[Verse 1]
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

[Chorus]
And like a legend that rises and unfolds, I cannot be his only one

[Verse 2]
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to
(Whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to
(Whoa) like you used to

[Chorus]
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight

[Bridge]
Babe, I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo, so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo, so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?
For I do not think you low, though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low, though you bow to me so-so
I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour than you would ever think

[Verse 3]
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun
(Whoa) hot like that sun

[Chorus]
Just like a legend that rises and unfolds (Like a legend)
I cannot be his only one (His only one)
And like a callous, cold, callous woman (Like a woman who never sees)
She'll never know what she did done

[Outro]
So like this legend that rises and unfolds
I'll never be his only one

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
