Everyday Princess

Everyday Princess - Anika Noni Rose

Some stories start once upon a time

Like a dreamer's dream

But theirs aren't mine

I just worked hard

I wasn't the kind for wishes

You can safely say

I'm not your everyday princess

Now life isn't always what it seems

If you mix a little magic in New Orleans

It's a jambalaya to stimulate your senses

Not your usual taste

Not your everyday princess

Now life is what you make it

We can all be royalty

It's a prize for you so take it

You never know what you can be

It sure is great having breakfast in your bed

With a sparkly crown sittin' on your head

But that's not me

I wear mine cookin' up new dishes

Because I'll never be

Your everyday princess ooh

Life is what you make it

We can all be royalty

It's a prize for you so take it

You never know what you can be

'Cause you can have it all

Just look at me

Makin' my own dreams come true

Not your everyday princess

Still a princess every day ooh ooh
