Wholesome romantic rivalry, positive message
Detailed Analysis
These are the lyrics to 'Two Princes' by the Spin Doctors, a lighthearted 1990s pop-rock song. The content is largely wholesome and playful. The song depicts a romantic rivalry between two suitors competing for a woman's affection — one wealthy and one not. Themes include romantic pursuit, loyalty, and the idea that love matters more than material wealth. There is no profanity, no explicit sexual content, no violence, and no drug or alcohol references. The romantic themes are mild and age-appropriate for most listeners. The line about a father 'disowning' the woman involves a minor family conflict theme, but it is handled lightly and humorously. There are no meaningful sexual innuendos or suggestive double entendres. The overall message — that genuine love outweighs wealth and status — is positive and constructive.

Lyrics
One, two princes kneel before you That what I said now Princes, princes who adore you Just go ahead now One has diamonds in his pockets That's some bread, now This one said he wants to buy you rockets Ain't in his head, now This one he got a princely racket That's what I said now Got some big seal upon his jacket Ain't in his head now You marry him, your father will condone you How 'bout that now You marry me, your father will disown you He'll eat his hat, now Marry him, marry me I'm the one that loved you baby can't you see? Ain't got no future or family tree But I know what a prince and lover ought to be I know what a prince and lover ought be Said if you want to call me baby Just go ahead now And if you like to tell me maybe Just go ahead now And if you wanted to buy me flowers Just go ahead now And if you like to talk for hours Just go ahead now Said one, two princes kneel before you That what I said now Princes, princes who adore you Just go ahead now One has diamonds in his pockets That's some bread, now This one said he wants to buy you rockets Ain't in his head, now Marry him Marry me I'm the one that loved you baby can't you see? Ain't got no future or family tree But I know what a prince and lover ought to be I know what a prince and lover ought be Said if you want to call me baby Just go ahead now And if you like to tell me maybe Just go ahead now And if you wanted to buy me flowers Just go ahead now And if you like to talk for hours Just go ahead now And if you want to call me baby Just go ahead now And if you like to tell me maybe Just go ahead now And if you like to buy me flowers Just go ahead now And if you like to talk for hours Just go ahead now If you want to call me baby Just go ahead now And if you like to tell me maybe Just go ahead now If you want to buy me flowers Just go ahead now And if you like to talk for hours Just go ahead now Oh Baby!
