Once upon a time, you were a queen
And I was your king
In a castle like Adam and Eve
We had everything
A one-room apartment
Holes in the carpet
Night after night, the neighbors would fight
And no one was right
We'd swear we'd never be like
That husband and wife
We were so naive then, at seventeen
Yeah, we believed in
True love and other fairy tales
Our bed of roses has become a bed of nails
You keep the rainbow
Tell everyone we failed
So much for true love and other fairy tales
We were two-of-a-kind, partners in crime
What a pair of fools
Caught in the rain, sharing cheap champagne
When we were supposed to be at school
Was it just a dream then, don't ask me
'Cause I don't believe in
True love and other fairy tales
Our bed of roses has become a bed of nails
You keep the rainbow
Tell everyone we failed
So much for true love and other fairy tales
No happily ever after
Now that crying drowns the laughter
Snow white on a silver spoon
Jack loved Jill
And now she's on the pill
And Jack ran away
With a little boy blue
So blue
Once upon a time, lived a boy and girl
A lot like me and you
Was it just a dream then, don't ask me
'Cause I don't believe in
True love and other fairy tales
Our bed of roses has become a bed of nails
You keep the rainbow
Tell everyone we failed
So much for true love
So much for true love
So much for true love and other fairy tales
And I was your king
In a castle like Adam and Eve
We had everything
A one-room apartment
