ABC's 1, 2, 3's (Interlude)/Happy After
Once upon a time there was a damsel
Where deep in the hood stood a castle
She often sit on a stoop watch in the ghetto youth
Do the things they do, oh
She dreamed of a day her knight would come through
With his shining amour 22's
To take her far away from the heartache and the pain
To a world she never knew
It's the same old story
Just another lifetime
Girl wants to be rescued
From all the hard times
You can be Prince Charming
I'll be Cinderella
Don't want a fairytale
Just give me happy after
For days on end she tries to pretend
Like with her there is nothing wrong
But although she tries
You can see the tracks from the tears that she cries
All night long
And she constantly wishes
for the house and the picket fence
and a big back yard
and she hopes one day that her prince will take her away
to a life that ain't so hard
It's the same old story
Just another lifetime
Girl wants to be rescued
From all the hard times
You can be Prince Charming
I'll be Cinderella
Don't want a fairytale
Just give me happy after
If I through down my hair like Rapunzel
Would you come up and save me
And if I'm in a deep sleep like the beauty
Would you kiss me to wake me
And if my step mother wont let me out of the house
Would you rescue me would you rescue me please
It's the same old story
Just another lifetime
Girl wants to be rescued
From all the hard times
You can be Prince Charming
I'll be Cinderella
Don't want a fairytale
Just give me happy after
Happily after give me after [Repeat: x 2]
