Happily Never After Lyrics
I don't think I want this anymore
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself: 'You've left before'
This time you will stay gone, that's for sure.
And he shouted something else
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway.
She had never gone that far.
Normally this would be the time
That she would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,
As she got into her car, she said
No, happily never after
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall.
As she drove away she starts to smile
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.
Laughing about the way he shattered something else
To drag her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far.
Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No, happily never after
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another tear drop fall.
I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done (So done, done, done, done, done)
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Free to be me.
She inhales on air she'd never breathed before
Cure of no drama no more.
She said
No, happily never after
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall.

Oooooooooooh
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Another teardrop fall
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself: 'You've left before'
This time you will stay gone, that's for sure.
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway.
She had never gone that far.
That she would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,
As she got into her car, she said
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall.
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.
To drag her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far.
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car, she said
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another tear drop fall.
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Free to be me.
Cure of no drama no more.
No, happily never after
That just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall.

i luv this song, i think this is about breaking up with someone finally because she knows she deserves better and now shes free
Agree with Frankie ^ She's tried to leave before and she knows she should and she finally breaks free. Love the line 'As she drove away she starts to smile' because it's like she's finally content. beautiful song.
I believe this song is about more than just a couple breaking up; I think its about a couple getting divorced (so much more traumatic!) due to the line: "I don't think I want this anymore, as she drops the ring to the floor"
Not to mention, marriage is often seen as a 'Happily Ever After' scenario, and in the song it seems that her (marriage) turned out 'Happily Never After' maybe...?
Overall, great song and it helped me get through my own divorce. Amazing how music can lift the spirit :]
Just wanna say that this song is a really good song & i really like this song! But i just wanna let everyone who's a The Pussycat Dolls fan know that they did take this song from the Backstreet Boys! It's an unreleased track that didnt make it on there newest cd "Unbreakable" that came out in 2007! If i had to pick between BSB's & The Pussycat Dolls version nothing again the version that the dolls did but, BSB's version is way better & if u havent heard BSB's go download it & im sure you'll agree with me!!!!
Yeah, i think same thing, agree with you. BSB sing this song better :D
Yeah, i think same thing, agree with you. BSB sing this song better :D
The lyrics are ordinary, however I'm in love with this song!! It's so cute, and affective. Better than the Backstreet Boys version, because it's more simple, and sounds more meaningful..
Happily (N)ever After--- it's really clever btw
I haven't heard that BSB version but Ne-yo originally wrote this for Britney Spears but he got fed up with her unproffesional acts and gave it to Nichole Scherenzinger to sing.. apparently she's a huge Britney fan, notice how she changes her voice to ssound like Britney not her normal singing voice
this song is amazing. (:
