Lyrics
[verse]
Little sister's got the fairy tale book out again
Asking me what happens to the prince and when
I tell her every story's got a different plot
Not every ending needs a castle and a lot
She says but don't you want the glass slipper part
I tell her real love starts before the spark
[chorus]
Hey, little Cinderella, don't rush the clock
Midnight isn't really gonna stop
The right one's gonna love you slippers on or off
No countdown needed, no need to scoff
Take your time, little Cinderella, take your time
The story's better when it's yours and it's fine
[verse]
She says the movies make it seem so quick
One dance and true love, it's a done deal, click
I tell her real stories take a little more
A little patience, a little open door
Not every prince shows up in a fancy chase
Sometimes he's just a friend with a familiar face
[chorus]
Hey, little Cinderella, don't rush the clock
Midnight isn't really gonna stop
The right one's gonna love you slippers on or off
No countdown needed, no need to scoff
Take your time, little Cinderella, take your time
The story's better when it's yours and it's fine
[bridge]
You don't need a fairy godmother's spell
You've got your own kind of magic as well
Write your story at your own pace
There's no deadline on finding your place
[chorus]
Hey, little Cinderella, don't rush the clock
Midnight isn't really gonna stop
The right one's gonna love you slippers on or off
No countdown needed, no need to scoff
Take your time, little Cinderella, take your time
The story's better when it's yours and it's fine
