Anika Noni Rose - Everyday Princess

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
