I'd spit into your smug expressions
But I can't behave like that
You see, I'm the princes beautiful bride
And to think you called me fat!
You called me ugly, a worthless dog
Take a look at me now and see!
Is this the face of a worthless dog
Or a girl who's finally happy?
You made my life a living hell
Forced me to cook and clean
Who'd have thought that slave of yours
Would one day be a queen?
You dressed yourself in silk and gold
Clad me in nothing but rags
When your going hungry and cold
Each day of torment drags
When they announced the prince's ball
You laughed at me when I cried
That I should like to go there too
Instead I was locked inside
I laughed with heartless gaiety
When I saw you look surprised!
I turned up in a gown of silk
And by the prince was prized
Although I should have love for you
For you my heart is ice
When I said you'd regret it one day
You should have followed my advice!
I warned you I was a fighter
I'd take the hits you gave
I stoically took all your scorn
Pretended to be brave
Deep down inside it hurt
To know how little I meant
You delighted in your spite
My strength was all but spent
Until that dark luxurious night
When I stole the princes heart
I saw you watching as we danced
Into a fresh new start
I knew someday my prince would come
But I didn't know how or when
So bow before me dear sisters
And bow and bow again!
