pick, Do it quick, 'Cause you're starting to stick To the steps of the palace. It's my first big decision, The choice isn't easy to make. To arrive at a ball Is exciting and all Once you're there, though, it's scary. And it's fun to deceive When you know you can leave, But you have to be wary. There's a lot that's at stake, But I've stalled long enough, 'Cause I'm still standing stuck In the stuff on these steps Better run along home And avoid the collision. Though at home they don't care, I'll be better off there Where there's nothing to choose, So there's nothing to lose. So I'll pry up my shoes. Wait, though, thinking it through, Things don't have to collide, I know what my decision is, Which is not to decide. I'll just leave him a clue: For example, a shoe. And then see what he'll do. Now it's he and not you Who'll be stuck with a shoe, In a stew, in the goo, And I've learned something, too, Something I never knew, On the steps of the palace.

Książę mądry jest tak I przebiegły - to fakt Bym nie mogła mu uciec znów Wylał smołę i już I zaskoczył mnie ciut Czyżby do mnie coś czuł? Lecz jak to wytłumaczyć? Jednak dziwne to zbyt Kiedy w smole tak tkwisz Tu na schodach pałacu! Nie panikuj i myśl! Musisz podjąć decyzję I zastanów się czy Przyłapana chcesz być Bo uciekać ci żal? Ale co stanie się Kiedy on dowie się Że nie jestem tym kimś Kim by chciał? Z drugiej strony, kto wie? Sama nie wiem kim jestem Tylko ten wie, kim jest Który wie, czego chce A niestety, ja nie... Czy chcesz dalej tak żyć W świecie, w którym Ci wciąż czegoś brak? Zostać tu mogłabyś, Ale przecież to nie jest twój świat! No zdecyduj się już I coś zrób Przestań sterczeć jak słup Tu na schodach pałacu! Muszę podjąć decyzję! No tak, ale co zrobić mam? Fajnie pójść tak na bal I pokręcić się tam Mogąc wyjść w każdej chwili Super kimś innym być Ale gdyby czar prysł Już nie będą tak mili Muszę mądra być lecz Jak mam wygrać w tej grze? Prawie północ już jest A ja w smole wciąż tkwię Wkrótce zjawi się on! Więc czym prędzej uciekaj! W domu nie jest tak źle Choć nie znoszą tam cię To nie musisz się bać Że wybierzesz nie tak! Choć odchodzić stąd żal! Ale zaraz, mam myśl! Czemu działać mam ja?! Po co problem na siebie brać? Niech rozwiąże się sam! Więc wskazówkę dam mu I zostawię swój but! Drogi książę twój ruch! Teraz on, a nie ty Musi zrobić coś z tym! Będzie tu z butem tkwił! Nauczyłam się dziś Jak z opresji mam wyjść! Tu na schodach pałacu!

This is a stage version, as said in the description, so the lyrics are indeed different. Here is a vocal example of how it should be sung with this track: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UsspOBynnUU.html Hope it helps somehow. :) However, if it's still not right for you, hope you find what you're looking for elsewhere. :)
