I used to be your girlfriend and I know I did it well,
Oh yes you know its true,
You called me Cinderella,
All you had to do was yell and I'd be there for you,

Here I am, so try to forgive me,
I don't believe in fairy tales,
Here we are with nothin' but honesty,
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay,

I'm sorry for runnin' away like this,
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish,
Ahh
But Cinderella's got to go

From time to time I'd tried to tell just what was on my mind,
You told me not today,
Come back, do that, where's Cinderella at?,
Was all ya had to say,
Here I am, so try to forgive me,
I don't believe in fairy tales,
Here we are with nothin' but honesty,
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay,

I'm sorry for runnin' away like this,
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish,
Ahh
But Cinderella's got to go

I'm sorry just tryin' to live my life,
Don't worry your gonna be alright,
But Cinderella's got to go,

[Spoken]
To say I want you, You cast me under your spell,
I did everything you wanted me to,
But now I shall, break free from all your lies,
I won't be blind you see, my love it can't be sacrificed I won't return to thee

(I'm so sorry, I've already made up my mind)
I won't return to thee

I'm sorry to say I'm running away now,
Don't worry you will be alright,
I'm runnin' away I've made up my mind now,
Your gonna have to let me go,

'Cause she's gotta go

I'm sorry for runnin' away like this,
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish,

But Cinderella's got to go

I'm sorry just tryin' to live my life,
Don't worry your gonna be alright,
But Cinderella's got to go,

    General Comment:I thought we were supposed to be talking about the meaning of the song?

    Tease91199 has got the right idea I think, its about leaving someone you love because the way they treat you isn't right. "This Cinderella has got to go"

    General Comment:Britney CAN sing and CAN dance=talented.
    She CANNOT write music and CANNOT play an instrument=NOT MULTI TALENTED.
    The concept is not hard.
    And for those who think she can not sing, that is just your opinion. To some, she can and is therefore, talented.

    General Comment:i just have one question

    y...y britney...y did u slotter the deffinition of music! u have twisted the minds of stupid little girls using up what little brain cells they have to think that "im a slave for you" is what you call music....i personally think barney---ya the big purple dinosaur---could sing better than u! i swear to my big harry butt the way u were discovered was u were singing in the shower in a porn video and some old guy was like "o ya i wanna see that body more often lets tell her she can sing good and get her in a music video!"

    now lets go to "Katie's Skool of Good Music"...these are the rules to pass my class

    1.Dont think britney can write----britney cant write good music so tell me exactally y people were so shocked that her letter sucked my monkeys big harry dick! who in their right mind actually paid to read that --- anyone who did pay for it deserved paying for cpar i mean hell! waht kind of idiot are you?? o wait i forgot a britney fan is a diss to all idiots (sorry to all u idiots out there i am deeply sorry)

    2.music is only good when loud and heavy. britneys is nethier so it cant possibly good. we can start u out with nickleback---then godsmack---then marilyn manson sooner or later u will kno the TRUE defffinition of music

    see---simple---2 rules---but i dotn expect u britney fans to pass my class cuz (take this personaly!) but i dont think u have enough brain cells but you can try i mean the first step to relizing britney music sucks is admitting to it so give it a try

    General Comment:I cant help but like this song. My b/f used to sing a couple of words of it 2 me all the time, but i had neva heard it. So then it was stuck in my head from him. Then I heard it by Britney and was a little gutted. But it relates to him for me not britney, so i still like it.

    General Comment:Rock on youreaverageperson, whitepoett, and billabong punk! As i said before, ufasn8me, britney should stay the fuck out of the music industry. First of all, people that dont write their own songs cannot possibly put feeling into a song. If its not your words, then all you are doing is relating to the song if anything. Writing your own songs is part of the talent of being a musician, and without that then you can never be much of anything. Look at creed lyrics and just try to compare them to this. This music is an insult to the intellegence of our society, and the fact that it is dominating the most popular music in our society is pathetic. So try to see the light for yourself and understand the difference between poetry and garbage... it's the first step towards becoming a person with good taste. I also want to point out that miss spears makes herself a role model to all the little girls in the world, but she is also cought smoking cigs, cursing, and giving the middle finger to papparazis. What a fucking hypocrit she is! Anyway, rock on, those of you with taste!
