Felt like Cinderella getting ready for the ball

Until I found out yesterday that you didn’t care at all

Now the clock strikes midnight and still I’m waiting for you

I know I’m not getting my glass slipper back because

You’re not my prince and my dress is a sack

There’s no more “bippity boppity boo”

When the carriage is a pumpkin and the driver’s a mouse

I better get back to cleaning the house

When the dancing is done and the ball is all over

You’ll be the one giving me the cold shoulder

Once upon a time, I was a princess in waiting

I dreamt about my life when I started dating

I thought my prince would be someone handsome and tall

I found a guy who got down on one knee

But he didn’t turn out the way that I thought he’d be

Love is a game not a fairytale at all

I thought it would be filled with joy and laughter

But this is the story of my happily never after

Everything was great when we were at the dance

You seemed like such a great guy at first glance

Now I see that none of it was for real

All of those lies I should’ve never trusted

But I see the truth and now you’re busted

Your true intentions weren’t that hard to conceal

You may be next in line to the throne

But if you keep acting this way you’ll end up alone

If I stayed, I might end up in the castle

But if you ask me, you’re just not worth the hassle

Once upon a time, I was a princess in waiting

I dreamt about my life when I started dating

I thought my prince would be someone handsome and tall

I found a guy who got down on one knee

But he didn’t turn out the way that I thought he’d be

Love is a game not a fairytale at all

I thought it would be filled with joy and laughter

But this is the story of my happily never after

What you did to me you’re really going to regret

There’ll be no riding off together into the sunset

I know I’ll love again, but not while my heart is in two

Until then, I’ll have to get over you

Once upon a time, I was a princess in waiting

I dreamt about my life when I started dating

I thought my prince would be someone handsome and tall

I found a guy who got down on one knee

But he didn’t turn out the way that I thought he’d be

Love is a game not a fairytale at all

I thought it would be filled with joy and laughter

But this is the story of my happily never after
