Princess

Verse I
When you were a little girl, baby 
You opened up a storybook 
Inside was the picture of a princess 
With bright blue eyes and golden hair 

And that's who the Prince Charming wanted 
And they told you it'd be that way 
If you only tried to be a good girl 
The glass slipper would come your way 

Chorus
This storybook ends in a mystery 
For millions of little girls like me 
Who dream of a princess 
In a satin white gown
With a prince on her arm 
And love all around
With a happily ever after - goodnight...

Verse 2
When you looked in the mirror, baby 
You noticed you were not like her 
You saw the face of a stranger 
Not the princess they told ya you'd be 

Alice traveled through the looking glass
Beyond a mirror of deceptive blue
What she found were games called reality
With puffs of magic that blow you through…

Chorus
This storybook ends in a mystery 
For millions of little girls like me 
Who dream of a princess 
In a satin white gown
With a prince on her arm 
And love all around
With a happily ever after - goodnight...

Ending 
You grew up from that little girl, baby 
Who believed in fairy tales 
You found out that Once Upon a Time 
Was a long time ago so the story goes

And the happily ever after never came 
And the girl in the mirror stayed the same...
