  • I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
    It wasn't any secret I'd be asking for her hand
    I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
    With at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

    She was playing Cinderella
    She was riding her first bike
    Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
    Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
    Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
    In her eyes I'm Prince Charming
    But to him I'm just some fella
    Riding in and stealing Cinderella

    I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
    When I heard a voice behind me say, "Now, ain't she something, son?"
    I said "Yeah, she's quite a woman"
    And he just stared at me
    And I realized that in his eyes she would always be

    Playing Cinderella
    Riding her first bike
    Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
    Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
    Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
    In her eyes I'm Prince Charming
    But to him I'm just some fella
    Riding in and stealing Cinderella
    Ooh-ooh-ooh

    Oh, he slapped me on the shoulder
    Then he called her in the room
    And when she threw her arms around him
    That's when I could see it too

    She was playing Cinderella
    Riding her first bike
    Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
    Running through the sprinklers with a big popsicle grin
    Dancing with her dad and looking up at him
    If he gives me a hard time
    I can't blame the fella
    I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella, mmhmm Writer/s: Chuck Wicks, George Teren, Rivers Rutherford
