Daddy's Little Princess

Clark Steven Lupton

2003



When you were born

You were a cute little baby

Everyone predicted

You'd grow into a lovely lady



Your parents showed off your baby pictures

People said they were very nice

And just like the Power Puff Girls

They said you were made of sugar and spice



And then you started school

You really did stand out

Great things were expected of you

Of that there was no doubt



You were the teacher's favorite

And the favorite of the class

You could get by on your looks

In case you didn't pass



Then you went to high school

And all the boys liked you

You wouldn't have been the center of attention

If that wasn't true



And then you went to college

The girls - there were all kinds

But the other girls didn't matter

It was you on all the boy's minds



Then after college

The people thought you were a snob

But it didn't really matter

You still got the best job



You were the favorite once again

You rose up through the ranks

You made more money than the others did

And laughed all the way to your banks



Then you got married

Your husband was the best

He was smart and good looking

And richer than the rest



Then you had your own little daughter

She'll be the prize of future men

She's daddy's little princess

And the cycle starts all over again
