"Stealing Cinderella" by Chuck Wicks (Rivers Rutherford/George Teren/Chuck Wicks)

1st Verse

I came to see her Daddy
For sitdown, man to man
It wadn't any secret
I'd be askin' for her hand
I guess it's why he left me waiting
In the livin' room by myself
With at least a dozen pictures of her
Sittin' on a shelf

Chorus

(She was) playin' Cinderella
(She was) ridin' her first bike
And bouncin' on the bed
And lookin' for a pillow fight
Runnin' through the sprinkler
With a big popsicle grin
Dancin' with her Dad
Lookin' up at him
In her eyes I'm Prince Charming
But to him I'm just some fella
Ridin' in and stealin' Cinderella

2nd Verse

I leaned in towards those pictures
To get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say,
'Now, ain't she somethin', son'
I said, 'Yeah, she's quite a woman'
And he just atared at me
And I realized that in his eyes
She would always be

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Oh, he slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That's when I could see it, too

Tag Chorus

She was playin' Cinderella
Ridin' her first bike
Bouncin' on the bed
And lookin' for a pillow fight
Runnin' through the sprinklers
With a big popsicle grin
Dancin' with her Dad
Lookin' up at him
He gives me a hard time
I can't blame the thing
I'm the one who's stealin' Cinderella
Umm, hmm
