Lyrics
When I was a little girl, I played a damsel in distress
I kept my blond hair long so I could always be the princess
Since the day you met me I think you fell for my show
Are you ready for revelation ?cause there?s something I want you to know:
Chorus
I never dropped my glass slipper
I am not here waiting in deep sleep.
Close the book, that story?s over, Fairy tales aren?t true.
So now if you really want me baby, Real Love?ll Have to Do.
If it?s not too late I?d like to introduce myself
Forget what you imagined, take that book and put it back on the shelf.
I?m independent, intelligent, and brave when duty calls.
And you can even lean on me. I?m not a storybook princess at all:
Chorus
I never dropped my glass slipper
I am not here waiting in deep sleep.
Close the book, that story?s over, Fairy tales aren?t true.
So now if you really want me baby, Real Love?ll Have to Do.
Bridge
You know what this means?You can put down your cape
If I?ve asked you to slay dragons for me?my mistake.
It?s who you are, not what you do.
I don?t want fairytales, I want you!
Chorus
I never dropped my glass slipper
I am not here waiting in deep sleep.
Close the book, that story?s over, Fairy tales aren?t true.
So now if you really want me baby, You know that I love you.
And if you really want me baby, Real Love?ll Have to Do.
