Lyrics
I might come to you tonight, when street lights flicker shining,
or through the morning mist, running like I'm flying,
whisper loving things to you, feel magic in the air,
wear pretty, pretty ribbons, and thread them through my hair
Upstairs and to your bed, I am warm and I am naked,
light the fire of your desire, never let us see or fake it,
barest body, open heart, come bearing every gift,
like a concubine awaits your kiss, I won't let you resist.
Chorus
I don't want to be like Cinderella,
I don't want to be that girl,
I just want you to be my fella,
So, all you gotta do, all you gotta do,
all you gotta do...........s say you will------------
Slip beside you sleeping, when owls hoot homeward bound,
wrap myself around you, not making any sound,
watch the dawn slow rise, through the window in your room,
listen to you waking, as morning comes so soon.
You wake and stare in dreams, do you think that I'm a ghost,
not the girl in steamy café, who gave you half her toast.
Not the one whose hair you stroked, gave your address to, in the rain,
just the girl who longed to, find you once again.
Chorus
I don't want to be like Cinderella,
I don't want to be that girl,
I just want you to be my fella,
So, all you gotta do, all you gotta do,
all you gotta do...........s say you will------------
Ending Chorus
I don't want to be like Cinderella, I don't want to be that girl, no, no, no,,
don't want to be like Cinderella, don't want to be that girl, oh, no, no, X2
don't want to be like Cinderella, don't want to be that girl, no, no, no,,
don't want to be like Cinderella, don't want to be that girl, oh, oh, oh, oooohhhh......
