I had a girl, a real-life princess
With a crown upon her head
But man, she was complicated
Like a Barrel I couldn't ride instead
She'd boss me around, like a tyrant on her throne
I needed an escape, a place where I could find my own zone
She'd demand attention, like a diva on a red carpet
But I had my sights set on the waves, where I could truly depart
Her high-maintenance ways were just too much to bear
So I left her behind, grabbed my surfboard, and said, See ya
I traded her princess demands for the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom, where I found my fun
No more complicated rules, no more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves, feeling like a wave-riding wise guy
She wanted things her way, like a royal decree
But I needed simplicity, like a coconut falling from a tree
She'd complain about sand in her shoes like it was a royal crime
But I found solace in the ocean, where the waves danced in time
Life's too short to be feeling all fussy
I bid her adieu, with a wink and a smile
Off to ride the waves, where I could be wild
Her bossy nature couldn't hold me back anymore
I left it all behind, caught the biggest wave and soared
I traded her princess demands for the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom, where I found my fun
No more complicated rules, no more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves, feeling like a wave-riding wise guy
I traded her princess demands for the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom, where I found my fun
No more complicated rules, no more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves and said goodbye
