i went to see her dad for a sit down man to man
it wasn’t any secret i’d be asking for her hand
i guess that’s why he left me waiting
in the living room by myself
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf
she was
playing cinderella
she was riding her first bike
bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
runnin’ through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
dancin with her dad lookin up at him
in her eyes i’m prince charming
but to him i’m just some fellow
riding in and stealing cinderella
i leaned in towards those pictures
to get a better look at one
when i heard a voice behind me say
now ain’t she somethin son
i said yeah she’s quite a woman
and he just stared at me
and i realized that in his eyes she would always be
playing cinderella
she was riding her first bike
bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
runnin’ through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
dancin with her dad lookin up at him
in her eyes i’m prince charming
but to him i’m just some fellow
riding in and stealing cinderella
oh he slapped me on the shoulder
then he called her in the room
when she threw her arms around him
that’s when i could see it too
she was playing cinderella
she was riding her first bike
bouncing on the bed looking for a pillow fight
runnin’ through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
dancin with her dad lookin up at him
if he gives me a hard time
i can’t blame the fellow
i’m the one who’s stealing cinderella
