Once upon a time ago
I can still remember
How a princess used to make me smile
And I knew if I still had that girl
Her giggle would brighten up my world
And maybe I'd be happy for awhile
Unexpectedly one month before
I had watched the mourners mourn
As bad news filled my newsfeed
There was something more she needed
Oh I remember that I cried
Reaching out without her by my side
Her revolution touched me deep inside
The month after Prince had died
So bye bye all-American Miss
Drove her caddy past her daddy
Extra time and her kiss
And spry young boys who really couldn't care less
Still succeeded capturing my princess
Succeeded capturing my princess
Did you sing the "bubbly" song
And remember how I sang along
Those fleeting times you took the stage?
Your streets might now be paved with gold
But on Broadway you'll still grow old
Like the way the neon lights revealed my age
Well at least this place ain't such a mess
She made room for all my emptiness
She's packed away her glass slippers and her shoes
She really has no more time to lose!
She was a former teenage ugly duckling
Whose tail feathers I didn't know I was plucking
But I never felt so damn unlucky
The month after Prince had died
She was singing~
Bye bye all-American Miss
Drove her caddy past her daddy
Coming back from the sticks
The charming young prince put her down on his list
To awaken beauty with his kiss
Now for one month I've been on my own
The voice inside me clears his throat
But that's not really all she wrote
The month after Prince had died
Like that sunny day holding her hand
She scrawled "I love you" in the sand
Soon swept away by a rising tide
It won't wash away in my mind!
The words inside my happy thoughts
Are stained upon my crying cloth
With more unspoken pillow talk
The month after Prince had died
She stopped singin'
Bye bye all-American Miss
Drove her caddy past her daddy
It's all come down to this
She shattered her mirror as I cackled in fear
Now the fairest one of all is unclear
