Storybook

Storybook
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Hey, yeah
I know by now this time would come
Storybook

He was looking for someone
Who could keep him guessing
A little fevered tap-dance of emotion
She was looking for someone
Who could keep her happy
Two ships collide on different oceans

You know how the story goes
How it's bound to end
Cinderella thinks she's found herself
A shining prince

Yeah, they'll tell you
That the storybook is really true
(Tell you it's true)
But it's gonna break their hearts
Living in make-believe
Oh, yeah, the one and only
Storybook that's really true
(Tell you it's true)
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in, oh...

I tell you, tell you
Oh, yeah, uh-huh

He was working his days away
For next to nothing
To buy a piece of happy ever after, oh, yeah
She decided she wanted more
Than he could offer
The invisible land of greener pastures

You know how the story goes
How it's bound to end
When reality awakes in never-never land

Yeah, they'll tell you
That the storybook is really true
(Tell you it's true)
But it's gonna break their hearts
Living in make-believe
Oh, yeah, the one and only
Storybook that's really true
(Tell you it's true)
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in

Oh, they'll tell you
That the storybook is really true
(Tell you it's true)
But it's gonna break their hearts
Living in make-believe
Oh, yeah, the one and only
Storybook that's really true
(Tell you it's true)
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in, oh...

And I hear you say
That you're a victim of circumstance, oh...
Don't you wait for a rainy day
Oh, give something real a chance

Tell you that the storybook
Storybook, story, yeah
What you can't believe in, oh, yeah
One and only storybook
(Tell you it's true)
