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