Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending
Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending

Mama said you better watch yourself
When you’re flying high on the wings of love
Keep your balance or you just might fall
And when you fall, you gotta be strong
'Cause love ain’t like no fairy tale

Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending
Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending

Every time I see you ’round the way
I start thinking about yesterday
A picture perfect world is what I saw
A picket fence, a house, a fancy car

I just knew that you were heaven sent
You would make all of my wishes come true
You’d be my knight and shining armor, someday
I was your princess, soon to be queen

Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending
Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending

I just knew that you were heaven sent
You would make all of my wishes come true
You’d be my knight and shining armor someday
I was your princess, soon to be queen

Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending
Love ain’t like no fairy tale, it’ll break your heart
’Cause it don’t always have a happy ending
