She just wanted someone to share in her joy
A husband, two children, a girl & a boy
& a nice little house on a nice lot some where
for anything more she just hadn't a care
she worked really hard just to make it come true
she even expected a tough time or two
Because anything worth having didn't come cheap
& those were the words that echoed in her sleep
Soon it all came together & just as she planned
A nice car, a small house & good job... but no man
She came home to the quiet, to calm & serene
Cozy, uncluttered & lonely but clean
But to finally make all her wishes come true
She needed one more potion stirred into the brew
That potion would lure her true prince to her side
& life would be Camelot for the new bride
& the babies would come & the babies would grow
but was this how her real story turns out... OH NO
because what she thought boring & tidy & lonely
she prayed for at night but could find in dreams only
she soon reminisced of the life she'd once lived
her Camelot soon became quite primitive
She'd found her Prince Charming & charming he was
So she spoiled him & soon moved him in just because
In her dreams every thing was falling into place
& soon she would feel her new baby's embrace
but things became different, she wasn't sure when
but her prince wasn't the same charming guy that he'd been
at first it began with the verbal assault
what ever happened, always her fault
seem that what ever she did wasn't right
then her prince starts to drink & would stay out all night
she'd sit up for hours both lonely & scared
she thought about calling but never once dared
She just wanted some one to share in her joy
A husband, two children, a girl & a boy
& a nice little house on a nice lot somewhere
for anything more she just hadn't a care
she lay there just hugging his pillow real tight
then got up & just walked the floor half the night
she then scrubbed the bathroom till it looked just like new
because worrying about him was all she could do
finally the door to the house just flew open
but not to the hug & I'm sorry she's hoping
will fall from his lips as she fills his embrace
instead he just cursed her & spat in her face
& asked why she looked like she hadn't had sleep
as if she were the one out all night on the creep
& who'd you let out just before I came in?
he asked her then slapped her... again & again
now he tares through her house spitting curses & beer
knocking down doors screaming somebody's here
He says if he finds him he's dead on the spot
& he'll take it all out on her if he does not
she curls up in a corner & prays he'll calm down
as she's hearing her valuables crash to the ground
then he runs to her room & turns over the bed
the head board by half an inch misses her head
"who'd you have in the shower?" he said in a roar
as the vanity mirrors are thrown to the floor
& now he's above her his nostrils a flair
reaches down & snatches her up by her hair
he says he will teach her to show him respect
so he lets go & clamps his hands around her neck
& he starts to explain why he does what he does
in the panic & haze she remembers what was
she worked really hard just to make it come true
she even expected a tough time or two
Because anything worth having didn't come cheap
& those were the words that echoed in her sleep
