Lyrics

I borrowed the dress from my cousin
And I did my hair and face for the ball
I sat on the stoop for an hour or so
But my prince never came, nor did he call

And I wish that I could go on
These days have been warm and lazy
But it’s back to pumping gas and pushing broom
‘cause no one but myself can save me

Chorus:
Have the walls of society come crashing down?
There’s creditors calling, no work to be found
But there’s a roof overhead and plenty to eat
Sleeping under the stars and begging in the street

Once upon a time never happened
There’s only the here and the now
And happily ever after
Is just a curtain call and a bow

And I wish that I could go home
To a place like my mama gave me
But I’m out in this world on my own
With no one but myself to save me

Chorus x2

I borrowed the dress from my cousin
And I did my hair and face for the ball
I sat on the stoop for an hour or so
But my prince never came, nor did he call
