The Frog Princess Lyrics

I met a girl, she was a frog princess
I guess I ought to make it clear
That I saw nothing through her see-through dress
Until she whispered in my ear

You don't really love me and I don't really mind
'cause I don't love anybody, that stuff is just a waste of time
Your place or mine?

I met a girl, she was a complete mess
I should've left her well alone, but oh no, not me
I had to see if underneath that dress
Her heart was really made of stone

You don't really love me and I don't really mind
'cause I don't love anybody, that stuff is just a waste of time
Your place or mine?

I met a girl, she was a frog princess
And yes I do regret it now
But how was I to know that just one kiss
Could turn my frog into a cow?

And now I'm rid of her I must confess
To thinking 'bout what might have been
And I can visualize my frog princess
Beneath a shining guillotine

You don't really love me and baby that is alright
'cause I don't love anybody,
I come and go through peoples love-lives
Your place or mine?

What are you guys like?? She the cow?? He 'never loved anyone'. He's a sociopath! She saw him for who he really is. End of.

Looking back on a bad relationship and realising the princess was a cow!

You don't really love me and baby that it alright 'cause I don't love anybody,

sigh Neil Hannon = genius

@Lazy_wolf_eyes He doesn't care or love anyone & goes in and out of people's lives. He's a sociopath and the frog princess saw him for what he really is.

Happy memories of '96 and my first encounter with Neil Hannon's music. I can't think of many reasons to be thankful for Chris Evans, but his support of the group is definitely one of them.

In case there are some fellow American fans unaware of the usage: it is common for the Brits to refer to the French as frogs. This is why the song repeatedly uses La Marseillaise and ends with a guillotine. Perhaps it all started with Neil finding a clever pun on a fairy tale...

I think it is about a man who has a fling with a french girl who he doesn't find particularly attractive nor interesting. He is interested in her because she claims to not have any interest in him. As he gets involved with her with the intention of having her fall for him, but instead he falls in love with her. He realizes that she will never like him and it breaks his heart. As a result he hates her for having hurt him.

My Opinion

It's the opposite, she don't love anybody. He's an englishman having a relationship with a french girl who doesn't care about him and anyone, he tries to get rid of her but he couldn't so he was threw away like some Parisiennes would do, may be he had tender feeling may be she just wanted sex. In fact that's a true story and he regrets now some cruelty in his words, like cow and guillotine but he was really brokenhearted

In a similar vein to Becoming More Like Alfie. About loose women with no morals. I love the following line it always makes me laugh!

But how was I to know that just one kiss could turn my frog into a cow?

I love how it's women with no morals. How very very sexist of you... probably right tho. ;)
