[Lyric] Cinderella (Brother Phelps)

[Verse 1]
Last December I met a girl
She took a likin' to me, said she loved me
But she didn't know the meaning of the word

She imagined love to be grand
Me holding her hand and whispering sweet things
And cooing softly like a song bird

Then one morning she came to me
With a tear in her eye and a sigh on her breath, and Lord
She said, "Hon, I'm heavy with child"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I said, "Hey girl can't you see
That I'm breaking my back
Just tryin' to keep my head above water
And it's turning me wild"

[Chorus]
Cinderella can't you see
Don't want your company
You better leave this morning, left that day
Take your love and your child away
[Verse 2]
Rocking chair on my front porch
Well I'm thinkin' about all the things that I did as a young man
Now that I'm old

And I remember her and the boy
Did he have all the toys and the joys that a young man should have
Before he gets too old

[Chorus]
Cinderella couldn't you see
I didn't want your company
You shoulda left that morning, left that day
Took your love and your child away
