Apartment
Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey
Don't want to go to Rapunzel's hairdresser
Get me outta this
This, this here fairytale
According to me dreams are hell
I don't wanna kiss that faggot froggy
Don't want to fall in love
With the beast or the beauty
Get me outta this
This, this here fairytale
According to me dreams are hell
All I want is an Apartment
All I need is an Apartment
If you've any leads on an Apartment
Tell me please
Cause I'm runnin' away from Cinderella
I don't wanna fly on a dragon
God knows I've had so many drags,
So many of them
Get me outta this
This, this here fairytale
According to me real life is swell
All I need is an Apartment
All I want is an Apartment
If you've any leads on an Apartment
Tell me please
Cause I'm runnin' away
I'm runnin' away
I'm runnin' away from Cinderella
