It never happens
It never happens
In real life


In the storybook
The hero, young and brave

Fights to win his girl
And vows to be her slave


[chorus]
But it never happens
Never happens

Never happens in real life

Cinderella lost her slipper

At the king's ball
But she found a prince
So handsome, so tall


[repeat chorus]


Billy and mary
Go steady now
I saw johnny take mary to the prom

Yes, i did

Maybe i'm silly

But i know somehow
Someday, my queen will come along


Hurry to my heart
And give your love to me
Change my lonely life

And i will believe

It never happens

Never happens
It ever happens in real life


It never happens in real life
It never, it never happens in real life
No, no, no, no
