Fairytale by Sara Bareilles
Cinderella's on the bedroom floor
She's got a, crush on the guy at the liquor store
'Cause Mr. Charmin' 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...
I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing
Next best thing...
Snow White's doing dishes again
'Cause what else could you do
With seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says would you meet me at midnight...?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair
Says "Would've to cut it myself
If I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
And keep away from the windows..."
I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing
Next best thing, yeah
Once upon a time
In a faraway kingdom
A man made up a story
Said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight
That's he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing
I Hold my head down
I Break these walls 'round me
I can't take no more
Of your fairytale love
I don't care
For your fai-ai-airytales
You're so worried about 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...
