once upon a fairy time
in a far away far away land
there was a girl named Caroline
waitin' for her own dream man
now prince charming wasn't on time
he stood up poor caroline
so you must realize
the tears in carolines eyes

my story about the world
my story about a girl
who's gonna save poor caroline
cuz prince charming wasn't on time

so far in this fairy tale
guess I should call it fairy hell
we have our poor caroline
and prince charming out of time
she's balled up on the floor
can't keep her eyes from the door
all she hears is the clock telling time
any knock will do just fine

my story about the world
my story about a girl
who's gonna save poor caroline
she's running out of time

no more hope ‘n' no more prayer
open the door, but noones there
why do I life in a fairy hell
first she whispers now she yells
someone walks up one step at a time
not prince charming but prince fine
she dries her eyes and takes his hand
they stroll to fairy land

my story about the world
my story about a girl
someone saved poor caroline
she almost ran out of time

my story about the world
my story about a girl
someone saved poor caroline
cuz prince charming wasn't on time
