ロミオとシンデレラ (Romeo to Cinderella)

Background
"The lyrics this time come mainly from an old story of a good girl or something."

- Author's comment

The song is about a schoolgirl who is deeply in love with her "Romeo". Her parents disapprove of the relationship so she lies constantly to keep it in secret. The girl compares her situation with Juliet's forbidden romance, but instead of Juliet's tragic ending she wants to have a happy ending like Cinderella did.

At the end of the song, she realizes her situation is critical and her own lies are menacing her so she asks her "Romeo" to come and save her. Interestingly, near the end of the song it is hinted that possibly her "relationship" could have just been a fit of passion.

The song has over one million views, and has entered the Hall of Legend. It was released with its instrumental as a KarenT single, and is the title track of doriko's first major album, ロミオとシンデレラ.

doriko has since then released a recent sequel to the song, "Watashi to Juliet" (Me and Juliet).

Lyrics
Japanese Lyrics= Written by an unknown artist, this version of the lyrics were used in the English version of Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd.  Don't make my love your tragic Juliet Take me away...
 * -|Approved English Lyrics=

That's how I feel

Tell Mom and Dad goodnight Wish them sweet dreams, at least It's bedtime for grownups

Choking on captivating caramel Entwining my bare, bashful legs How far can we venture tonight?

Be gentle, don't bite I still dislike bitter tastes Having been spoiled on Mom's homemade sweets

When there's something you don't know It's only natural to want to find out Show me everything And just for you, I'll show you mine too...

I'm a Cinderella, yearning for you, I'll come running in my school uniform Oh magic, please stop the hands of time Before the villain interferes

I'm a Juliet who wants to run away But don't call me by that name We have to live happily ever after Otherwise where's the fun?

Tell me, will you choose life?

Won't you peek into my heart? See how it brims with desires? I've got room for more Pack my heart until it's full Until it fills up the place Where you are

But what would be the point?

They say happiness comes in small packages If something doesn't change You're going to end up hating me

But Mom and Dad are the same as ever They just want more You're right, I should be honest The axe I dropped was one of gold

Cinderella told one too many lies And got herself swallowed by the wolf If something doesn't change He's going to end up eating me too

Come to my rescue, before it's too late!
