I just like this song, but TAXI critiques tell me the hook isn't oblivious enough. I thought the hook was very oblivious in this song as I mention it in the first verse and its in the second line of the chorus "knights in shining armour and fairy tales."

Lyrics

Knights In Shining Armor and Fairy Tales

Written By: Lisa Courtney
September 2, 2005

When I was a little girl
My mama used to read to me
?Bout Damsels in distress
And knights in shining armor
Rushing in to rescue them.

The girls were always
Helpless and pretty
Just waiting for a man
To come along
And set her free.

Chorus:

Who would have ever thought
Knights in Shining Armor and Fairy Tales
Would have such a negative impact
On little? girls.

2nd Verse:

When I was a teenager
I used to read True Confessions
And Emily Loring Romances
Now I knew that
They were just stories
But secretly I bought
Into the Fantasy.

Chorus:

Who would have ever thought
Knigths in Shining Armor and Fairy tales
Would have such a negative impact
On little..girls.

Bridge:

Well, attitudes have changed
And that?s a good thing
Girls are no longer
Locked in towers or chains
Footloose and fancy free
They make their own reality.


3nd Verse:

Little daughter at my knee
We look alike but she nothing much like me
Independent, strong as she can be
She doesn?t buy into fantasties
She can be what she wants to be
Cause she in charge
Of her destiny.

Chorus:

Now there?s still Knights in Shining Armor
And Fairy Tales
But no damsels in distress
Not our little?girls!
