This is by the book
A picture-perfect bride
I got my happy ending
In a fairy tale the knot must get tied

This is what I dreamed
Finally it's real
I knew what I would look like
But I never thought how I might feel

And there's more
More
More to the story
What you so often read
Isn't always so
There's more
More to the story
Now I know

Every princess is a beauty
Every dragon must be cruel
Big goes with bad
And royal goes with duty
We play our parts
We follow every rule

This is by the book
I knew it from the start
The ogre tries to hurt you
But I never knew they meant in the heart

And there's more
More
More to the story
What you so clearly see
Isn't always so

There's more
More to the story
Now I know
Now I know

What you so fondly told
Isn't always so
There's more
More
To the story
Now I know

This is by the book
I got my happy ending
