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!
