Outside of "Love Song," this is my favorite Sara Bareilles song. It's so clever and so true! The music itself is just so fabulous, and I'm in love with the lyrics! It actually inspired me for my college writing class. I wrote a story following the four princesses mentioned after their "happily ever after." So thank you, Sara, for sharing you're amazing music and helping me get the top grade in my class! :D
All these years later in 2024, I suddenly thought of this song and popped it on. The lyrics still give me a good chuckle. MANY years ago, I used this song for a musical theatre audition that called for a humorous/lighthearted song. I don't remember if I got into the show or not, but remember how much fun I had learning this song.
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor she's got a Crush on the guy at the liquor store 'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore and she forgets why she came here. Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame she says None for you dear prince, I'm tired today. I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming I don't care for your fairytale You're so worried 'bout the maiden, Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing Snow White is doing dishes again cause what else can you do With seven itty bitty men? Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says will you meet me at midnight. The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows. I don't care for your fairytale You're so worried 'bout the maiden, Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, man made up a story Said that I should believe him Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight But I don't want the next best thing So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls 'round me Can't take no more of your fairytale love I don't care for your fairytale You're so worried bout the maiden, Though you know she's used to waiting spent her whole life being graded on the Sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation The story needs some mending and a better happy ending 'Cause I don't want the next best thing no no I don't want the next best thing.
I was surprise by this song.... wasn't expecting to like this base on the title alone. But this has become my 4th fav song from the album. Please to be surprised. I enjoyed this one ^_^
"love song" is one of the songs that i can listen to over and over again without getting tired. Not many songs can for me. Not even my favorite "my sacrifice" by creed. I think it's the music that calms me down, the way the song flows. Even though Sara has an amazing voice, it's not the lyrics that i love in the song "love song", it's only the way the music flows.
this is the first time i listen this song and i like it! sara, you have beautiful voice, greetings from Monterrey, Mexico! and please!!! come soon!!!! PS: i like your music so much!!!
yeah, i think thats exactly right. Maybe i was in bad mood that day or i was just fed up with something, whatever it was i was just trying to say like there's no need to swear with every little thing that you do. Thanks for understanding. :)
