About This Track

‘Cinderella’ by The Knocks is a 2016 electronic track from the album ‘55’. The lyrics have a flirty, slightly frantic edge, with a speaker inviting someone in while insisting they should not worry, even as the night feels like it has a countdown to it. The repeated urge to keep moving and to play the game culminates in the reassurance “don’t worry about a thing”.

Lyrics

Cinderella

[Verse 1]

Come take my temperature, I think I'm burning up

But I keep dancing to my heartbeat stops

Oh, darling what's your name? It's time to play the game

We've got 'til midnight 'til the backbeat stops

[Refrain]

So no, no, no, no, don't worry about a thing, love

Just feel the rhythm of your body and mine

So no, no, no, no, don't worry about a thing, love

Just feel the rhythm of your body tonight

[Chorus]

Lose your slippers and move your feet

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Don't stop living this fantasy

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

[Verse 2]

You've got me hypnotized, it's something in your eyes

I know you're different by the way you stare

You say you gotta go, just makes me want you more

But it's alright, I'll take you anywhere

[Refrain]

So no, no, no, no, don't worry about a thing, love

Just feel the rhythm of your body and mine

So no, no, no, no, don't worry about a thing, love

Just feel the rhythm of your body tonight

[Chorus]

Lose your slippers and move your feet

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Don't stop living this fantasy

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

[Bridge]

Oh can we dance all night?

Oh you and I, oh you and I, oh you and I

Until the morning light

We can try, try, try

Oh can we dance all night?

Oh you and I, oh you and I, oh you and I

Until the morning light

We can try, we can try, we can try

We can try, we can try

[Chorus]

Lose your slippers and move your feet

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Don't stop living this fantasy

Say, oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella

Oh Cinderella, go Cinderella
