Gallant and righteous, eloquent and gorgeous Oblivious to reality as the years unfold You won't ever lose your version of the truth If it's a fairytale you want, it's a fairytale you'll get
Once upon a time you stood me up That's twice upon a time you let me down
I wait all day in a sparkling gown With my hair up, my make-up, and my tinfoil crown 'cause I heard my prince charming's making rounds And I know someday he'll come but today must not be the day
Prince charming called in sick again Turned down his knightly duties tonight Prince charming called in sick again Turns out he's sleeping at beauty's tonight
Gruesome and relentless, egocentric grump Oppressive and regretful and the years have come and gone Dishonest and unfaithful, kiss your lies goodbye If it's a fairytale you want, in a fairytale you'll stay
Prince charming called in sick again Turned down his knightly duties tonight Prince charming called in sick again Turns out, he's sleeping at beauty's tonight
Once upon a time you stood me up I shouldn't ever let you let me down
