Glass Slipper Lyrics - Singles - The Dresden Dolls

No one's asking to go dancing its not like that anymore 

Its romantic if they mean it when they shut your fingers in the door 

Its a gory sort of story that's been told a hundred times before 

It gets tricky don't be picky if the slipper fits you wear it whore 

How many tips can I take home tonight without them getting mad 

How many stitches do you think it takes to fix a cut that bad 

How many minutes until midnight and you get your eyesight back 

not to knock it I've been off it never moving very much at once 

Its been awkward I still offer it when its that time of 

Other girls shower but I give out flowers 

To curious strangers who throw dollars at my feet 

how many crimes can I try spotting dry before it leaves a stain 

How many times say that I love you til it doesn't mean a thing 

How many fittings must I sit through with my big feet blistering 

How many times until it strips me and my big mouth strikes again 

I'm not asking to go dancing I'm not that dumb anymore 

Its exhausting to keep smiling when your toes are bleeding on the floor 

Its a gory sort of story that's been told a hundred times before 

Don't be sorry just ignore me because honestly 

I'm too sore from fitting exactly to ride into setting suns aching to 

Stand on my own two feet 

how many wishes do I still have left to fix the way it ends 

How many princes do you think 

It takes to put a girl like this back together again 

How many instances can you point out where I was less than kind 

How many happy endings do you need to change your fucking mind 

And how much time do we have left before it's midnight and 

You see that I was never the right size?
