she was daddy's girl
the little princess of his world
she was his pride and joy
just a decoy

she was a bit confused
wondered then if she'd been used
as a grown-up's living toy
he was so proud of this little girl
but no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
and all he put her trough

oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain

she is no one girl
so lonely in this world
she has no joy, she's lost her pride
she walks alone

she's so confused
it's living hell knowing she's abused
no one hears the tears she cries
tell me why
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain

he was so proud of his little girl
no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
that no one should go through

oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain

ooooh, all of her life she's been hiding
oooooh, all of her feelings
are locked up inside
snd her nightmares'll live on through
in everything she'll do
she's a wounded angel that never
learned to fly
