[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
There was a prince
Who needed a princess
But nobody loved him
They said don't worry
It'll be finer then fine
You just gotta find
Who you think is right

[Chorus]
So he cried, and he cried
He tried, and he tried
Just to satisfy his princess
She just said no over and over again
Once upon a time

[Verse 2]
Once upon a time
He went to her place
She said no
Straight to his face
And he said
Where will I find
Who would have time
To love me, to love me
[Chorus]
So he cried, and he cried
He tried, and he tried
Just to satisfy his princess
She just said no over and over again
Once upon a time

[Bridge]
Once upon a time
He met this shy girl
Her hair with her faded eyes
She wanted him
To be her prince
He was happy again
So here they went to an alter
And he became a father

[Chorus]
He said yes, and he said yes
She was in tears, she was in tears
But they were the best
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
