A Glass Slipper or A Blue Suede Shoe? ~ faded to grey

A little girl asked to be a princess
To wear fine gowns, jewels, nothing less
She wanted tiny glass slippers on her feet
And for her rooms to always be neat

She wanted her prince to carry her away
And to become his Queen on their marriage day
Surrounded by her childrens laughter
Truly a happy ever after

But how can you be so very sure
That this is what she wants any more
For the girl grew up to womanhood
And wants what any woman should

To go out partying every night
Not stopping til first morning light
Wearing her blue suede shoes
Acting like she has nothing to lose

Knowing her prince won't come along
Not listening to cupid's love song
Now this modern woman sits alone
Not even a friend to call on the telephone

So now you know why we buy so many shoes
For when a woman gets the blues
She buys a new pair so she feels better
And her eyes don't get any wetter.
