Algebra Blessett – (ABC's 1, 2, 3's) Happy After lyrics

Once upon a time
There was a damsel
Where deep in the hood
Stood a castle
And she often sat on the stoop
And watched the ghetto youth
Do the things they do
And oh
She dreamed of the day
Her knight would come through
With his shiny number...twenty two
To take her far away
From the heartache and pain
To a world she never knew

[Chorus:]
It's the same old story
Just another life time
Girl wants to be rescued
From all the hard times
You can be prince charming
I'll be Cinderella
Don't want a fairy tale
Just gimme happy after

For days on end
She tries to pretend
Like with her
There is nothing, nothing wrong
Although she tries
You can see the tracks from the tears that she cries
All night long
And she constantly weeps
For the house with the picket fence
And the big back yard
And she hopes one day
That a prince will take her away
To a life that ain't so hard

[Chorus:]

If I throw down my hair like Rapunzel
Would you come up and save me
If I'm in deep sleep like a beauty
Would you kiss me to wake me
And if my step mother won't let me out of the house
Would you rescue me
Would you rescue me

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

Happily after give me after
Happily after give me after
Happily after give me after
Happily after give me after
Happy happy after
After happy after
