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