Sara bareilles fairytale lyrics

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



Cause i don't care for you 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 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



Cause i don't care for you 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



Cause i don't care for you fairytales

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

Worry bout the maiden though you know

She's only waiting spent the 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
