Sara Bareilles - Fairytale lyrics
rate meCinderella’s on her bedroom floor
she’s got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
’Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here.
Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood
for shame she says,
None for you dear prince, I’m tired today.
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you
keep me from dreaming
CHORUS
’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales
You’re so worried ’bout the maiden though
you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again ’cause
what else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says
will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says,
Would have cut it myself if I knew men
could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere
and keep away from the windows.
CHORUS
’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales
You’re so worried ’bout the maiden though
you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in
hindsight
But I don’t want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these
walls ’round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love
CHORUS
’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales
You’re so worried ’bout the maiden though
you know
She’s only waiting spent her whole life being graded
on the
Sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better
happy ending
’Cause I don’t want the next best thing
No, no I don’t want the next best thing.
