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