Cinderella, you never got your chance
You blew the evening on a single dance
You lost your slipper on the way out
And you didn't even give the prince your name
So he could help you out of the attic
Cinderella, you're still walking in glass shoes
Careful, they might break, and then you would lose
Stupid timed enchantments never work out
You missed the midnight deadline
There goes the dress and the carriage
Cinderella, where's your godmother now?
Where's a fairy who'll wash the sorrow down?
You're all alone again
The dance is over, and the only memory
Is the single glass slipper you've got left
Cinderella, why shouldn't you get to love?
Why should you sleep in an attic and wear rubber gloves?
It isn't fair that the world's will is against you
Your first love will never find you now
What's a girl to do?
Cinderella, dreams come true
Look, the prince's servant has finally found you
You'll never cry another tear
You're going to live in a crystal palace
Shouldn't you be happy now?
