Stealing Cinderella

I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man It wasn't any secret I'd be asking for her hand I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself With at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf She was playing Cinderella She was riding her first bike Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin Dancing with her dad, looking up at him In her eyes I'm Prince Charming But to him I'm just some fella Riding in and stealing Cinderella I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one When I heard a voice behind me say, "Now, ain't she something, son?" I said "Yeah, she's quite a woman" And he just stared at me And I realized that in his eyes she would always be Playing Cinderella Riding her first bike Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin Dancing with her dad, looking up at him In her eyes I'm Prince Charming But to him I'm just some fella Riding in and stealing Cinderella Ooh-ooh-ooh Oh, he slapped me on the shoulder Then he called her in the room And when she threw her arms around him That's when I could see it too She was playing Cinderella Riding her first bike Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight Running through the sprinklers with a big popsicle grin Dancing with her dad and looking up at him If he gives me a hard time I can't blame the fella I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella, mmhmm
