Fairytale - Sara Bareilles
Cinderella'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
cuz I don't care
for your fairytale
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing
next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again
cause what else could 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
cuz I don't care
for your fairytale
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing
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
I don't care for your fairytale
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
though you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing
I don't care
I don't care
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
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
