She was a beautiful girl in the eyes of the world
At six years old her story was told
Little girls should always smile
While little boys are rough and wild
She was told to be seen and not heard
She was shown to be loved you gotta earn it
Daddy's little girl is living a lie
It's just the way it is and she doesn't know why
She doesn't say what she means
She doesn't know what she thinks about things
There's too many people to please
When you're living in a pretty prison
A little later in life she met a boy that she liked
He liked her too and no one was surprised
She knew the routine, he talked and she smiled
Laughed at his jokes and never got out of line
Then the pressure came on and came strong
She couldn't turn him down or he might be gone
The perfect girlfriend is living a lie
It's the way it's always been and she's not sure why
Sometimes she dreams of breaking out
Of learning to stand on her own feet
But why would she want to be released?
When there's people to meet; peace to keep
Meals to not eat
