Paper Bag Princess Lyrics
Hey Elizabeth, don't raise the drawbridge darling.
I've been waiting a long time for someone like you.
For someone like you.
You hide behind your insecurities.
The paper bag around your waist
And the mud upon your face puts them above you.
But I still love you.
Cause I'm standing in my tin foil armour,
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Ronald break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
Hey Elizabeth I'm just a peasant school boy.
But I've been waiting a long time to hold your hand,
Or something like that.
I'm not a soldier and I'm not a king,
But I can play a mean guitar
And you can talk to me about almost anything,
Without worrying.
Cause I'm standing in my tin foil armour,
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Ronald break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
Hey Elizabeth don't think that I am ok
Cause I've got problems just like you, but I'm fine.
Cause you are mine.
If we put our faith into God above,
Then He will protect us both, and He'll keep us strong
As long as we have love.
And we've got love.
I've been waiting a long time for someone like you.
For someone like you.
You hide behind your insecurities.
The paper bag around your waist
And the mud upon your face puts them above you.
But I still love you.
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Ronald break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
But I've been waiting a long time to hold your hand,
Or something like that.
I'm not a soldier and I'm not a king,
But I can play a mean guitar
And you can talk to me about almost anything,
Without worrying.
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Ronald break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
Cause I've got problems just like you, but I'm fine.
Cause you are mine.
If we put our faith into God above,
Then He will protect us both, and He'll keep us strong
As long as we have love.
And we've got love.

hmm.. well i posted this song to get people to write bout it so they can tell us wat it means... obviously it has a significance to god in the ending but that is all i can get out of this song.. i love hello kelly they rock.. number 1 best song..
It's pretty simple bubs.
A guy meets a girl and it's a kinda awkward funny relationship, but they like each other. And they can make it through if 'we put our faith into God above'.
I love these guys.
um its actually pretty simple....sure its all about the whole God thingy added there but there was a childrens book written by robert munch called paper bag princess......
hey thanks tashamana, i read the book and it is all about it.. the whole elizabeth thing and ronald.. and he called her ugly.. makes a whole lot more sense =) thank you
Hey guys.. Im the drummer for the band. The song is about looking for love in the wrong places, and giving away your heart due to insecurity. Its based on the Robert Munsch book. Thanks guys for taking the time to post your thoughts! thats awesome and so much appreciated by us!
I love this story so much! I'm so glad it's a song, it's so true!
I think it's "but you give away your heart cause you think you're ugly"
In the video and some recordings, they do say that line instead of the Ronald one, but the one listed above is more popular.

I need to be committed to an insane asylum. Feeling guilty about my apathetic remarks postmortem has its benefits. And my ability to add up the impossible...don't question it!
