about

Written for the Pittsburgh Songwriters' Circle, 2017 and newly re-recorded in 2022, "Prince Charming" is an upbeat song about the dark underbelly of a fairy tale ending.

lyrics

Prince Charming

He dressed you in all of his finest
Gold and chiffon
There's no one to stop the proceedings
Now that stepmother's gone
You promise each other 'til death do you part
He kisses your lips and it breaks your young heart

Who wouldn't love to be seen around town with
Prince Charming?
Tall, dark, and handsome, his smile is so
Disarming
You live to be loved, so that's what you do
You made a vow and now you're following through
Who wouldn't love to be married to
Prince Charming?
Who?

He acts like you owe him a favor
You probably do
All of his servants and handmaidens
Are waiting on you
He likes to remind you of how much you need him
Outside of the royal bedroom, you hardly see him

Who wouldn't love to be seen around town with
Prince Charming?
Tall, dark, and handsome, his smile is so
Disarming
You live to be loved, so that's what you do
You made a vow and now you're following through
Who wouldn't love to be married to
Prince Charming?

Everybody you meet says you're practically glowing
You can see in the mirror every day that you're growing
And he's overjoyed that you'll soon be a mother
You traded one glass casket for another

He acts like you owe him a favor
Well, not anymore
He's gonna come home and he’ll find you
Sprawled on the floor
He’ll search for the poison all over the cabin
A kiss on the lips…
Nothing happens

Who wouldn't love to be seen around town with
Prince Charming?
Tall, dark, and handsome, so cryptic, he’s
Disarming
You live to be loved, so that's what you do
You made a vow and now you're following through
Who wouldn't love to be married to
Prince Charming?
Who wouldn't love to be married to
Prince Charming?
Who wouldn't love being married to
Prince Charming?
...You.
