Karaoké Fairytale Sara Bareilles

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor she's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store

'Cos Mister Charming don't come home anymore 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 'bout the maiden though you know

She's only waiting on the next best thing next best thing yeah

Snow white is doing dishes again 'cos 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?

Oh 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 keep away from the windows

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 next best thing yeah

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

I 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 you fairytales you're so worried about 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

'Cos I don't want the next best thing

No no I don't want the next best thing
