There is a little girl that I am madly in love with
She's only 17, and she's testing my patience
She knows what I want, and I know what she needs
We both know that we should not proceed

Father, please forgive me for I've sinned again
And again, and again
And again, and again
And again

She's a victim of the times
Daddy's tryin' to find, a way to keep his baby in line
He's got it all figured out, keep her locked in the house
Then she won't see or hear no evil

Don't you know the more you push, the more she runs?
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away

These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end
These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end

I promised her the world and she ate every word
She left her life in a sudden urge
She came along for the ride, now she's lost, she starts to cry
The big fat wolf is at her door

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest motherfucker of all?
It ain't me, it ain't me
It ain't me, it ain't me
It ain't me

(There's no going back now, it's way too late)
(Her innocence is lost now nothing remains)

These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end
These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end

These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end
These are the fairy tales that don't have happy endings
These are the fairy tales that never, ever, ever, end
