I'd surely get a sweetheart, a prince or a king

A palace home where I could have everything

All I do is pray for someone to love me

If I had ribbon bow all nice and clean 
A            D       A        D 
I could be a princess or a fairy queen 
D     B           E                B                E 
Prince Charming then would court me, his love he would swear

There's a story of a girl, a story seldom told 
Gm        C                         Gm            C 
What she wanted from this world was not of gems or gold

Her wishes were quite plain as you will see

For often she would simply make this plea 
A              D           Am        F#m
