She was on top of the world
A new sorority girl
She had raised the bar
Because she’d come so far

It was a brand new life
She had earned through strife
Now the belle of the ball
She really had it all

The social scene moved fast
And she was quickly cast
At the top of the list
That no one could resist

(Chorus)
It was a Cinderella story
Girl from the reformatory
Now she was bound for greater glory
In a whole new category
But he was dark and predatory
Stalking the dormitory
It was his special territory
Put her into purgatory


The wolf is hunting sheep
And he plays this game for keeps
He hides behind good looks
And pretends to hit the books

He used charm as his lure
As a way to get to her
With her defenses down
He was set to go to town

She would never suspect
And could not detect
The malice in his heart
That would tear her world apart

(Chorus)
It was a Cinderella story
Girl from the reformatory
Now she was bound for greater glory
In a whole new category
But he was dark and predatory
Stalking the dormitory
It was his special territory
Put her into purgatory


Once he got her alone
He put away her phone
He forced his will on her
While she fought back in anger

He recorded what he did
How he broke this little kid
The things he made her do
Destroyed more than he knew

The clock had struck midnight
He had blackened her light
She would never be the same
She could never trust again

(Chorus)
It was a Cinderella story
Girl from the reformatory
Now she was bound for greater glory
In a whole new category
But he was dark and predatory
Stalking the dormitory
It was his special territory
Put her into purgatory
