And she forgets why she came here
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
And I break these walls 'round me
Says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
And a dumb appreciation
And a better happy ending
Though you know she's only waiting
Says, "Would you meet me at midnight?", Oh
'Cause I don't want the next best thing
I don't care for your fairytales
On the sanctity of patience
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
I don't care for your fairytales
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Than have you keep me from dreaming"
Though you know she's only waiting
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him
Keep away from the windows"
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing, I hold my head down
Snow White is doing dishes again
'Cause what else could you do with seven itty-bitty men?
Though you know she's only waiting
'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
On the next best thing, next best thing, yeah
She says, "None for you, dear Prince, I'm tired today
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame
Spent her whole life being graded
On the next best thing, next best thing, yeah
The tall blond lets out a cry of despair
I don't care for your fairytales
But the story needs some mending
I'd rather sleep my whole life away
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
