Oh, bless their hearts... the stepsisters try... Stepsister One squeezes in with a grunt and a sneer "Toes like sausages, darling, but the prince won't care" She limps 'round the room like a queen in denial "Glass is forgiving, right? Style over trial" Stepsister Two forces it, heel hanging out "Beauty is pain, honey, that's what it's about" They shove and they twist with a smile so fake While the clock ticks down on their ugly little mistake Oh, how tragic... how perfectly sad Trying so hard when the fit's just... bad Glass slipper, glass slipper, won't you lie to me? Tell these ugly steps that they're royalty Cinderella's in the corner, ashes in her hair But watch what happens when the real one takes the chair Bless your hearts, girls... some shoes just know the truth They laugh and they mock her, "Cinders, you wish" "Your feet are too dirty for a shoe like this" But the prince says "Try it" with that charming grin And it slides on perfect like it always was meant Stepsisters gasp, faces turning green "Impossible! Witchcraft! That's not how it's seen!" She stands up glowing, rags turn to gown While they stand there broken in their ugly renown Philosophy in a slipper, so simple and cruel The right one fits when the soul's been through school You can force it, squeeze it, curse it all night But glass don't lie under palace light... Glass slipper, glass slipper, shining so bright Stepsisters fuming in the pale moonlight Cinderella rising, from cinders to queen Moral of the story? Some things ain't ever gonna fit the scene Bless your hearts, darlings... keep trying those shoes The mirror never lies... and neither does the truth Yeah... some fits... some don't...
