Say you're sorry
   You still care
   She came by my place again
   Cryin' about you man
   You should love her
   Twice as much
   I try to remember you're a friend
   But it's gettin' a little rough
  
   She's just tired
   Of bein' Cinderella
   She can't live that way no more
   She needs a little affection
   A little understanding
   You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
   She won't be a Cinderella no more
  
   A teardrop trembled
   On her face
   Where that smile always was
   It seemed out of place
   And when I held her
   Like a friend
   I could feel a sweet beginning
   But taste a bitter end
  
   She's just tired
   Of bein' Cinderella
   She can't live that way no more
   She needs a little affection
   A little understanding
   And you better be careful
   'Cause the next time she comes to my door
   You'll be sorry
  
   'Cause it seems like
   It's always something with you
   And everybody's always wrong
   One of these nights
   You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
   And she's gonna be gone
  
   She's just tired
   Of bein' Cinderella
   She can't live that way no more
   She needs a little affection
   A little understanding
   And you better be careful
   'Cause the next time she comes to my door
   You'll be sorry
  
   She's just tired
   Of bein' Cinderella
   She can't live that way no more
   She needs a little affection
   A little understanding
   And you better be careful
   'Cause the next time she comes to my door
   You'll be sorry
